THE EVIDENCE OF BIOLOGY

The Challenge of The Qur’an ~ 369 ~ THE EVIDENCE OF BIOLOGY In the field of biology, Quranic descriptions of embryonic development are truly remarkable. These were headlined in the newspapers towards the end of 1984. The Canadian newspaper, The Citizen (22 November, 1984) published this news under the heading: Ancient Holy Book 1300 Years Ahead of its Time. Similarly The Times of India, New Delhi (10 December, 1984) published this news under this headline: Koran Scores Over Modern Sciences. Dr. Keith More, a famous embryologist and professor at Toronto University, Canada, has studied some verses from the Quran (23:14, 39:6), making a comparative study of the Quranic verses with modern research. In this connection he also visited the King Abdul Aziz University in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, several times, along with his colleagues. He found that the statements of the Quran, astonishingly corresponded in full with modern discoveries. He was very surprised that facts contained in the Quran were brought to light
