According to the famous physicist and Nobel Prize winner, Albert Einstein, “Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind.

The Qur’an is not a book of Science but a book of ‘Signs’, i.e. Aayaats. There are more than six thousand ‘Signs’ in the Qur’an of which more than a thousand deal with hard core Science

ASTRONOMY:- CREATION OF THE UNIVERSE: ‘THE BIG BANG’
“Do not the Unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined together (as oneunit of Creation), before We clove them asunder?” [Al-Qu’ran 21:30]

The striking similarity between the Qur’anic verse and ‘The Big Bang’ is inescapable! How could a book, which first appeared in the deserts of Arabia 1400 years ago, contain this profound scientific truth?

INITIAL GASEOUS MASS BEFORE CREATION OF GALAXIES

Scientists agree that before the galaxies in the universe were formed, celestial matter was initially in the form of gaseous matter. In short, huge gaseous matter or clouds were present before the formation of the galaxies. To describe initial celestial matter, the word ‘smoke’ is more appropriate than gas. The following Qur’anic verse
refers to this state of the universe by the word dukhaan which means smoke.

“Moreover, He Comprehended in His design the sky, and it had been (as) smoke: He said to it and to the earth: ‘Come ye together, willingly or unwillingly.’ They said: ‘We do come (together), in willing obedience.’” [Al-Qur’an 41:11]

Again, this fact is a corollary to the ‘Big Bang’ and was not known to anyone before the prophetehood

THE SUN ROTATES

“It is He Who created the Night and the Day, and the sun and the moon: All (the celestial bodies)
swim along, each in its rounded course.” [Al-Qur’an 21:33]

“It is not permitted to the Sun to catch up the Moon, nor can the Night outstrip the Day:Each (just) swims along in (its own) orbit (according to Law).”[Al-Qur’an 36:40]

This verse mentions an essential fact discovered only recently by modern astronomy, i.e. the existence of the individual orbits of the Sun and the Moon, and their journey through space with their own motion. The ‘fixed place’ towards which the sun travels, carrying with it the solar system, has been located preirsely by modern astronomy. It has been given a name, the Solar Apex. The solar system is indeed moving in space towards a point situated in the constellation of Hercules (alpha Lyrae) whose exact location is now firmly established.
The moon rotates around its axis in the same duration that it takes to revolve around the earth. It takes proximately 29½ days to complete one rotation. One cannot help but be amazed at the scientific accuracy of the Qur’anic verses. Should we not ponder over the question:

“What is the source of knowledge contained in the Qur’an?”


Just download it you will get amazed to read completetly.

It is not what the book proves. It is how you live by the Words of God and how you show it by truly caring for others and many other ways.

If it is the book you are talking about, then I would say my opinion.

Quran I think explains about the past until the present days of its author while the Holy Bible contains the past, the present and the still unknown future.

Another thing I've noticed is Quran explains scientific existence of material things including the flesh while the Bible contains what, where, when, how, and why's of God's words.

It contains scientific proof and explanations about God while the Bible contains unexplainable, divine in nature and miraculous proofs like healing, raising the death (all by faith) through Christ.

Peace. :) Just my point of view. No offense meant okay? :)
