Stathis Papaioannou asks: So are you saying that if a scientific error is pointed out to you in the Bible or the Quran you will accept that they are not the word of God?
Honest answer: I don't know. To quote from the last paragraph of General Conclusions from Dr Maurice Bucaille's book: 'In view of the level of knowledge in Muhammad's day, it is inconceivable that many of the statements In the Qur'an which are connected with science could have been the work of a man. It is, moreover, perfectly legitimate, not only to regard the Qur'an as the expression of a Revelation, but also to award it a very special place, on account of the guarantee of authenticity it provides and *the presence in it of scientific statements which, when studied today, appear as a challenge to explanation in human terms. *' All I ask that scientists evaluate these in the light of today's discoveries. I think we all stand to benefit from it.
