The Embryology in Bible vs. Quran

What Professor Keith L. Moore says about the Embryology in the Quran?

The Bible, in Ecclesiastes 11:1-7.

  • Offers three recommendations as a guide to man’s activity.
  • Presents Meteorological four facts.
  • Gives three scientific facts.

The Bible offers three recommendations as a guide to man’s activity; they are:

  1. Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days.
  2. Give a portion to seven, or even to eight, for you do not know what disaster may happen on earth.
  3. In the morning sow your seed, and at evening withhold not your hand, for you do not know which will prosper, this or that, or whether both alike will be good.

The Bible presents four Meteorological facts; they are:

  1. He who observes the wind will not sow, and
  2. He who regards the clouds will not reap.
  3. If the clouds are full of rain, they empty themselves on the earth,
  4. And if a tree falls to the south or to the north, in the place where the tree falls, there it will lie.

The Bible gives three other scientific facts; they are:

  1. You do not know the path of the wind,
  2. You do not know how the embryo’s body and bones are formed in a mother’s womb
  3. It is good for the eyes to look at the sun.

On the other hand, it should be emphasized that NONE of these three recommendations, NONE of these four Meteorological facts and NONE of these three other scientific facts are mentioned therein in the entire Quran.

————————————————————————–

The comments about the three scientific facts

1) The Bible denies Meteorology

The Bible says that man does not know the path of the wind.

However, Meteorology is the interdisciplinary scientific study of the atmosphere that focuses on weather processes and forecasting including the path and speed of the wind.

2) The Bible denies Embryology

The Bible says that man does not know how the embryo’s body and bones are formed in a mother’s womb.

Embryology is a science which is about the development of an embryo and the formation of an embryo’s organs in a mother’s womb.

3) Does the Bible aimed to blind us?

The Bible says that it is good for the eyes to look at the sun.

The scientists say that if you look at the sun, you will go blind; Looking at the Sun causes blindness.

Never ever look at the Sun, even during an eclipse or at sunrise or sunset; even a couple of seconds is dangerous and could cause long-term damage to your eyes

Herein is the golden rule:

Never, ever look directly at the Sun — even during an eclipse or at sunrise or sunset. The Sun emits dangerous UV radiation that can permanently damage your eyes and even cause total blindness. This can happen in a matter of seconds.

Foe this reason, no smart one can believe that the Almighty Creator would say the above three facts that contradict with the science.  God is the father of the sciences, then how come He would have said that.

————————————————————————–

On the other hand, the Quran talks about the role of the wind in our life, the importance of the eye and never ever recommends us to look at the sun.

Also, the Quran talks comprehensively about the Embryology and the development of the embryo’s bones. The Embryology in the Quran needs more than seven articles to talk about.  However, I will let Professor Keith L. Moore to give a quick look about the Embryology in the Quran.

Who is Keith L. Moore?

Professor Emeritus, Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology, University of Toronto, Distinguished embryologist and the author of several medical textbooks,

Dr. Moore was a former President of the Canadian Association of Anatomists, and of the American Association of Clinical Anatomists.  Dr. Moore was honored by the Canadian Association of Anatomists with the prestigious J.C.B. Grant Award and in 1994 he received the Honored Member Award of the American Association of Clinical Anatomists “for outstanding contributions to the field of clinical anatomy.”

What Professor Keith L. Moore says about the Embryology in the Quran?

 “At first I was astonished by the accuracy of the statements that were recorded in the 7th century AD, before the science of embryology was established. It is clear to me that these statements must have come to Muhammad from God, or Allah, because most of this knowledge was not discovered until many centuries later. This proves to me that Muhammad must have been a messenger of God, or Allah.”

The Bible, Ecclesiastes 11:1-7

American Standard Version

1 Cast thy bread upon the waters; for thou shalt find it after many days.

2 Give a portion to seven, yea, even unto eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth.

3 If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth; and if a tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there shall it be.

4 He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap.

5 As thou knowest not what is the way of the wind, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child; even so thou knowest not the work of God who doeth all.

6 In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thy hand; for thou knowest not which shall prosper, whether this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.

7 Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun.

