Quran is a book of signs and not science. It does have some verses that match with science but it's not a scientific book. Neither is the Bible
English

certainly not, science is science, Newton and Einstein are the prophets of physics, the Quran is not a scientific book, it is neither meant to be taken as one nor should it. However the Quran does not generally majorly contradict most current scientific arguments. The Islamic Arabs of the medieval ages wrote scientific books that were used for centuries, and made enormous breakthroughs in medicine, astronomy, and other fields, because they thought that science was discovering the works of God. I don't see why you have to only choose between Science and Religion, if you feel that you must than you unfortunately are naive and ignorant. Alas, blindly believing ancient books is naive and ignorant as well, you must be wise enough to determine truths. Peace and unity y'all, there doesn't have to be any sort of squabbling anywhere.

Newton studied the Bible more than math & science tho.

Interesting. When did they switch from scientific studies to killing people for Allah?
-
People can believe in both as I do, anyone who says you can only choose one is an idiot. The Quran is more than just a book with some science in it, it is truly a unique book, it's literary form is a miracle and is unmatched.

I agree, however many people do think that you can only beleive in one. Yes, to me, a Muslim it is, however if others do not accept it as then it is still pointless fighting or argueing
-
Yeah, oh well. Do you know how to read the Quran in Arabic?
-
Unfortunately not, I've read it in English but to get the full meaning out of it you have to read it in Arabic. First I have to actually learn Arabic though, and that will probably take some time

You'll get it. I read the whole book in Arabic and have memorized about 41 chapters so far in Arabic. Once you learn a little bit of Arabic you'll be able to easily memorize the smaller chapters.
