CHALLENGE OF MODERN KNOWLEDGE

Challenge of Modern Knowledge ~ 9 ~ CHALLENGE OF MODERN KNOWLEDGE With the splitting of the atom, all of man’s conceptions of matter have been drastically altered. In fact, the advance of science in the past century has culminated in a knowledge explosion, the like of which has never before been experienced in human history, and in the wake of which all ancient ideas about God and religion have had to be reexamined. This, as Julian Huxley puts it, is the challenge of modern knowledge. In the following pages, I propose to answer this challenge, for I am convinced that, far from having a damaging effect on religion, modern knowledge has served to clarify and consolidate its truths. Many modern discoveries support Islamic claims made 1400 years ago that what is laid down in the Quran is the ultimate truth, and that this will be borne out by all future knowledge. Soon We will show them Our signs in all the regions of the earth and in their own souls, until they clearly see that this is the truth.1 41:53
