science leads to islam (scientific miracles in qura'an)

there are a lot of things that Allah told as in holy quraan more than one thousand years ago are being supported by the scientific researches in our current days !.
those scientific facts have been descovered recently by the scientist while there were exposed in holy quraan more than one thousand years ago .




This is an extract from Dr. Gronier, a French MP, who embraced Islam. Revealing the reason of embracing Islam he said, I read all of the Ayat (Quranic verses), which have a relation to medical, health, and natural sciences that I studied before and have a wide knowledge of. I found that these verses are totally compatible with and give a picture of our modern sciences. Thus, I embraced Islam as it was obvious that Muhammad revealed the Absolute Truth more than a thousand years ago. Had every specialist, artist or scientist compared those Quranic verses to his own specialization, beyond the shadow of doubt he would embrace Islam, especially if he has a sound mentality and goodwill to search for the truth and not a mentally defective person with the intentions of malevolent aims.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

during this thread I am going to explain some of the scientific miracles in qura'an and islam .

When the mind does not have the technical means and the wherewithal to know the secrets of the fetus from the outset, the development of theories of the origins of the fetus as follows : ​

1-None of the fetus through self-generating coincidence. ​

2-embryo arise from the seeds emerge from the men and photo mini and full of the child and wife only place in which to grow (in the sense of growing in size)

3-embryo created from the mother and only the liquid yeast serve as a catalyst only.

When the microscope was discovered and developed technical means scientists knew that the previous theories of the fetus is not unfounded. In the nineteenth century and beyond known phases of the real Jenin as follows :
- Will be a fetus at the sperm note (sperm) ​

​

It carries half of the embryo traits with sperm feminized (egg), carrying the other half of the qualities and arise as a result of this European organization hearts is the first cell, which contains the characteristics of the fetus are called (Alzejot). ​

These gametes cell embryo consists of a post in turns to the composition of the divisions increasing numbers of similar cells in the process of moving towards free movement uterine cavity and when it acquires feature entanglement and here begins the next stage : ​

B-stage Alkh : ​

And where the fetus Brahma and begin the process of distinction to three layers of flat to start the stage after the embryo. ​

C-stage embryo : ​

At this stage appear on the fetus heights and depressions similar to that piece of meat or chewing Almamadog It is called being physical objects, which are differentiated to the bones and muscles and so on. ​

D-stage appearance of skeletal muscle and Ksah : ​

At this stage begin to emerge from the bone and muscular after two contiguous Tksoa muscle structure and Great Britain after 120 days of the figure shows the human face of the child.

· The scientific discovery talk to the embryo stages of a real evidence of the sincerity of the Koran and Aejazh ratified the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him and the universality of Islam .

It summed up the Koran in the scientific miracles of impressive stages of the embryo to the creation of sperm in any other one, as follows :
Says right in the Sura of believers ​

​

)

Then created sperm suspended Vkhlqana Alkh chew Vkhlqana embryo bones Vksona bone meat then we invented another gives its blessings God created the best Khalkin ​

(

According to this verse in the miracles of the following facts ​

1-embryo is not fully from the outset, but will start in a simple increase in the complexity phase after phase after phase of the process. ​

Two-stage after the first sperm Alkh because it resembles a worm, such as medical and Alk it acquired trait hung up after it was diameter free movement.

The following three-phase resembles a piece of meat Almamadog Tgdhanat emergence in the early embryonic differentiation.

4-show beginnings of bone and meat, and determined the structure of Britain held BUILDING.
5-structure is low meat (muscle).
6-shaped eventually form human characteristic.
And because these facts were not known until after the fall of the Koran more than a thousand years, its presence in the Holy certainty is proof of the sincerity and universal message and the messenger ratified This prompted one of the greatest scientists embryos in the world, said : "I certify that this talk (on embryos), which the Koran must have descended on Muhammad from God" and the yoke k in the Canadian television and when faced with the following question : What do you say to that?
He replied : because this information on the stages of the embryo was known by scientists only after more than a thousand years of the famed Koran must be this information from God. ​

