Modern Trends: Islam & Science | Mohammed Hijab

[@hafidhalrawahy]

The Greek knowledge was more of natural philosophy, the Muslims introduced empirical sciences and scientific methodology

[@jshqwzira]

Yeah

[@insaanabdulla4522]

Your statement is exaggerated and inaccurate brother. The Archimedes principal is crucial, and i repeat, it is absolutely fundamental to the study of Fluid mechanics. And any Physicist or Engineer would tell you that fluid mechanics is the bed rock of many areas of science and technology which directly impact all our lives. Humanity would not be able to advance in many fields if we didn't have this principle with us. And Archimedes came up with this principle by means of experimentation. To say that all that Greeks did was Natural Philosophy and no experimentation is not an accurate statement.

[@insaanabdulla4522]

No doubt, the Muslims like Ibn Al Haytham were crucial for the Scientific method to be fully realised. But to say that no one before the Muslims engaged in any form of emperical sciences is inaccurate. Aristotle for example was know to have conducted experiments in somewhat of a similar way to that of the scientific method. Although much more primitive in its procedures. Still, credit needs to be given where due.

[@dinoraul119]

You are confusing two things.. science from muslims and science from islam are two different things. For example, a muslim may make a spaceship with speed of light but that does not imply it is because of islam

[@myinstgiscarbenuim1693]

@@dinoraul119 well actually yes it is , the seeking if knowledge was heavily stressed in Islamic teachings and it's actually a worship better than fighting for the sake of islam, in order to get any advancements or flourishing in science you have to get people who are actually interested in seeking knowledge and in science in the first place, and not only that but also ethical and moral use of science , that's why islam is the reason Muslims were so advanced in science without the teachings you would get a society that was the same as ones that were neighboring it

on the last point about atheism inhibiting science, you should look up creatorgate. Dr.Eyad qunaibi did an excellent summary in his arabic channel explaining the timeline of events; In short, a chinese researcher wrote a paper in a chinese journal studying the human hand, in his summary he praised the craftsmanship of the 'creator'. this one line caused the western atheists to throw a temper tantrum, blue haired twitter mob style, demand retractions, and eventually severely lower the journal's overal 'quality score'. an entire science journal got cancelled because they couldn't handle one publication where someone implied there was a creator. those atheists are guilty of the zealotry they attribute to others.

Important point: Hellenic culture (ancient Greek city states and Alexander's empire/successor states) had much more cultural, ethnic, philosophical etc exchange and relations with the ancestral peoples of the many peoples who belong to Islam in modern times. Alhamdulillah. Some evidence: 1. The Greek script itself decends from an adaptation of the semitic Phoenicians script. Later going on to influence the Latin and Cyrillic script. 2. When Alexander went marching he didn't go to France or Germany, he went with his armies to Anatolia, Syria, Iraq, Filistin, Egypt, Persia, Afghanistan, Central Asia(Alexandria Eschatae) and Sindh. Some of successor states lasted for centuries. Examples: Ptolmeic Egypt, Selecusia, Greco-Bactrian Kingdom, and its successor Indo-Greek Kingdom. They were not known as Greeks in the east at this time but as Yuna(Ionians).

[@mm-wm3jd]

Pythagorism emerged from earlier tradition (Orphic tradition). Yet, Greeks claimed it as mere philosophy. Then philosophy being taken an end by itself transformed epistemology. In that sense the Greeks inaugurated modern world crisis by replacing wisdom (supra natural and traditional) with profane science/philosophy (purely human and purely rational)'. Renaissance is therefore the beginning of the Dark age as it also is characterized by profane science/ philosophy: 1) lacks first principles, 2) accumulation of unfounded hypothesis and, 3) insignificant details. When Muslims scientists were in charge, they changed the game by just inserting the concept of God in to scientific and philosophical enquires. Which grounded them firmly in to first principles. As sphere of universal principles is equivalent to sphere of metaphysics, their grounding in Tawheed helped them to access essentials of reality/truth through intellectual intuition. That is why their discoveries is still in use at every sector. From Algebra to Optics through medical surgeries and medicinal plants, what they gave us is still in use. Their accuracy is directly related to their principal methodology. On the flip side, The Modern world has lost its depth and no longer begins in certainty or truth, but aim only at applications. Hence it ends up confusing science and industry. If it is applicable at the moment, no scientist cares about the metaphysical/reality/truth. Newtonian physics though applicable, the emergence of Quantum physics falsifies it. Darwin is going to end up the same at some point , but how many wars did it instigate, and how many lives lost because of it. Who cares, Modern world keeps confusing science and application. 👉 Summarized from different chapters in 'Crisis of the Modern world' by René Guénon.

The role of cryptography is primarily related to encryption of data then. But would the internet not exist at all if there was no encryption? Not at all! The concept, the idea, the functioning of the internet would still exist, although without encryption, information would surely not be protected.

1:00:50 It is common descent that is evidentially on par with heliocentrism. Not the theory about mechanism. None of the third way scientists dispute that common descent is an established fact comparable to the earth orbitting the sun. And Dawkins never claimed natural selection is as secure as this. He explicitly accepts that it isn't. Only the part that refutes islam is known with certainty. Hijab is making the standard creationist error of conflating the fact of evolution with the mechanisms of evolution.

[@wandering3ngineer]

Some clarification. Can you elaborate vis a vis the facts of evolution vs the mechanism? Are you saying that the Islamic position disregards the concept of common descent? And that this common descent is something that is an established fact of evolution?

[@DetInspectorMonkfish]

@@wandering3ngineer common descent is one thing, the mechanism of how the species diverged is another. There is some debate about mechanism, and questions about the exact role natural selection plays. But none of this casts doubt on the established fact that humans share close ancestors with chimpanzees. Which conflicts with special creation as described by the quran.

The main reason Muslims translated Greek texts were to strengthen their religion and improve their health.. Not because they were inspired by Greek thinking.

[@geesihalas6590]

The greek of that day was an egyptian, athenian, constantinoplean, half-persian and kretian greek. They are more middle eastern than european. The european of the nordic and the west just want to claim greek taking out of its relationship with east. The eurocentric west is doing that to boast his false pride. Not that Sweden had to do with Greece or Has to do with it now than their immediate neighbours that they shared culture, religion and science. The eurocentrics project their wishes and the blondman identity on that brown world of the mideterranean sea. Both the Romans, the Greeks were first or second citizens of Alexandria, Tunis, Gaza and Istanbul. No need to project the modern political & religious identity of today on the past. Particularly when it is about ethnogeographically similar nations.

The WHY (purpose) question can't be answered by science, nor can it be answered by religion. It's an impossible to answer question and therefore useless. Religion claims it does answer it but gets no further than cry "god" and "goddidit" However, that's doesn't explain a thing. It doesn't get us any further in understanding. It is begging the question and as such a fallacy in itself. Therefore, it is not a category fallacy since the "why question", as impossible to answer, clearly belongs to another category than the WHAT and HOW questions, which are possible to answer.

[@h.k.3704]

Religions, doesnt matter which ones, mostly answer the why question regardless of how true people think they are, because most of them either believe in afterlife or reincarnation etc, i.e immortal consciousness or soul. They are theories based on either ignorance or philosophy. On the other hand, science promotes nihilism. There is absolutely no reason to exist, due to the fact that we die. For every action there is a reaction but when you look at the big picture of human life, you wont get a reaction for your action but death/nothingness which is not a reaction. İf we were immortal there would then be no reason to beg these questions and religions would be fewer and lighter in importance.
