Scientific Accuracy of Qur'an Amazes U of T Professor
This message is based on an article titled "Highlights of Human
embryology in the Qur'an and Haidth" by Dr.Keith Moore, Professor of
Anatomy and Chairman of the Department, Faculty of Medicine, at the
University of Toronto, 1982.
Dr. Moore points out that the study of how the human embryo develops
in the mother's womb could not progress significantly without the use
of microscopes. Microscopes were not invented until the 17th century
C.E., and were not used in this field of study until the 18th century.
Therefore, when Dr. Moore studied certain statements in the Qur'an on
this subject, he remarked, " I was amazed at the scientific accuracy
of these statements which were made in the 7th century C.E.,"
The Qur'an in 39:6 states that God made us in the wombs of our mothers
in stages. Dr. Moore comments: "The realization that the embryo
develops in stages in the uterus was not proposed until the1940's, and
the stages used nowadays were not adopted worldwide until the 19th
century C.E."
Furthermore, he says: "The idea that development results from a
genetic plan contained in the chromosomes, of the zygote was not
discovered until the end of the 19th century C.E. The verse from the
Qur'an [80:18] clearly implies that the nutfa (i.e. the initial drop
of fluid) contains the plan or blueprint for the future
characteristics and features of the developing human being."
The Qur'an 23: 12-16 indicates that there is a lag or a gap between
two of the early stages of growth. How does that compare with modern
scientific knowledge? Remarkably! Says Dr. Moore: "It is well
established that there is a lag or a delay in the development of the
embryo during the implantation... The agreement between the lag or gap
in development mentioned in the Qur'an and the slow rate of change
occurring during the second or third weeks is amazing. These details
of human development were not described until about 40 years ago."
Finally, Dr. Moore concludes by saying that the agreement he has found
in the Qur'anic statements 'may help to close the gap between science
and religion which has existed for so many years."
The above evidence shows that the Qur'an must be from God as it
claims. The Qur'an says that you and every human being should consider
this book with care: {Had it been from anyone other than God, you
would have found much discrepancy in it} [Qur'an 4:82]
