<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (ReppinTheD @ Oct 26 2006, 11:47 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>For those who think you need to see something to believe in it, there are plenty of signs that there is a God. If the world around you, the nature, the complex way your body works isn't enough - there is STILL evidence that God exists. In the Qur'an, which was revealed thousands of years ago, there is science in it. As in explicit details to things that could have never been known or discovered at the time. Things that we are discovering today have been in the Qur'an forever. How about how a baby is made, in full detail. That means how sperm fertalizes the egg, how the zygote develops into a fetus, and how the fetus develops into an infant. Or, how about the Universe and how it is either expanding or contracting. How the hell would they know that - Quantum Physics thousands of years ago...Explanation of things that you simply would not be able to know back than...if that other evidene isn't enough for you, than that might prove something.I'll give you the exact links to the scientific chapters in the Qur'an if you want.</div>wow, never really thought about that, just strengthens by belief even more.
You would actually be surprised what the ancients knew. a lot ot technologies were lost in the "dark ages". There is some evidence that the Greeks and Romans knew about human reproduction to a scale that modern societies didn't know until the mid 20th century. The ancients also knew a lot more about astronomy than we here in the present give them credit for. the Egyptians knew so much about it that they lined the Pyramids up with the stars. These are people who didn't have light pollution so they could truly see the stars, and if you see something for generation after generation people begin to understand it more and more. sometimes you lose knowledge with technology.
