It seems that Islamists, some with ties to our ex-friend Osama bin
Laden, are touting the Quran as having
anticipated many of
the discoveries of modern Western science. It gets a bit strained
--- one verse saying that "God made man as a leech" is touted as
anticipation of modern embryology. But no matter.
Here's the real question. Science being what it is, if these
parallels are pushed far enough, they're going to trip on Quranic
parallels to some bit of Western science which gets overturned by
futher scientific evidence. What then --- revise the Quran?
