How about this:
10;101
Qulin zhuruu maadzaa fis samaawaati wal ardhi wa maa tughnil aayaatu wan nudzuru 'an qaumil laa yu'minun
Say: See what could be found in the sky and the earth. The signs and warns are useless for unbelievers.
So I agree, Quran isn't science book. Why? because Quran more than science book, this holy book order and support us for geting knowledge. And IF we don't get knowledge we could become disobedience to Allah, its mean kuffar. Quran know if people need to be push for geting knowledge. This is a beyond knowledge book.
two ayah at the bottom will show us that people who do not have knowledges are kuffars.
ayah:
96;5
Khalaqal insaana min 'alaq
Thaught man that which he knew not
This ayah show us if Allah will give knowledge to men. So human should take an education from Allah, Why? because Allah will teach us certainly, give us knowledges. will we deny this ayah?
If we don't know anything but still silent, so we become rebel against this ayah. this mean kuffar.
And this ayah: 21; 30
A walam yaral ladziina kafaruu annas samaawaati wal ardha kaanataa ratqan fa fataqnaahumaa wa ja'alnaa minal maa-i kulla syai-in hayyin a fa laa yu'minuun.
Do not unbelievers see that the heaven and earth were joined together (as one unit of creation), before We clove them asunder? We made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe?
This ayah say that unbelievers didn't see that the earth and heaven/sky were/was one creature. This ayah talk about unbelievers, and what about us? do we know that heaven and sky were/was one creature? could we explain how Allah clove them? because if we couldn't explain it we just the same as the kafirs men.
heaven and earth are really different things. But they were together as one thing.
this is a differentiation process. This is an evolution process.
Brother, I already agreed with the first part in my above post.
You quoted Surah 20:30. If your interpreting evolution generally as how the world came to be over time, than yes this verse does speak about it. People have said that this is relating to the Big Bang, the phenomena where the whole cosmos was "exploded" ( as being cleft asunder " into being. Also, it is true that we are created from water, we are , in fact 67% water. Now you were right to claim this is a scientific vese, because it is. Now the one you quoated earlier is when my post becomes relevant. As Kashmiri said, it's reffering to the resseruction of mankind. ( Thats what I thought too ) So why would anyone try to cram in another idea in it to make the book more "scientific". Don't think i'm just being picky about you, i've always seen people interpreting their own way. * Insert above post here *
The other brothers before my explain it real well.
Here, this is an example of a scientific Quranic verse.
"Modern Science has discovered that in the places where two different seas meet, there is a barrier between them. This barrier divides the two seas so that each sea has its own temperature, salinity, and density.
[Principles of Oceanography - Davis, pp. 92-93]
For example, Mediterranean Sea water is warm, saline and less dense, compared to Atlantic Ocean water. When Mediterranean Sea water enters the Atlantic over the Gibraltar sill, it moves several hundred kilometers into the Atlantic at a depth of about 1,000 meters with its own warm, saline and less dense characteristics.
The Mediterranean water stabilizes at this depth.
[Principles of Oceanography p. 93]
The Mediterranean Sea water as it enters the Atlantic over the Gibraltar sill with its own warm, saline and less dense characteristics, because of the barrier that distinguishes between them. Temperatures are in degrees Celsius (C).
Even in depths (indicated here by darker colors) up to 1,400 meters and at distances ranging from a minus -100 to +2,500 meters, we find that both bodies of water maintain their individual temperatures and salinity.
Although there are large waves, strong currents, and tides in these seas, they do not mix or transgress this barrier.
The Holy Quran mentioned that there is a barrier between two seas that meet and that they do not transgress. God said:
He has let free the two seas meeting to gather. There is a barrier between them. They do not transgress.
[Holy Quran 55:19-20]
But when the Quran speaks about the divider between fresh and salt water, it mentions the existence of "a forbidding partition" with the barrier.
God said in the Quran:
He is the one who has let free the two bodies of flowing water, one sweet and palatable, and the other salty and bitter. And He has made between them a barrier and a forbidding partition.
[Holy Quran 25:53]
On may ask, why did the Quran mention the partition when speaking about the divider between fresh and salt water, but did not mention it when speaking about the divider between the two seas?
Modern science has discovered that in estuaries, where fresh (sweet) and salt water meet, the situation is somewhat different from what is found in places where two seas meet. It has been discovered that what distinguishes fresh water from salt water in estuaries is a "pycnocline zone with a marked density discontinuity separating the two layers."
[Oceanography p. 242]
This partition (zone of separation) has a different salinity from the fresh water and from the salt water
[Oceanography p. 244 and Introductory Oceanography pp. 300-301]
This information has been discovered only recently using advanced equipment to measure temperature, salinity, density, oxygen dissolubility, etc. The human eye cannot see the difference between the two seas that meet, rather the two seas appear to us as one homogeneous sea. Likewise the human eye cannot see the division of water in estuaries into the three kinds: the fresh water, the salt water, the partition (zone of separation)."