This was the world of Galilee is

A. D / Eartha Kitt Elmore ​

One of the largest embryos scientists in the world

Not only thinking scientists know the steps and stages of the embryo, but noted the phenomenon is baffling : How could one of the cell to give different and distinct cells?
In other words : When and how cellular differentiation occurs? ​

The scientists knew that the stage sperm gametes have a beginning and an end. ​

​

​

:

The end ​

:

How turned sperm cells similar to the three types of differentiated cells in an organism Alkh? ​

How differentiated Alkh three layers, with flat surfaces to anybody Cockled it protrusions and bending and bordered on two sides held juts from being identified in the embryo? ​

From then on those which juts into the bones and muscles? ​

In other words : Where was this differentiation and origin as a single homogeneous? ​

Where do they come from these orders? ​

The scientific answer to that : there are only three possible routes comes from such orders are : ​

2-







3-

First : Research on the nucleus : ​

:

Third : compensation ​

:

The first question in this area is, how the process of compensation? ​

) .

This apparently, but at the cellular What is the process of compensation? ​

But the problem remained an important quality of the cells used for compensation, Is differentiated from the local species, which are situated on the edge of the pieces Kalidhlat and bones, or are other sleeper cells undifferentiated? ​

Breast full ... Between science and the Koran ​

​

​

By Islamic scholar Abdel Permanent Alekhail ​

​

Scientists recently found that the food is full of the child from his mother's milk, and that food is only completed if Aradat her mother two full years! This is what came out by the World Health Organization in the twenty-first century, what the book says God fourteen centuries ago? To read. ​

The doctors think that breastfeeding earn child closely with the nation psychologically, but it is not there any other benefits, but after conducting research for over half a century began showing significant benefits of breastfeeding for this, but scientists every day reveal new benefits to mother's milk. The so-called immune objects ​

Immunoglobulins​

First discovered in the mother's milk. It objects to counter the different kinds of bacteria and viruses. But scientists found that the quantity of bacteria in From the child who thrives on cow's milk with ten times greater than those in From the child who suckle from a nation [1]. ​

The benefits of breast-feeding ​

Breastfeeding is the best food for all kinds of children, and all kinds of other food differ significantly from the mother's milk. this milk that protects the child from many diseases (and speak for the American Academy of Pediatrics) [2]. ​

The mother's milk contains natural always proportions of protein, fat and sugars, these percentages are difficult to control in cow's milk and others. The mother's milk always come temperature correct and appropriate for the child. ​

The benefits of the child ​

Objects that immune - ​

Immunoglobulins​

Help the child during the first months of his body on the protection of recurrent bacterial attack against it, but also assisted in the formation of immune machinery sector and strengthened. And some studies suggest that the immune system to the child grows more rapidly when feeds on mother's milk. ​

- Mother's milk also contains substances called immuno​

​

Mucins



​

These materials contain a lot of protein and carbohydrates and these materials adhere bacteriological and viruses and remove them from the body of a child once and for all without any side-effects, unlike chemical drugs​

[9].

- That the protein found in cow's milk for example, the equivalent of twice the amount found in mother's milk, Therefore, the child can not absorb this quantity of beef protein, Vichtsenha in the body, leading to future diseases of obesity. While we find that the child absorbs protein found in breast milk of 100%. Studies have also shown that the time required to digest the protein in the mother's milk before the child is 15 minutes, while the process itself with a milk cow more than 60 minutes. Then there are savings in time and effort [1]. ​

All of the doctors confirmed that mother's milk is completely free of bacteria and it is better for a child of any industrial milk. Doctors have noted that children who drink milk industrial Balzjajeh often subjected to various injuries, even if such sterile bottle! ​

- As mother's milk helps children to develop using digestive properly. Since a cow's milk exciting From the [9]. ​

- That mother's milk gives the child psychological stability and helped him sleep and calm. It works best natural home for the child! [3]. ​

- That mother's milk protects the child from the disease sensitivity is parked his development of this disease. ​

