MODERN PHYSICS AND THE QURAN

The Challenge of The Qur’an ~ 384 ~ And how significant that Sir James Jeans should have concluded his book, The Mysterious Universe with these words: “We cannot claim to have discerned more than a very faint glimmer of light at the best; perhaps it was wholly illusory, for certainly we had to strain our eyes very hard to see anything at all. So that our main contention can hardly be that the science of today has a pronouncement to make, perhaps it ought rather to be that science should leave off making pronouncements: the river of knowledge has too often turned back on itself” (p.138).
