quran and science

      yellowhow quran is explaining scirnce.give some examples

Quran is the ultimate book of wisdom which covers all aspects of human life and contains a number of scientific references far beyond the level of scientific knowledge that was available at the time of its revelation. Some examples below among many stands testimony to its divine origin having mentioned scientific facts known only as late as in the last couple of centuries, some 14 centuries ago:

Al Anbiya 21:30: Have not those who disbelieve known that the heavens and the earth were of one piece, then We parted them, and we made every living thing of water? Will they not then believe? - This is perfectly in line with the modern scientific idea of primary nebula followed by separation of elements resulting in formation of galaxies. Also a clear reference to the aquatic origin of life.

Nooh 71:15-16: See ye not how Allah hath created seven heavens in harmony, And hath made the moon a light therein, and made the sun a lamp? - A clear differentiation between sun which is in a state of combustion producing both light and heat whereas the moon as an inert body reflecting only light.

It is not logically correct to say that scientific interpretations from Quran comes well after these are established by modern science because it is the Quran that came 14 centuries earlier and it remains same but the scientific knowledge became available only in the last few centuries and this in fact really points to the limitation of modern science like any other human tools that nobody could really understand the depth of scientific meaning that is available in the Quranic verses revealed some 14 centuries ago!

The Quran & Modern Science by Maurice Bucaille is an excellent read on this topic

Ha, nice ! Let's go:
First a question: Do you speak Arabic ? If 'yes' does Arabic distinguish between "heaven and sky" or is there only one word for both meanings - as it is the case for most languages ?
More to this Surat once you've replied.

Next one:
"See ye not how Allah hath created seven heavens in harmony, And hath made the moon a light therein, and made the sun a lamp?
Have you ever been to Saudi Arabia in Summertime? If 'yes' did you feel the effect of the sun during daytime and what the moon does to your skin at nighttime ? Does it really require supernatural knowledge to claim that one of the two shines brighter/heats whereas the other does not ?
Furthermore, look at this one http://history.stackexchange.com/questions/7890/who-discovered-first-that-the-moon-does-not-have-its-own-light
Admittedly I didn't check any further whether this link is reliable but knowing the Greeks I'd bet it is! And well -sorry for your claim- they did it almost a thousand years ahead of the Qur'an.

Last not least: How many Nobel prices have been won, based on knowledge distilled from the Qur'an ? I guess you know the answer.

Quranexplorer: "Quran is a miracle not only because of the scientific references it has"
No, you keep pretending the same thing in a more disguised form. I'm still missing the convincing scientific miracle.
I replied to one surat/example - but from your side no recognition of the greeks that found out long time before the Qur'an. No comment on my question about "heaven and sky" either.
Last not least: How can a book which states: "and We have revealed the Book to you explaining clearly everything (16:89)" or "These are the verses of the book that make things clear(26:2)" leave so much room for (mis-) interpretation ?
Very last not least: Could you give me the objective linguistic criteria (so no tautologic Qu'ran citation) which shows the linguistic superiority of the Qur'an to non-believers as well ?