In Bible vs. Quran, Jesus denied that He is God? (1)

Jesus said to him: “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God …
————————–

In the Quran, Did Jesus deny that he is God?

Yes He did.

——————————- 

In the Bible, Mark 10:17-18 says:

Jesus was coming out to the road,

A man came running, knelt before Him, and asked Him,

Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?”

Jesus said to him:

Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone

——————————- 

Now, who believe in this verse?

1-      The Jews? No, they do not believe in Jesus; so, they do not believe in his sayings.

2-      The Christians? No. they do believe that Jesus is God, although Jesus denied that He is not the good one; and No one is good except God alone

3-      The Muslims? Yes, they do believe as the Quran says that Jesus is a great Prophet and there is no god(s) but One, the Almighty Creator.

——————————-

 No one is good except God alone” was Jesus’ answer in reference to the original Greek verse.

Now, let us see Jesus’ answer in 23 different versions of the Bible:

No one is good except God alone” is found in seven Bible’s versions

In the other Biblical versions, Jesus answered

Only God is good in three versions

There is none good but one, that is, God in two versions   

No one is good but One, that is, God in two versions

The following Jesus’ answer is found in one version each; it is:

No one [is] good except One – God

None is good save one, even God

No one is good but OneGod

No one is good except God

No one is good, only God

Only God is truly good

There is no one [essentially and perfectly morally] good–except God alone

There is no man good, but God himself.

——————————- 

 

Mark 10:17-18 in New King James Version; that is the most correct translation of the original Greek verse.

17 Now as He was going out on the road, one came running, knelt before Him, and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?”

18 So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God.

——————————- 

 

Now, read Mark 10:17-18 in some other versions of the Bible to see how they add some other words that are not present in the original Greek verse.

[Look at the underlined words].

Amplified Bible

17And as He was setting out on His journey, a man ran up and knelt before Him and asked Him, Teacher, [You are essentially and perfectly morally] good, what must I do to inherit eternal life [that is, to partake of eternal salvation in the Messiah’s kingdom]?

18And Jesus said to him, why do you call Me [essentially and perfectly morally] good? There is no one [essentially and perfectly morally] good–except God alone.

 

Wycliffe New Testament

17 And when Jesus was gone out into the way, a man ran before, and kneeled before him, and prayed him, and said, Good master, what shall I do, that I receive everlasting life?

18 And Jesus said to him, what sayest thou, that I am good? There is no man good, but God himself.

 

New Living Translation

17 As Jesus was starting out on his way to Jerusalem, a man came running up to him, knelt down, and asked, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

18 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus asked. “Only God is truly good.

===============

Now, we have two big issues or two important claims:

1)      The Biblical scholars claim that the Quran is quoted from the Bible.

2)      The Quran claims that the Bible is corrupted.

What do you believe?

The Flies in Bible vs. Quran-1

The Professor Thought The Bible’s Answer Deserves Full Marks, But…

Hypothetical approach

A professor was preparing his two students, “B” and “Q”, to be eminent teachers of ethics and morality. The professor would like to examine his two students.

The professor put this question for them:

“You are going to be a famous teacher, thus, ‘Give a brief account on the Flies’, with emphasis on the ethical and morality values in your teaching that are important to mankind.’

Student B answered this question in,

§  25 Minutes

§  283 Words    

§  1,173 Characters (with no spaces)

§  1,456 Characters (with spaces)

§  Eight Paragraphs

§  23 Lines

 

Student Q answered this question in,

§  Five Minutes

§  56 Words

§  231 Characters (with no spaces)

§  287 Characters (with spaces)

§  One Paragraph

§  Five Lines

 

The professor thought that student “B” is smarter than student “Q”.

B stands for the Bible

Q stands for the Quran

 

The professor said that “B” had five times more chances than student “Q”. to give more fruitful answer.

Student “B” was five times chances in comparison to student Q, time wise, paragraphs wise, words wise, characters wise and lines wise to give more productive answer.  For this reason, before he reads the two answers of both “B” and “Q”, the professor had a predetermined thought that “B” answer deserves full marks and “Q” answer deserves nothing; nevertheless, upon reading the two answers, the smart fair professor…

 

———————————

In this Hypothetical approach,

You smart reader is the fair professor.