- The risks of feeding milk or cow example, it increases the possibility of cancer eight times [4]. ​

Breastfeeding ​

Takei children from many diseases, especially respiratory disease asthma. ​

Breastfeeding Taqi children from diseases and authorization Althabatha repeated. ​

Breastfeeding Taki-child HIV sudden death ​

(SIDS) ​

. ​

Breastfeeding Taqi child from meningitis. ​

Breastfeeding Taqi child cancers during the first six months. ​

Breastfeeding Taqi child from osteoporosis. Prevents injuries, protects the stomach lesions. ​

The benefits of L ​

- The studies were conducted in 30 countries showed that the mother feed her milk or chest to be less vulnerable to breast cancer [5]. ​

- That 20 times the uterus expands during pregnancy and childbirth, Studies have shown that breast-feeding helps the uterus return to the borders of natural, unlike the mother does not feed her child, the size of the uterus is then more natural boundaries. The mother breastfeeding protects against cervical cancer [9]. ​

The breastfeeding mother to help reduce weight and infection of obesity [6]. So that breastfeeding is a natural sedative to the mother too! That breastfeeding helps the mother to sleep, and helps the child to sleep also [9]. ​

The benefits to society ​

- Breastfeeding inexpensive unlike breast industrial, Perhaps astonished if we know that the American Academy of Pediatrics confirms that the United States if the United States adopted the practice of breastfeeding, it will all 3600 million dollars! [7]. ​

- That breastfeeding positively reflected on the environment too! This is because the provision of pollution resulting from the manufacturing processes milk bottles and drying cow's milk, The waste resulting from the consumption of milk and the bottles [8]. ​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

As a result, cow's milk is the best food "for children from disease," and humanitarian milk is the best food for the children of people, So God created each kind of food and said : ( ​

The ability to create everything estimate ​

) [2] : encampments. ​

All these blessings God-given rights, you hint small child and you did not know nothing of this life, do you remember the blessing of God, Perhaps aware of the meaning of the Quranic verse here : ( ​

And over the blessing of God does not Thossoha that the rights of Kfar Zloum ​

) [34] : Ibrahim.​

​

No matter how many people we are really a blessing of God will not Nhossiha. ​

What is the ideal time for breast-feeding? ​

Has the World Health Organization and UNICEF, many of the research on infants, and quit the outcome of their research that term is two perfect! Because the child during the first two years of age in dire need to be sterilized milk, such as mother's milk. Because using Immune could not cope with any potential disease before two years of age. ​

Scientists have discovered that the mother's milk contains substances immunological anti-bacterial, bearing in mind that the fetus in the mother's womb objects derived from the immunity for the duration of the pregnancy, When they come this embryo is surrounded by many factors nurse, and therefore need to find additional immunity only in mother's milk, Glory to God who created him this natural source of protection. ​

The World Health Organization held a conference with the title " ​

Complementary feeding​

" In 2001 came its outcome [11]. ​

The first two years of a child's life are a critical window during which the foundations for healthy growth and development are built. Infant and young child feeding is a core dimension of care in this period. ​

The first two years of a child's life are critical window which to build Altasisat for growth and healthy development. To feed the child after the baby is essential for attention during this period. ​

The outcome of the conference also that the duration of breastfeeding is the ideal two, because the child during these years is in dire need of objects using immune to develop immune, These objects are found only in mother's milk. ​

Therefore, the doctors confirmed that all types of food can not be sufficient for a child alone during the first two years of a child's life. Because the child exposed to many factors and diseases that afflict leaving many diseases, and when he reaches the age of two years, the same factors - influential as before, therefore Omar Omar biennium is awkward and sensitive child should rely on mother's milk which to avert these dangers. ​

Scientists say today​

​

[12]: ​

After a child reaches two years of age, it is very difficult to reverse stunting that has occurred earlier ​

After the child reaches two years of age it is very difficult to reflect the bottleneck factor of growth and that was possible to obtain before this period. ​

As recent research has shown that breastfeeding for 24 months protects the mother from ovarian cancer risk by a third [13]. ​

