I have spent ()=0 time with the Koran so I can not address this as Morris may have already answered this question but in reading Galelio and looking at temple in Spain that handled water flow there is no doubt that more relations with the modern infinity can be posted either with a prior reading of scripture or not. I do not see what science can "back-up" religion exactly as I once thought if a scientist tried to use any of the 'back-up' for the wrong reasons GOD (either or neither) could have the omnicisence to change the parameterization so that the man-made scientific back-up would "dissapear" like magic though it may have been helpful to prevent falling into a black hole etc but that religion in an increasinly irrelgious (or amoral) world certainly could use "backup" from science and I take this to be a significant job that ICR CRS AIG are doing or perhaps in you view "trying" to do. But as to Islam I have no acutal religious reason to say so. I do think there is more muslim influence in science that did not go appreciated in the west that I BSM think could be cause for the 9-ll like the riots in NY of yesteryear only this time on a one world gov idea but that may be too political and not even true. There is more to a bacteria then a fluid.
