Promoting anti-science via textbooks - by PERVEZ HOODBHOY

[war&peace]

Does anybody know that right now, science itself is going through transition, the rate of discoveries is break neck, each and every theory and laws are being investigated. We all know ( I suppose) that how classical mechanics and Quantum mechanics contradict each other, string ( is a metaphysical concept because we won't be able to prove acc. to the scientists), the universe is expanding acc. to Edwin Hubble (except holy Quran told us more than 1400 years ago), now there is new evidence being investigated that suggests that speed of light was not always constant and that may trash or invalidate Einsteins theory of relativity at least at certain points of time in universe's history...a lot of is going on .. and Darwin theory is still not validated for all this claims. It remains a theory that serves to explain the evolution or variation across the species but very limited direct scientific evidence has been presented so far.

The meaning of word theory is very different from the word theory that we used in conversations. Theory and Laws both are equally scientifically proven and tested, the difference is Law describes how something would happen. On the other hand theory explains why and how it happens. Read a little before you make any claims.


your ancestors were not monkeys. You and monkeys just had a common ancestor.

no they aren't other wise there would be no need for two different words to begin with

dear madni jihadi

You crossed limit. you couldn't provide the source and now you start calling me names
Sir @Khafee please take care of this troll

Please read about it a little before continuing to make a fool of yourself. Search the word "scientific theory" search the differences between theory and law.

here comes another scientist of English language
so if its called theory does it means its proven as scientific fact??
by the way we are discussing proofs here not English grammer....

and the same Quran also tell that,
sun sets in a muddy pool of water,
earth is flat,
and is nailed to the back of a whale,
the reasons change because of hell breathing,
and no one knows why birds fly its a miracle of god,
milk of cow is produced in the belly,
human semen comes from the spinal cord,
there are only 7 planets
the distance of earth from moon and stars is same
and sadly the list goes on..
if Quran is your source of science, then no wonder our society is falling apart..
keep your faith out of the science book..

@Khafee now check this..

@Khafee now check this..

Give him time, he will hang himself. Don't worry.

No sir, He is misqouting Quran without any references so I have taken a snap of his post . His sorry existence must end here

@Khafee now check this..

well i could have given you reference
but its my first day
so take my word for it..
or go read an article on Wikipedia about
"level of support for evolution"...
hope it helps

clearly as you cannot put an effort to do your own research, I am posting the explanation of scientific theory as written in Wikipedia.

A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is acquired through the scientific method and repeatedly tested and confirmed, preferably using a written, pre-defined, protocol of observations and experiments.[1][2]Scientific theories are the most reliable, rigorous, and comprehensive form of scientific knowledge.[3]

It is important to note that the definition of a "scientific theory" (often ambiguously contracted to "theory" for the sake of brevity, including in this page) as used in the disciplines of science is significantly different from, and in contrast to, the common vernacular usage of the word "theory". As used in everyday non-scientific speech, "theory" implies that something is an unsubstantiated and speculative guess, conjecture, idea, or, hypothesis;[4] such a usage is the opposite of the word 'theory' in science.

Whatever might be in some book 1400 years old, how stupid Einsteins might be but we are still using their technology and science. Why are we not able to create things through Vedas or Quran. Even some ancient Hindu text says that universe is oscillating. It gives crores of years when it expands and then collapses. Such references to old texts are meaningless till we make any practical use of it.
Unani or ayurvedic texts are more useful.

Wikipedia is not an authority on anything. Anyone can post anything. IT would be best if you stopped quoting the Quran, of which you have no knowledge of.

dude..!!!
you need to study Quran more often
or at least in a language you understand
then you might not be asking me for references
but if you are sincere i can give you references..
that Quran and science are things apart..

You are misquoting Quran where are the references for the Holy Quranic verses you mentioned? .....you are creating multiple ids so that you can spew all the false stuff here without harming your main id...and i suspect that you are a troll from across the border... and this id and dp both are fake.

 

[Hell hound]

Lady you putting out scientific gibberish and then circumcising it
it do not go well with me, and this is a public forum.. Digest it or leave
i cant respect a man or a women who who is so irrationaly blind with faith

keep the discussion civil.
