[.ca] The Bible, the Quran & Science (ISBN 0935782494)

Marvelous! Unbiased and Objective!:
Excellent Book! Excellent Work, Full of facts. It is out of this world. It is real eye opener. Basic facts are same, so there is no question of book being outdated. It shows that how much a French can be unbiased and objective while analyzing the facts. This book is for you if you are lost reading atheist. The book shows that religion and science not only can co-exist but also they complement each other. Finding a truth is more like rely race. You can go up to extent with the help of science and then you have to pass the stick to religion Note: One need to read this book twice with objective mind to understand. If a person doesn't understand first time, before writing the comments the book should read again. Buying the original Koran will also help.

WHAT A BOOK!!! Enlightning:
It sure makes one wonder about the BIBLE and wheather it has suffered the cruelty of time and man for that matter. The Quran is a book that makes one reflect, not only about God, but about nature and science as well. I loved it, and it has changed my perspective about life in general. Thank you Maurice Bucaille, you have shown me the way.

LOADS OF RESEARCH IN TERMS OF SCIENCE AND RELIGION!:
WHat is honestly not fair, is people lowering their feedbacks more then neccesarly, on a book, simply because it is aginast their opinions, or they don't like that the book speaks praisingly about something they dislike. I own the original of this book, and i am honestly going to say: NO ONE CAN DENY this scientist, surgeon, and mathmtecian etc... did do RESERACH. You can't deny it, even if you wnat to give him negative stars. It's a clear cut easy read book, with many scientific facts compared to what the bible, the quran as well as some of the torah, has to say. there's an introduction to each religion's belif, not opinionated. THIS man is a non-muslim! why would he lie about something and then take the time to write a book, had his observations been false? Being non-muslim, i half expected this book to be written in an answering-to tone of all the bible's "misconceptions".Unlike most books who merely state opinions and well... have no root of research, this man took time. Science is a big thing. you can't state your opinion without a theory, research, an experiment, and a conclusion. THat is exaclty what this author did.

I love this book but...:
I am a muslim and as such should be happy about this book. And I am. In my mind, I have believed after much reading that if anything that I've read so far (talmud, bible (partially), buddhism teachings) could have come from God, then the most probable one is the Quran. I also believe that searching for God is searching for his signs on earth through scientific research and knowledge building. That being said, I have a problem when science is somehow used to "prove" a religion or disprove it, or vice versa (religion used to disprove science). My main reason behind this, is the typical example of Galileo. The Church then had decided to take an old (earth centric) scientific theory of the universe and make it religious. They then killed, threatened to do so to anyone who refuted this earlier scientific theory since it was now taken as "Word Of God". So while many of our current scientific knowledge is inline with what the Quran says (as far as we know), they should not be seen as representing absolute truth about the science of the universe (= God's rules of creation). Simply speaking, it's only really us equating our knowledge with our understanding of a some verses, chapters etc... And we could be wrong and not necessarily in all cases. And it is a good thing to keep in mind that our science evolves and that our knowledge evolves and as the Quran says, it is but a drop of water in the ocean of God's knowledge. God loves scientists (from Quran), and God has created the universe with rules (=science), but let's not assume that we know all of those rules and to link them with verses from the Quran (as if these were the ultimate truth), Bible, Talmud or other scriptures. I love the ancient muslim scientists who after giving their theory on this or that would end their book, paragraph with "This is what I think but God is more knowledgeable". In essence, do not ever pass any knowledge as an ultimate truth since such a thing does not exist, except for God's word. Still, it's a great read and excellent research. And I am giving it 5 stars.

Brilliant, Incisive:
A physician by profession, Bucaille brings a scientist's mind to an analysis of comparative religion. The result is a brilliant, insightful and rigorous analysis that has withstood the test of time. A true classic. If you read just one book on this subject, make it this one.
