	Islam and Modern Science
		Secondly, [he argued], science came from the Islamic world originally and therefore Islamic science is really responsible for the West's possession of science and the West's domination of the Islamic world itself.
		Modern science is successful in telling you the weight and chemical structure of a red pine leaf, but it is totally irrelevant to what is the meaning of the turning of this leaf to red.
		And as science is not a value free activity, it is fruitful and possible for one civilization to learn the science of another civilisation but to do that it must be able to abstract and make its own.

	Atlantis - modern science
		Science made a wrong turn in the early 1800's and the consequences are still with us.
		However, recent science is beginning to see the mistake and send us in the right direction.
		Traditional science has very carefully pieced together the evidence that shows a gradual growth of civilization beginning around the end of the last ice age approximately 8,000 BC to 10,000 BC.

		Mathematics is most prevalent in (The science of matter and energy and their interactions) physics, but less so in chemistry, biology, and some social sciences.
		The word science comes from the (Any dialect of the language of ancient Rome) Latin word, scientia, which means (The psychological result of perception and learning and reasoning) knowledge.
		Science therefore had the same sort of very broad meaning that (The rational investigation of questions about existence and knowledge and ethics) philosophy had at that time.

		Among the achievements of modern science is the “conquest” of space which has resulted in mans journey to the moon.
		Buffon, the great naturalist, was one of those in favor of the egg theory.Bonnet, on the other hand, supported the theory of ‘the ovaries of Eve’, which stated that Eve, the mother of the human race, was-supposed to have had inside her the seeds of all human beings packed together one inside the other.

	Buddhism and Modern Science
		The science that evolved on the basis of Cartesian bifurcation was confined to material objects within the limits of perception of human sensory organs which are unable to perceive anything that extended beyond three spatial dimensions.
		Modern twentieth century science that developed after transcending the dimensional barrier by twentieth century scientists such as Albert Einstein, Erwin Schrodinger, Louis de Broglie, Paul Dirac, Werner Heisenberg, Richard Feynman, Murray Gellman, Sir Arthur Eddington and Stephen Hawkin is based on the theory of relativity, quantum mechanics and uncertainty principle.
		Twentieth century transcended science enables us to scientifically confirm that such concepts as impermanence, rebirth, telepathy and selflessness taught by the Buddha are true phenomena of nature which are beyond three spatial dimentions and therefore beyond classical science.

	Swedenborg & Science
		The modern atom with its rapidly circulating electrons appears to be solid in the same way he suggested, and rather differently from what Boyle and Newton imagined.
		Modern physics too has realised that the constituents of atoms have higher and higher energies, with the proposed quarks having energies much larger than appear in normal molecular, atomic, or nuclear processes.
		His ideas of intrinsic polarity in the constitution of particles is a remarkable anticipation of the notion of spin in modern particle physics, while the same ideas applied to magnetic materials produced pictures of magnetisation which are still valid today.

	Christianity and the beginnings of modern science
		It is significant that the early pioneers in modern science were men of deep Christian faith.
		Alfred North Whitehead, in Science and the Modern World, declared eighty years ago: "Faith in the possibility of science, generated antecedently to the development of modern scientific theory, is an unconscious derivative from medieval theology.
		Having looked at the Christian foundations of modern science, I will now explore the two issues over which most of the battles have been fought, the age of the universe and the theory of evolution.

		Science and religion are both destined to grow and change in the millennia that lie ahead of us, perhaps solving some old mysteries, certainly discovering new mysteries of which we yet have no inkling.

	The Quran and Modern Science by Dr. Maurice Bucaille Edited by Dr. Bilal Philips
		What is more, in a century where, for many people, scientific truth has dealt a deathblow to religious belief, it is precisely the discoveries of science that, in an objective examination of the Islamic scripture, have highlighted the supernatural nature of revelation and the authenticity of the religion which it taught.
		These Qur’anic references are a11 in perfect agreement with modern ideas on the existence of primary nebula (galactic dust), followed by the separation of the elements which resulted in the formation of galaxies and then stars from which the planets were born.

	THE QUR'AN AND MODERN SCIENCE-by Dr. Maurice Bucaille (French Academy of Medicine)-Quran-Koran-Chemistry-miracle-code
		It comes as no surprise to learn that Religion and Science have always been considered to be twin sisters by Islam and that today at a time when science has taken such great strides, they still continue to be asociated, and furthermore certain scientific data are used for the better understanding of the Qur'anic text.
		All this is in perfect agreement with modern ideas on the existence of primary nebula and the process of secondary separation of the elements that had formed the initial unique mass.
		If one compares the facts of modern hydrology with the data to be found in numerous verses of the Qur'an on this subject, one cannot fail to notice the ramarkable degree of agreement between the two.

	Modern Philosophy
		One thing that happened during the Renaissance that was of great importance for the later character of modern philosophy was the birth of modern science.
		This is not because of the positive results of his investigations, which were few, but because of the questions that he raised and problems that he created, problems that have still not been answered to everyone's satisfaction: particularly the Problem of Knowledge and the Mind-Body Problem.
		And in a day when philosophy and science were not distinguished from each other, Descartes was a famous physicist and mathematician as well as a philosopher.

	Consciousness and modern science
		That kind of science, however, would, as only part of a more extended science, no longer have the authority to insist that we are here, solely through random causes, in a meaningless universe; nor that our consciousness is 'merely' the chemical and physical processes of the brain.
		He states that for a mentalist, phenomena such as telepathy, clairvoyance, channeling, reincarnation, and psychokinesis are 'logical impossibilities', and warns against opening the doors of science to 'the supernatural, the mystical, the paranormal, the occult, the otherworldly'.
		The future direction of science is of great concern to us all for, as Willis Harman says, 'the modern scientific worldview is inherently flawed and misleading in ways vital to the well-being of individuals and societies, and inimical to the future viability of human civilization' (p.