Student B is the Bible, American Standard Version.

Student Q is the Quran, Pickthal translation.

The question again:

“You are going to be a famous teacher, hence, ‘Give a brief account on the Flies’, with emphasis on the ethical and morality values in your teaching that are important to mankind.’

 

————————————-

The Bible answered the question in eight verses.

Ecclesiastes 10:1

1 Dead Flies cause the oil of the perfumer to send forth an evil odor; so doth a little folly outweigh wisdom and honor.

Isaiah 7:18

18 And it shall come to pass in that day, that Jehovah will hiss for the fly that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.

Exodus 8:21

21 Else, if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of Flies upon thee, and upon they servants, and upon thy people, and into thy houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of Flies, and also the ground whereon they are.

Exodus 8:22

22 And I will set apart in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of Flies shall be there; to the end thou mayest know that I am Jehovah in the midst of the earth.

Exodus 8:24

24 And Jehovah did so; and there came grievous swarms of Flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants’ houses: and in all the land of Egypt the land was corrupted by reason of the swarms of Flies.

Exodus 8:29

29 And Moses said, Behold, I go out from thee, and I will entreat Jehovah that the swarms of Flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, to-morrow: only let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to Jehovah.

Exodus 8:31

31 And Jehovah did according to the word of Moses; and he removed the swarms of Flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; there remained not one.

Psalm 105:31

31 He spake, and there came swarms of Flies, and lice in all their borders.

 

———————————

The Quran answered the question in one verse.

Verse 22:73

O mankind! A similitude is coined, so pay ye heed to it: lo! Those on whom ye call beside Allah will never create a fly though they combine together for the purpose. And if the fly took something from them, they could not rescue it from it. So weak are (both) the seeker and the sought!

———————————

The result of the exam,

Upon reading the two answers,

You smart reader is the fair professor who will give the marks.

———————————

Back to my question to the smart and interested reader:

Are the Biblical Scholars truthful when they claim that the Quran quoted from the Bible?

Surah 31 of the Quran (1) Introduction

Introduction

In this Surah, the Quran addresses human nature with its own logic.

Allah who revealed the Quran is the One who created human nature.

Allah knows what suits human nature and brings the best out of it.

He also knows how to address it and what affects its inner thoughts and feelings.

 

The Quran explains to human nature the truth that is deeply ingrained in it,

The Quran explains to human nature the fact that is deeply-rooted in it,

The Quran explains to human nature the truth that is deeply embedded in it,

Such truth is built in inside every human nature which it knew long before it was addressed by the Quran, because it was initially created with it.

This is the truth of acknowledging the Creator, the One, the Supreme, and offering worship to Him alone.

 

Similarly, every creature in the entire universe glorifies and praises Him at all times.

The problem is that certain aspects of life on earth, some physical impulses, desires, whims and cravings may cloud human nature’s vision or force its deviation from the right path.

That is why; the Quran addresses our nature with the logic it knows, presenting to it the truth that it has overlooked.

In this way, the Quran structures human nature on the basis of its right code for living, leading it to earn the pleasure of Allah, the Supreme Creator who controls everything.

 

Surah 31 provides an example of how the Quran addresses the human hearts.

It tackles the question of faith among the idolaters who had deviated from the truth.

The faith is indeed the leading issue of Surah 31

The Quran tackles this important issue in a variety of ways and from different angles.

That the Quran uses such different means is an essential part of its method to keep our hearts on the alert.

 

The central issue of faith focuses in Surah 31 on the Creator’s oneness.

Surah 31 demonstrates how we:

1)    Should address worship to Him alone,

2)    Express gratitude for His blessings,

3)    Establish firm belief in the hereafter and what this involves of careful reckoning and just reward. The hereafter or the Afterlife is but one of two either hell or Paradise.

Therefore, Believers should also follow what Allah has revealed and abandon all notions that are at inconsistency with this.

Surah 31 presents this whole issue in a way that invites reflection on the astonishing approach of the Quran. It addresses our natures and our hearts.

All who advocate faith should study this Quranic approach carefully.
