Our Class Summary in a Video
Hi Guys,
I just found this video on YouTube which basically summarizes the purpose and content of our entire class. It’s only 7ish minutes long so check it out. I think it is a really great guide when doing the introduction portions of our posters. It is very true to fact and emphasizes that Islamic scientific success was not due to influence from the Greeks but rather scientific observations of Muslim scientists. They also discuss the idea behind science and Islam is that scientific observation introduces man to the mysteries of creation, and ultimately, to God’s eternal knowledge, wisdom and power and ultimately, the Qur’an leads to scientific inquiry. I also noticed a pretty cool quote of Albert Einstein’s in the video description: “science without religion is lame” which ultimately says that religion guides science. I think this is something cool to think about for anyone who ever thought there was a clash between Islam and science.
Hope you guys find this informative. Just a quick watch so check it out!
