In addition, far too much science is taught from school textbooks (and by teachers who know little more about science than what is in the textbooks).
Science is about life and about real phenomena in our world, and it must be experienced directly, not through the words of a textbook.
Science may well be potentially the most exciting subject in the curriculum because so much is being discovered every day.

In 1678, Huygens, in a communication to the Academie des Science, propounded a wave theory of light propagated through 'aether,' and held that every point on a wave is itself a source of new waves.
Thus the connections which science establishes are "entirely arbitrary," and the "utmost effort of human reason is to reduce the principles, productive of natural phenomena, to a greater simplicity" (Hume 1738:30).
In 1742, Jean Le Rond D'Alembert introduced the principle which permitted the reduction of a problem in dynamics to one in statics: Kinetic equilibrium is obtained by inventing a fictional force equal in magnitude to the body in question and opposite in acceleration.

 Qur'an and Science
To the educated men like yourself, those that do not believe in God, science is generally your yardstick.....but to the Muslim, the HolyQuraan is our ultimate yardstick....the Quraan is also referred to as the "Furqaan" which is the arabic word meaning, the criterion between that which is right and that which is wrong.
At this point I am reminded of a very powerful verse of the Holy Quraan which appears in chapter 41, verse 53, "Soon shall we show them our signs in the (furthest) regions of the earth, and in their own souls,until it becomes manifest to them that this is the truth......".
