Raji Al Munir

Islam, God, and the New Enlightenment Raji Al Munir

What is science? How credible is modern scientific knowledge? What does science say about the history and nature of the world that we all live in? What is the world-view of the Islamic holy text, The Koran? Is the Koranic world-view compatible with the science-based world-view? Does science have anything to say about the God hypothesis? Is religion helpful or harmful to the progress of human civilization? These profoundly important questions are discussed in this book.
