above comparison taken from islam

Now some more

It is very interesting that many Muslims are trying to justify Koran using science, 

 

My friend,

 

 I read the pages you mentioned, for me it was like reading of Nostradamus predictions come true. There are books, TV series and so on so froth about Nostradamus very cleverly explaining that how Nostradamus predictions came true

 

All those claims about Nostradamus are just “retroactive clairvoyance”

 

In “retroactive clairvoyance” actual evidence is retrofitted to match these "clues" (hindsight bias). The tips that don't fit are conveniently forgotten (selective thinking

 All those claims in Koran saying that it matches the science are equivalent to retroactive clairvoyance

We can take one example of sun set and sun rise, Koran considers sun as lantern and other stars as lamps. But now we know sun is also a star not lantern, but using concept of retroactive clairvoyance one can consider sun as lantern because it provide light for us.

Koran says sun’s motion gives day and night in actuality its earth’s motions that produce day and night. Using “retroactive clairvoyance” ppl say “you see Koran said son revolves around; now scientists find Sun revolves”.

 But those failed to relate the sun’s motion with earth’s day and night. People who are gullible end up believing such claims

 Humans have an uncanny ability to find meaningful patterns where none were intended. Using this ability we are still trying to fit meanings of religious texts in science.

 One of the processes in science to check the source is to check the mistakes or impurities. Mistakes made by Aristotle and Galen about embryo are also in Koran indication that source of information in Aristotle, Galen and Koranic embryology is same. Aristotle and Galens embryology was before Koran and result of gradual evolution in science Therefore the concept of human embryo development in Koran is not a new concept.

  According to the bible in the beginning it was dark, then god said let there be light, Boom, a Big Bang, there you go, Bible explained BB theory.

 Most important thing to understand is three Abrahamic religions don’t agree with each other  

Each of them claims they are the real. If they cannot sort out their difference in 1400 years then obviously there is something wrong.
