Does Faith Contradict Science?

As a matter of fact, science leads to faith. In his book, An Introduction to Islam, Ali Tantawi said: "Both a true scientist and an illiterate are faithful. Atheism and unbelief are seemingly adopted by those who are not well-learned. Thus, whoever acquires little science (and stops at some point, he might lose his faithful nature since he might not master the science that leads to faith." (Ali Tantawi, Introduction to Islam)

 Albert Einstein said, "Faith without science walks as a limb and science without faith crawls like the blind."

 Albert MacCub Dinshtiz, Prof. of biology in the Faculty of Bailor and ex-dean of the Academy of Science, in Florida, said: "Working in the field of sciences supported my faith in God to such an extent that it became stronger and deeper than it had been.

Science, undoubtedly, increases the Man's insight to realize Allah's power. The newer issues that Man may discover the more faithful a believer in Allah he becomes." Dr. Bastor also said, "True science can never be materialized, but rather it leads to more knowledge of Allah."

The Chemist Wetsis, a staff member in the Academy of Sciences and the dean of the Faculty of Medicine said, "When I feel that my belief in Allah starts to shake I go directly towards the Academy of Science to fix it."

A statistical study was performed by German scientist; Denirt analyzed the philosophical points of view of the outstanding scientists in the last four centuries.

The number of those scientists is 290. Denirt found out the following:

"(38) were atheists, (242) accepted the belief publicly and (20) were disinterested concerning religion." This means that (925%) accepted Islam publicly. This great ratio indicates that the contradiction between faith and science alleged by the materialists is baseless. It turns out that faith and science are complementary.

A scientific theory can never contradict a Qur'anic verse or an authenticated Prophetic hadith. If it does, we should believe that such theory is not fully proved.

Currently numerous scientific theories are believed as being authentic but later end up being disregarded because they turn out to be false.

In the 21st century, scientists in the fields of medicine, astrology geography and other pure experimental sciences laid down their weapons and ceased to fight against religion and the Unseen. They then begin to admit the existence of Allah as a result of the scientific facts and space research. They have nothing except to believe in Allah who disposes of the universe and what it contains.

Therefore, science leads to the existence of Allah and is compatible to the Unseen. All people have nothing except to surrender to Allah's Omnipotence. Allah has defied the Man to create even very simple things, before them science is still deficient.