As a result there is confirmation from the doctors about the importance of breast-feeding mother to her two full years, what the Holy Koran says about this? ​

Breastfeeding in the Holy Quran ​

My brother hopes reader tell the truth, the Almighty bless : ( ​

Breast-feeding mothers and their children is evident full wanted to be breast) [Cow : 233].​

​

It is a call to God, full of compassion required of every mother to feed their children, and the mercy of them have identified their ideal duration of breastfeeding is Holan contain. ​

The appeal included three divine decent medical miracles : ​

1-in the words of God

(In the case of breast-feeding their children) :​

​

This is God every mother to feed her children from cows, in the last resort to food, This appeal is heard frequently today in the United States of America, from the World Health Organization and UNICEF, because of the great benefits that scientists discovered in the mother's milk. We can only conclude that the appeal divine earlier appeal by four human tenth century! ​

2-in the words of God

(Evident full) :​

​

Precise identification of the necessary duration of breast-feeding the child's normal Bhulin full, Today, doctors say that the ideal duration of breastfeeding is two. Hopes me speech (full), to see where confirmation from God on the need to complete the two and not to relent in this period. If we looked at the doctors say in the twenty-first century is how we find them and resolutely assert the necessity of breast feeding the child a nation of two full years (24 months). ​

A wonderful that breast is done only after two years of life. We have seen how scientists discovered that these two are the most important of a child's life, where this period is a critical stage in which the immune system consists of the child, Many of the diseases affecting children during those two years, Therefore, they stress the importance of the nursing mother and full year would be better to breastfeeding to two years! ​

And Praised be God! God has provided us the trouble of research and study, experiments and tests, and gave us the appropriate period directly, and hopes to me Quranic verse

(Evident full)​

​

To emphasize the need to complete the biennium, and this is confirmed by American scientists today. ​

(1) spherical Earth in the Koran : ​

The son said firmly : "They said that evidence was true that the earth was spherical and public says otherwise, and the answer God Almighty conciliation : that none of the imams of Muslims eligible for the name of science ruler, God bless them, had not denied that boosting the land, and to preserve one of them in a word, but evidence of the Koran and the Sunnah has come Petkoirha Almighty said : ​

Man, that is a lot of science. Baffling in a good way. Couldn't say how accurate much of it is but your meticulous attention to detail was impressive. I'm sure Richard Dawkins would have a hysterical hissy fit if he read all that, mentioning God in the same breath as science and all.

I had heard Yemen has some wonderful scientific establishments, labs and universities and such. It's nice to see they got some brainy students to go with them.

didnt we go over this already?

thank u pal

In my experience, people with a true claim pick one undenyable example and examine it in detail.

People with a false claim, blitz a string of semi-related examples and then move on so as to sew confusion.

And yes, we've been over this. If there's a muslim who would like to post his own thoughts, I'd love to discuss it. Until then, I can duel with websites too:

Creation of Earth

Modern scholars have criticized the bible for it's claim that the Earth was created in six days. This has been waved off as just another myth concocted by an ancient people to explain how the world was created. The Qur'an has made the same mistake regarding the amount of time needed to create the earth, as is seen in the following verse:
And verily We created the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, in six Days, and naught of weariness touched Us. (Qur'an 50:38)
It is a known fact that Muhammad had contact with Jews and Christians, and much of the Qur'an is modeled after the Bible. While the Qur'an does not have the bible's claim that "on the seventh day God rested" (Genesis 2:2) it still proclaims the earth to be created in six days.
Muslims who seek to cast the Qur'an as being compatible with modern science, point out that the Qur'an also says that a day for Allah and the angels is similar to 50,000 years (Qur'an 70:4). In citing this verse, Muslims try to say the Earth was completed in 300,000 ( 6 x 50,000 ) years. While it is a nice try, the reality is this still does not agree with modern science, which states that it took several billion years for the Earth to reach this stage. Billions of years passed before there were trees, or forests, or animals.
Furthermore, such claims open the Qur'an to more criticism. The verse that allegedly says a day equals 50,000 years (Qur'an 70:4) states:
"The angels ascend to Him in a day, the measure of which is fifty thousand years." This verse actually seems to be discussing the speed of travel for angels. Possibly it is saying that the angels can travel in a day, the amount of space it would take others 50,000 years to cover. My goal is not to offer alternative interpretations to this myth. However, I dispute the claim that the this verse is saying a day equals 50,000 years because such a thing contradicts other parts of the Qur'an!
A day cannot equal 50,000 years because according to the Qur'an, a day equals 1,000 human years (Qur'an 22:47 & 32:5). Furthermore, to claim that it took Allah 300,000 years to create the Earth is to insult the God of Islam, as when he creates, he says "Be!" and it is (Qur'an 2:117).
The Qur'an on Embryology

