Description
In this video, I take apart the widespread claim of “scientific miracles” in the Qur’an — the idea that the holy text contains knowledge that modern science only recently discovered. I go through popular examples one by one: the supposed description of the expanding universe, the claim that mountains act like pegs, the embryology verses, and more. But instead of just quoting surface-level translations, I dig into the original Arabic, the historical context, and how these interpretations only appeared after scientific discoveries were already made — not before.
I explain how vague or poetic language gets twisted into scientific precision, how selective quoting hides contradictions, and how speakers like Zakir Naik package these arguments with fast delivery, confident body language, and cherry-picked sources to create the illusion of unshakable truth. More importantly, I remind viewers that real scientific progress comes not from ancient guesses, but from testable evidence, trial and error, and constant questioning.
By the end, this video doesn’t just challenge miracle claims — it invites you to reflect on a deeper issue: why do we need to retrofit modern science into old texts to make them feel relevant? If a belief system is true, shouldn’t it stand on its own, without needing scientific backup that was never there to begin with?
