scientific approach to the quran 
	
		 
	
		a truly scientific approach to the quran is possible 
	
		because the quran offers something that is not offered by other religious scriptures, in particular, and other
	
		religions, in general. it is what scientists demand. today 
	
		there are many people who have ideas and theories about 
	
		how the universe works. these people are all over the place, but the scientific community does not even bother to listen to them. this is because within the last century the
	
		scientific community has demanded a test of falsification. 
	
		they say, "if you have theory, do not bother us with it unless you bring with that theory a way for us to prove
	
		whether you are wrong or not." 
	
		 
	
		such a test was exactly why the scientific community 
	
		listened to einstein towards the beginning of the century. he came with a new theory and said, "i believe the universe works like this; and here are three ways to prove
	
		whether i am wrong!" so the scientific community subjected his theory to the tests, and within six years it passed all three. of course, this does not prove that he was great, but it proves that he deserved to be listened to
	
		because he said, "this is my idea; and if you want to try to 
	
		prove me wrong, do this or try that." 
	
		 
	
		this is exactly what the quran has - falsification tests. some 
	
		are old (in that they have already been proven true), and
