Christianity VS. Science Vs. Islam and the Views on creation. Creation   Christianity The universe a vast endless Relm of space. The bible told christians how it was created. Science told a completely different way. Religion and Science have been fighting over this issue for hundreds of years. In the christians point of view everythin was created by god. (Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. [|(Genesis 2:1,2)])

Through the dark ages and the renaissance period of our world, the christian church had much leverage on the public. Scientist who studied the earth where prosecuted and kept silent about there discoveries. Astronomers such as Galileo where kept on house arrest for almost a third of there lives. Some of them where even tortured for there beliefs. The picture below shows a scientist being tortured under pope urban.

Science The scientists disagree with the church. They belive that over a long series of cosmic events such as the big bang that the earth was created. They have discovered this through hundreds of years of tests and studies through space. Science has discovered the theory of evolution (that all intelligent beings came from other beings and transformed over millions of years.). Scientists believe that Due to the lack of technology the only thing that scientists can not argue is the who or what created the big bang.

Islam The Muslim Qur'an has always is not as descriptive as the bible is in historical events. It tells of an all powerful being or the Muslim god. This quote is from the Qur'an "Verily in the heavens and the earth are signs for those who believe. And in the creation of yourselves, and the fact that animals are scattered (through the earth), are signs for those of assured faith. And in the alternation of night and day, and that fact that Allah sends down sustenance from the sky, and revives therewith the earth after its death, and in the change of the winds, are signs for those who are wise" (45:3-5). The discussion of creation is not a straight forward as other religious books. Basically the religion states that god created the earth.

Islam was not a harsh to scientists as the christian church. The Islam nation studied the philosophies of the scientists and there beliefs. That is why so many inventions came from Islam during the dark ages apposed to the christian dark ages where the Vatican had such control over the public.

Why it matters. The issue of religion and science has existed for thousands of years because science has always contradicted the beliefs of the religion. The Islamic religion did not care about the contradicting beliefs and gained knowledge by learning science. The christian has tried to brainwash and change the non-believers into believers. Would you want your religion trying to change people beliefs or would you like your religion learn about other beliefs.
