At the rate Islam is going, it doesn't appear that it will go through its own ReFormation any time soon. As a matter of fact, all signs point to a Stone-Formation of immovable and closed thought, laws and practice. I saw something today in Stamford, CT for the first time - a women at the grocery store in full head to toe birkah, with her eyes peering out a small slit in the head-dress. The last time I saw a costume that extreme, I was in Morocco. I didn't even see a fully-hidden women in the Arab villages in Israel. Weird....Mal

Its a very interesting combination, that of science vs religion
it has been debated in so many different platforms. If religion is in fact true, than science should compliment it not negate it. However, I think the test of a true religion stands in the test of scientific parallels.
I find it a bit amusing and very distasteful that the liberal element never fails to find an excuse to bash the conservative. (just an observation of your comments) It would be nice if they sometimes (maybe just once) had something valuable to add to ANY discussion.

It seems to be a human failing to feel the need to prove that God exists. Apparently God never planned it that way, or requested it of us, or has a need for his existence to be proven. Attempting to prove that God does/does not exist only detracts from having a right relationship with him and from enjoying the fullness of his grace.

I remember in psychology my professor said, "You can't prove squat. You can only disprove" This post reminds me of that...I Think that you are correct in saying that a reformation in the west led to science being fostered as well.

Muslim Science
Sadly, that type of esoteric inquiry and healing secrets were removed from the seekers by the clergy. Too much knowledge is a dangerous enemy to some. joab

Disprobable? I thought it was the ability to reproduce results what made a method or experiment scientific... now I am confused :-) but hey that is nothing new loll... xoxoxo

Ah, religion, when you hold us in your hands.... It is true that they WERE a fantastic people in the 13th-14th-15th century, but since then it has been a decline in free thinking without which no advancement is possible. Doctrine!
