Draft for Islam and Science

So I was speaking to Qtian today, and he asked me to share the link for a draft he's currently working on regarding Islam and science, and he'd really appreciate the feedback.

Good stuff! I especially liked the point about cherry picking which parts of the text are scientific and which are metaphorical.

The first two points definitely do lay out the contrast between how science works and how religion operates. However, if an ancient religious text was found with a detailed description of a well established scientific theory or principle that was completely unknown at the time and fantastically hard to discover or figure out with the limitations of the time period, I think I might count that as evidence towards a supernatural hypothesis of authorship. It wouldn't prove anything but it would definitely be interesting and worth investigating.

However, nothing in the Quran comes even close to this.
