I think you should mind your language and think before speaking. If you are not interested to have a fruitful and constructive discussion then the moderators of this forum should immediately take notice of you.
Let me correct you that Prophet Muhammad(pbuh) was sent by God to guide the mankind in spiritual, religious and social matters ,he wasn't a Scientist nor a Mathematicians. Muslims started to make contribution in Science and Mathematics during Medival Times after the demise of Prophet Muhammad(pbuh).

Rembmer, what ever you call a flower, flower remains a flower.


Right of the bat there's the huge contradiction of the scientific method and reliance on one man's opinion. Science disallows idolization of any particular person's knowledge. Even giants of science, like Newton, had his theories revised by later scientists expanding knowledge of how the universe works. How can any Muslim claim "science" reasoning when they've sworn intellectual allegiance to one man's ideas? That to go against that one man's ideas is to go against Allah Himself? It's absurd to think this sort of religious ideology can be compatible with real science.

I can feel the prejudism and baseless hatred inside your heart for Islam and Muslims but let me tell you the classical and ancient Scientists who came centuries and centuries before Newton were muslims and their names were changed to Western names by your Western critics.

1)who was "Gebber"?

2)Who was "Avicina"?

Were these Scientists westerns? Their books are still available in some of the most reputed and well known European Universities and your Western Professors and Scholars study those books, if you don't believe me ,please go and take a look your self dear prejudise.


Then there's all of Muhammad's errors of knowledge of the world found in his book, e.g., Muhammad's reliance on the ancient model of an earth-centered solar system with seven concentric "heavens" shells above the earth, e.g., Muhammad's mistaking sperm for the dominate process of fertilization seemingly to forget all about the female egg in the process which is seems to be Muhammad's plagiarism of Galen's 2nd century ideas. Relying on ancient men's knowledge of the world can only lead to problems in the modern world.

Time to take the idol off the pedestal, Muslims, if you don't want to be laughed at by Western intellectuals who will mow down Muhammad's ideas easily with scientific facts and historical evidence.
