THE EVIDENCE OF BIOLOGY
In the field of biology, Quranic descriptions of
embryonic development are truly remarkable.
These were headlined in the newspapers towards
the end of 1984. The Canadian newspaper,
The
Citizen
(22 November, 1984) published this news under the
heading: Ancient Holy Book 1300 Years Ahead of
its Time.
Similarly
The Times of India
, New Delhi (10
December, 1984) published this news under this
headline: Koran Scores Over Modern Sciences.
Dr. Keith More, a famous embryologist and
professor at Toronto University, Canada, has
studied some verses from the Quran (23:14, 39:6),
making a comparative study of the Quranic verses
with modern research. In this connection he also
visited the King Abdul Aziz University in Jeddah,
Saudi Arabia, several times, along with his
colleagues. He found that the statements of the
Quran, astonishingly corresponded in full with
modern discoveries. He was very surprised that
facts contained in the Quran were brought to light
