Quran Scientific Errors
"Scientific Errors in the Quran" is a thought-provoking book that critically examines the assertions made by some Muslim apologists regarding the scientific accuracy of the Quran. Through rigorous analysis, the author explores controversial verses that claim to align with modern science and juxtaposes them with established scientific facts. The book delves into topics such as cosmology, embryology, geology, and astronomy, shedding light on how ancient beliefs and cultural understandings may have influenced the Quranic text. With its detailed examination, the book challenges the assertion that the Quran contains divine scientific foreknowledge.

The book takes a methodical approach, addressing specific Quranic verses that describe natural phenomena. From the claim that the sun sets in a muddy spring (Surah 18:86) to the notion that humans are created from a "clinging clot" (Surah 96:2), the author demonstrates how these descriptions often conflict with modern scientific discoveries. Additionally, it critically evaluates claims that the Quran predicted the Big Bang theory or the Earth's spherical shape, arguing that such interpretations often stem from modern re-readings rather than the original meanings of the text. The book also highlights how many of these claims align more closely with ancient cosmological myths than scientific reality.

At its core, "Scientific Errors in the Quran" is not only a critique of the text but also a commentary on the methodology of interpreting scripture through the lens of modern science. The author emphasizes the need for intellectual honesty and cautions against forcing ancient texts to conform to contemporary scientific paradigms. This book serves as an important resource for those interested in religious studies, scientific inquiry, and the intersection of faith and reason. It invites readers to critically evaluate claims of divine revelation and encourages open dialogue about the relationship between religion and science.