In 1982 Keith Moore, an anatomy professor at the University of Toronto, produced a textbook titled "The Developing Human, 3rd edition". In this book Moore states his astonishment at the way embryonic development is depicted in the Qur'an. Moore would go on to produce fourth and fifth editions of his textbook, as well as another book titled "Human Development as described in the Quran and Sunnah", all of which many Muslims cite with great pleasure. Moore and his Muslim supporters are referring to the following verse:
We placed him as sperm in a place of rest, firmly fixed; Then We made the sperm into a clot of blood; then of that blood clot We made a lump; then we made out of that lump bones and clothed the bones with flesh; then we developed out of it another creature. So blessed be God, the best to create! (Quran 23:13-14)
Indeed, at first glance, this seems like a remarkable statement for a "7th century desert Arab" to make. However, upon closer study, one realizes that there is both explanation and error to this verse. First we must ask if this was an original theory, and second we must ask if it is correct.
Many people are amazed by the mention of sperm in this verse. This is nothing special. Since the beginning of time man has been aware of the "seed" that is released from the penis during sexual intercourse. The Bible, a text much older than the Qur'an, tells a story of a man who was struck down by God for "spilling his seed on the ground" (Genesis 38:9-10).
The entire study of human life as mentioned in the Qur'an is not original at all. While Muslims try to claim that Muhammad made these statements before scientists discovered them, they are wrong. Theories of the formation of a child inside the womb was put forth by Aristotle nearly 1,000 years before the Qur'an was written. In fact Aristotle correctly described the function of the umbilical cord, something not mentioned in the Qur'an, showing that earlier philosophers were aware of such things mentioned by Muhammad and more. Every mention of human development in the Qur'an is similar to Roman and Greek theories. Consider the following verse referring to sperm:
He is created from a drop (of sperm) emitted-- Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs. (Qur'an 86:6-7)
Clearly this verse is incorrect, and clearly it has origins in earlier theories. First of all, for sperm to originate between the back and the ribs would mean that it comes from the kidneys! We now know that semen is produced in the testicles, but people in Muhammad's time did not know this. Eleven centuries before Muhammad, the Greek physician Hippocrates theorized that sperm passed through the kidneys into the penis. For centuries this was an accepted (and incorrect) belief of the origins of sperm.
There are those who claim Muhammad had no contact with Greeks or Romans. Pre-Islamic Arabia definitely had contact with Byzantium, Syria, Egypt, Persia, and Babylon. There were many Jews and Christians living in the area, and they were familiar with Greek or Roman philosophy. The Christians were connected to Rome. The Jews were connected to Babylon and Persia. It is easy to see how such theories regarding embryonic development may have reached Muhammad.
Finally, to touch back on the verses that spoke of the development of an unborn child, I will say they too are incorrect. The Qur'an stated that the blood clot was turned to bone and then God "clothed the bones with flesh" (Quran 23:13-14). It is scientific fact that living tissue forms first, and then bones grow at a later time, and continue to gain strength (by building calcium) for many years after birth. Therefore, this is one of many scientific inaccuracies in the Qur'an.

