Using Logic and Science to Establish Faith: An Islamic Perspective | Omar Abdul Fatah | TEDxUBC

Omar's talk is about untangling the dichotomy between science/logic and religion. Specifically, he explains how he used both logic and science to affirm his faith as a Muslim. Omar is a history student at UBC, currently pursuing a career in teaching. When he is not studying, he really enjoys spending time with family and traveling. He has been to 11 countries and has spent the last two years living on a small island in Japan (best experience of his life). This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

"As a Christian I respect him and I agree with his views on logical thinking and not to just believe in blind faith." Sure, but this doesn't automatically mean that we are capable of using critical thinking correctly, "thinking for yourself" is not a qualification and doesn't guarantee correct results. this guy is simply fooling himself, he "knows" the answers to the questions, the answers cannot change , so he researches enough (from Muslim apologetic science sites) to confirm his biases, if evidence contradicts you religious bias, than he convinces himself that the evidence cannot be reliable. This guy takes enough science to satisfy his confirmation bias.

Salaam, thx bro... I was raised as a Seventh Day Adventist Christian and exposed to Rastafarianism as a teenager in Jamaica. When I returned to England I discussed beliefs with those I came into contact with for the first time: Sikhs, Hindus, Jains, Muslims, Jews... I prayed to God to guide me and I was led to Islam.... so I happily took the shahaadah June, 1981 at Imperial College, London, and became Muslim!!!. It was the greatest thing I've ever done!

[@aarmanhuaeein2028]

Greetings from Sweden too sister! I'm writing from my husbands account. Do you know how I realized Islam is truth? It started when I was brainwashed by atheism, couple of years ago when it was really popular. (Most depressing time of my life, imagine not even thinking God exists, we come from apes, we have no souls, when we die everything is over etc). But studying the human body and especially the cells, all the different cells were made of. I got a realization. The cells we are made of are for sure MADE, CREATED. And NOT by "evolution". Because non-religious scientists have proven that the proposed age of the universe is too short for even ONE single celled organism to develop by random chance evolution. There is actually no proof of evolution on a macroscale. And there are science in the Holy Quran. I'm so happy I feel so lucky Allah somehow led me to the path of Islam. I'm so grateful. But I have to study Islam more. I want to become a real Muslim. I love Allah so much. God bless you sister.

[@michaelanderson4849]

@@aarmanhuaeein2028 When you "realized" islam was the "truth", all you did was to make a entirely subjective decision to believe certain claims made in a couple of books and then promoted by others. You are not able to actually objectively verify any of the claims of islam bein the "truth". All you have is subjectivity. "It started when I was brainwashed by atheism, couple of years ago when it was really popular." Huh? When was atheism "really popular" in Sweden? And are you claiming less people being atheists or agnostics today than back then? "Most depressing time of my life, imagine not even thinking God exists" I'm sorry you were depressed. "we come from apes" No, that is not what the theories says, at all. "we have no souls" No one have shown the existence of anything resembling a soul. But plese, present objective data supporting the existence of a soul. "when we die everything is over" Why would that be bad? "But studying the human body and especially the cells, all the different cells were made of. I got a realization. The cells we are made of are for sure MADE, CREATED. And NOT by "evolution"" You "realized" the cells are created? Yet I sense you don't have any objective data to support this. If you actually had objective data supporting this you would present that data in a credible scientific journal for the rest of the world to see. "Because non-religious scientists have proven that the proposed age of the universe is too short for even ONE single celled organism to develop by random chance evolution." Proven? Natural science does not "prove" anything. That is not part of the scientific methodology. Natural science works with experiment, forming hypothesis, falsification of hypothesis and formulation of theories. "There is actually no proof of evolution on a macroscale." See above. "And there are science in the Holy Quran." There is a mix of the knowledge people had acquired up until the time of mohammed writing the text and erroneous claims made by mohammed in that text. One question: exactly where does the sun set?

Thank you Omar for your presentation.

