Magicians all claim things and to most, the claims appear to be true. However, there is no scientific evidence to support the claim the David Copperfield can actually make a Learjet mystically disappear, for instance. It is simply sleight-of-hand, smoke and mirrors, snowjob, etc. in spite of however many people swear up and down; left, right, and center; inside and out they really saw a Learjet disappear because of David Copperfield mumbling "abracadabra" and waving his phalanges around (or whatever his antics were).
The vast majority of incidents where the myths of religions claim something and science is applied to said claims, the evidence supports science, as Dex mentioned earlier.
Granting for the sake of argument that god exists at all (which I don't believe), if the material that you've presented at CC so far is supposed to be evidence in support of your claims that the Quran confirms true science and includes information that is superior to what science currently knows, you should know this:God's knowledge is absolute and infinite; it is He Who created the moon and the entire universe, as is it He Who revealed the Quran, the Torah and the Gospel. The Quran, being the most recent of these heavenly books, includes a tremendous knowledge concerning the universe that confirms the true science, and some that is superior to the present knowledge.

I'm retired now, after a 35+ year career that involved me deeply in science and technology, and I have relevant post-graduate degrees, so I think I can credibly claim to know what I'm talking about. Everything that you have claimed about science so far is demonstrably false. You are wrong, your sources are wrong, your web site is wrong, you have no comprehension of what you're talking about, because you base it all on a 1500 year old religious text written by people who had no comprehension of modern science, critical thinking, or the rules of evidence. Your views are ignorant and foolish and wrong.
I agree completely, the people who built places like Stonehenge and the pyramids and Machu Pichu certainly knew a few things, but that's more rule of thumb engineering than science. The ancient Greeks and Romans were pretty good engineers too, but they weren't experimenters. Islamic culture came close to discovering modern science too, at the height of its imperial power a few centuries ago, and most of the names we still use for stars came from that. But science as a systematic method of thinking about and exploring the world and testing it to find out how it works is really only a few centuries old. Sir Isaac Newton bridges the divide between the old magical, mystical ways of thinking and the new experimental and analytical paradigm. He was, arguably, simultaneously the last of the magicians--he spent much of his life pursuing alchemy--and the first real scientist in the modern sense.Dexter, I'm not at all convinced that in the remote past there wasn't a grasp of science on a level exceeding that understood by the authors of our various ancient texts.

This skull is from Cahuachi Peru ruins 350 acres of. Some of the human fossils have been found in very old strata, and some of the fossils date from strata of the tertiary period
Well, there's the root of your problem clearly on display: you think those two paragraphs are a logical argument. They're not, they make no sense at all.I have to say then that your dealing with this subject is not scientific; it does not pertain to science; your saying is wrong, and your opinion is false because you have based it on atheism to which you stick incessantly.
Is this the right way of replying that I say I am retired; I also am retired; you have to know that the science to which you pertain is not confined to some group or person rather than others. You cannot say I am graduated and retired; therefore my words are true and yours are false.
You've started five threads purporting to be about scientific matters, four of which you put in the Science & Environment forum, and one in Spirituality & Philosophy where they really all belong. If you'd put them all there I'd have left you alone after a brief exchange, but if you're going to present them as real science I'm going to call you out on them.

I have to echo Dexter's comments here...
The Quran is not a book of science. The Quran is not superior to any real science discipline because, from what I've read, the Quran has no real science at all. In fact, I find it hard to believe that any reasonably educated person could spout the drivel you are spouting.It is better that you have your own voice rather than to echo others.
However, it does not make any difference in case you are an engineer and our friend Dex is qualified in science and I am your brother a general practitioner in medicine.
The man whose book I have translated was almost illiterate: in the sense that he knew only to read and write Arabic; but was an inspired interpreter of the Quran and the Bible. The Quran is superior to all science disciplines.