Scientific Absurdities in the Qur'an and Hadith

There are numerous myths and scientific errors within the text of the Qur'an, and the Hadiths. Muslims accept many scientific absurdities with blind devotion. The world has matured as a whole, and has shed many of the fears and superstitions held by primitive cultures of the past. Unfortunately, because the text of the Qur'an is revered, people do not question many superstitious concepts that Muslims should have outgrown long ago.
To begin, I would like to give an example of a myth from Hindu culture. According to Hindu tradition, the god Siva would leave his wife home alone for long periods of time. One day she took skin from her own body, and used it to create a child. The child was used to protect her, and the house. When Siva returned, the child refused to let him enter the house. Without hesitation Siva drew his sword and decapitated the child. Siva's wife was quite angry, and to make up for what he did, Siva went out and cut off the head of an elephant, and placed it on the child's body. This is why the Hindu deity Ganesh has the body of a human, but the head of an elephant.
Now that I have told this story, will any Muslim believe it? Of course not. It is an absurd myth. There is no need to debate this issue, it is obvious that this is not true. It is a myth created by a primitive culture. If it is easy to see that this is a myth, why is it so difficult for Muslims to see the myths within their own text? I will now give a run down of some of the scientific errors in the Qur'an.
The Qur'an has a story of a woman who has never had sexual intercourse (a virgin) that becomes pregnant and gives birth (Qur'an 19:16-21). This is a myth deeply rooted in many cultures. Muslims are used to debating with Christians, so they are never told that virgin birth is impossible, as this is a doctrine of Christianity as well. The reality is, this is a scientific absurdity.
The Qur'an tells us that this same child who was born of a virgin mother is able to speak in complete sentences at only a day old (Qur'an 19:29-33)! While Muslims and Christians are debating the scientific knowledge written in the pages of the Qur'an, a rational thinker can clearly see that this idea of the talking baby, born of a virgin mother, is absurd. It was a myth adopted by Muhammad, and inserted into the text of the Qur'an.
For further scientific absurdities consider the following Hadith:
Sahih Muslim, Book 40, Number 6985:

Narrated AbuHurayrah:

Allah's Apostle (peace_be_upon_him) said: The Last Hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.
A rational person can quickly realize the ridiculous nature of this Hadith. There is scientific error at so many levels. First, the idea of stones and trees talking is from the realm of fairy tales. In order for the stone or tree to talk, it would need a brain, lungs, the proper vocal cords, and an understanding of the language it is speaking. Equally disturbing is the claim that one of these trees, the Gharqad, will take sides with the Jews.
If the thought of trees and stones talking was not enough, the Qur'an mentions clouds that can speak. Allah said to the clouds "come willingly or unwillingly" and they said "we come willingly" (Qur'an 41:11). Most readers pass right by this verse, but many questions come up when analyzing it. At what point does water vapor become conscious? Is a water molecule alive? With two atoms of hydrogen, and one of oxygen, where is the brain or the orifice required for speech?
Stories of non-living matter (rocks, etc) acting similar to living organisms is also found in the Qur'an. There are stories of mountains that have fear (Qur'an 33:72). Fear is an emotion which is caused by chemical impulses in the brain. Do the mountains, made a stone and dirt, have brains with these chemical impulses taking place?
One major scientific error in the Qur'an can be seen in the following verses:
And he followed a road; Till, when he reached the setting-place of the sun, he found it setting in a muddy spring, and found a people thereabout. We said: O Dhu'l-Qarneyn! Either punish or show them kindness. (Qur'an 18:85-86)
This is a major scientific blunder in the Qur'an. A man walked until he reached the setting place of the sun, and saw it setting in a muddy spring. Modern science has taught us that the earth revolves around the sun. The above excerpt from the Qur'an seems to state that it is the sun that moves, as well as sets on earth! If the sun were to touch the surface of the earth, everything would be incinerated, and all life would die.
Another curiosity is the mythical beings known in Islam as Jinn. There are Muslims who believe that Jinn stand on top of each other's shoulders all the way up to heaven, and listen to what is being discussed. There is a Hadith narrated by Aisha (Sahih Bukhari Volume 9, Book 93, Number 650) that says soothsayers and psychics receive some of their information from Jinn who stealthily acquire this info by listening to the discussions in heaven. The Qur'an says that the stars were created to defend heaven from such eavesdroppers (Qur'an 37:6-8), as well as saying that the stars are used as missiles (projectiles) to drive them away (Qur'an 67:5).
First of all, if Jinn can reach heaven by standing on the shoulders of one another, that means heaven is a given distance from earth. If this is true, then eventually we will be able to fly to heaven by space shuttle, or see it with a telescope. What is far worse in this theory is the thought that stars are used to throw at the Jinn. Stars are essentially stationary, but one can imagine how 7th century Arabs might have been in awe of the sights in the sky. This myth seems to confuse shooting stars with stars. The authors of the Qur'an and Hadiths probably thought stars and "shooting stars" were the same thing, when in reality they are not.
According to the Qur'an there was a man who could understand the speech of animals (Qur'an 27:18-19). While zoologists have formed methods of communicating with apes and chimps, no human being has ever been able to understand the "language" of species different from our own. The ability to speak like a human is formed by advanced brains with complex thought patterns, something most animals do not have. Therefore, to think that a man could understand the spoken language of another animal is absurd.
What is even worse is the verses cited have this man hearing the speech of ants! It is a scientific fact that ants have no speech patterns. They communicate through chemical trails, and other forms of odor. In otherwords they communicate via smell, not sound! This blunder is understandable, as the average desert Arab in the seventh century would not know this. However this lack of knowledge of the animal kingdom proves human origin of the text, and disputes theories of a divine origin.
The Qur'an states that Allah created the sky in layers. He created seven heavens, and decked the lowest heaven with lamps (Qur'an 67:3-5) and adorned it with the beauty of the stars (Qur'an 37:6). The Qur'an also states that the moon is within these seven heavens (Qur'an 71:15-16). If the stars (lamps) are in the lowest heaven, they are either closer to the earth than the moon, or are at an equal distance from the earth as the moon. Either way this is scientifically inaccurate. It is a known fact that the stars are much farther away than the moon.
The following Hadith speaks of monkeys that are Muslims:
Sahih Bulhari Volume 5, Book 58, Number 188:

Narrated 'Amr bin Maimun:

During the pre-lslamic period of ignorance I saw a she-monkey surrounded by a number of monkeys. They were all stoning it, because it had committed illegal sexual intercourse. I too, stoned it along with them.
It is a rule in both Islam and Judaism that women who commit adultery are to be stoned. According to the above Hadith monkeys were subject to this law as well. What other laws do monkeys follow? Are they required to make a pilgrimage to Mecca? Are they required to read the Qur'an? What constitutes adultery in the monkey world? This is simply a myth. This is similar to a story found in the Ramayana, an ancient Hindu epic, that talks of the monkey Hanuman, and others of his kind, fighting for control of the monkey kingdom.
There is a Hadith (Sahih Buklhari Volume 1, Book 9, Number 490) which states that if a woman or a dog passes in front of you while you are praying, your prayer will not make it to heaven. While there are chauvinistic implications here, I'd like to focus on the scientific aspect. What is it about women and dogs that nullify prayers? Are the prayers carried by a type of sonic wave that women and dogs disrupt? It is obvious that there is no scientific explanation to this absurd myth. No one should be surprised by this, as numerous Hadiths say dogs are evil, and should be killed. Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 54, Number 540 says plainly: "Allah's Apostle ordered that the dogs should be killed."
Of course when it comes to killing animals, there are different laws for different species. Dogs are to be killed instantly, however snakes are to first get verbal warning if he comes to your house. If the snake comes a second time, kill him (Sunan Abu Dawud Book 41, Number 5240). The interesting thing about such a Hadith is the fact that snakes cannot hear. It is bad enough to assume that any animal would understand you giving a verbal warning, but to assume that an animal that is deaf will understand you is ridiculous. It is the equivalent of writing a note for a bat, and leaving it on your door so that he may read it later.