[@veganath]

*Seriously the assumptions here are absurd.* First if your going to talk about *_"ANGELS"_* produce merit worthy evidence for their existence. Second you ask people to read the Quran, other Muslims tell me that to truly understand the Quran you need to read it in it's original language Arabic. So in fairness I would also have to read other religious scriptures, e.g. the Vedas, the Bible, the Torah, the Buddhist scriptures, the Zoroastrian scripture, Shinto scriptures...etc in their original language. so please forgive me but I'm still learning Hebrew, Sanskrit, Pali, Greek, Japanese...etc. Given what is at stake as theist claim, our eternal fate rest on what we believe, e.g. get it wrong and be condemned to an eternity of suffering or get it right and enjoy an eternity of joy. I can only assume that Omar has read *ALL* religious scriptures given the gravity of our fate Do you see the dilemma one faces about the absolute truth claims that are mutually exclusive, i.e. if one religion is correct the others cannot be. And the only way to know which, if any, is true is to learn the language of each of the religious scriptures and study them. I cannot imagine how many decades it would take to learn all the languages of the original holy scriptures religions and then read the respective scripture for a truly comparative study, one would also need to study science(maths, cosmology, biology, genetics, chemistry, Newtonian physics and quantum physic) in order to understand atheist perspective? Omar claims to have arrived at his conclusion after a *LONG* intellectual, spiritual struggle, he doesn't look old enough to have made a truly comprehensive comparative study...

Why would it have given a more solid reason to believe? The primary claim is that if God had not written it then it would contain errors. Firstly, that is an unfalsifiable proposition. How are you able to determine that a God has done anything? What justifies the claim that humans cannot write a book without errors? Even if both claims are true, what is the verification that the God that is the author is the same God the book describes? What is the standard being used and the methodology to determine whether or not the book has errors and contradictions? We both know that there is not universal consensus on this, there are critics and there are apologists. This alone should reveal that this video contains no valid reason to conclude Islam is true or that any God at all is real. The test provided can show neither.

As someone who's been studying Islam for almost 2 years now, sorry to say, but not all of his arguments are true (he's just wrong, not deceitful). As an example, the word "Nur" does not mean "reflected light". It literally means "light". Allah is described as "Nur" in the Qur'an, and I'm sure any and all Muslims will agree that Allah is not a mere redflected light. Ergo, the Moon is called "a light". No scientific miracle here. It's not wrong, though, if you just take the verse as being a little vage, or just focused on the Moon's practical function.

@@YzaesDuo Islam is the fastest-growing religion in the world, though that's largely due to the young ages and fertility rates of Muslims - I have no idea how anyone can reliably track conversion rates worldwide. Though, again, this is an utterly pointless statistic to claim. A religion being the most popular or fastest-growing doesn't make it true. That is an argument from popularity, which is a logical fallacy.

In my opinion the most fundamental part of islam is helping whenever you can, uplifting people you know AND don't know, truly genuinely care about troubled people. It's all about giving, nothing else! It is not only about science or rationality, but its especially about kindness and gentleness. If you want to prove the existence of god by logic, you will always have an unanswered question, always. Seek answers through the heart, not through the brain, it's fundamental. An if you wonder what ''seek answers through the heart'' means, go outside and give a genuine help, you'll know what that means.

The one big problem with people that try to reconcile islam and science or claim that islam is empirical and logically provable is that in most cases the people involved have no clue about what empirical means or how logical argumentation or how the philosophy of science works. Alot of guys ive met when asking them why you believe in the quran, they will offer the usual cliches of scientific miracles (they end up quoting scientific facts that were known before quran) rather than scientific miracles and they end up with the theres no contradiction cliche. In many cases they simply follow zakir naik or this so called "daee" guys who use these cliches. Thats the big problem. They use outdated unintellectual ways that confirm biases.

In reality no, as he claims, he was always a Muslims, he then simply applied the good old confirmation bias methods, fooling himself that he was doing honest "scientific" empirical enquiry. "think for yourself" is not a qualification or a guarantee of any sort. If you have invested so much, you have a strong bias, you watch or read only sources that confirm you existing beliefs is quite naive. it's quite shocking that though this guy has completed his studies, he claims he never knew the fact that the sun emits its own light and that the moon reflects light, this has been known 1000 years before the Quran. The big bang example is totally wrong. Everything was not together than separate, everything was formed many billions of years after the big bang through gravity, ie: coming together. But than for any claim, we should always look for the most simple explanation, even if it's only a probability without evidence, it's always preferred over an extraordinary claim that cannot be substantiated and would hence require extraordinary evidence. It's quite likely that these versus explain the experience that a traveler has while travelling towards the horizon, as we know you can never reach the horizon, it always expands forward due to the curvature of the earth.
