This is called a drowning man's syndrome. It is totally laughable to think that a book that has been crafted some fourteen hundreds years ago would contain scientific revelations that nobody has figured out yet. Salam was a great scientist but he compartmentalized his science from his personal beliefs.

No one can say with certainty that there are 6,666 verses in the Quran.How can the Quran contain 750 science-related verses, when it says, "Believers are those who believein the Unseen"?Mohammad Asghar-----Original Message-----

Lousy essay, cheaply recycled.
I met Shamsher Ali when he was a visitor at the International Centre for
Theoretical Physics in Trieste about 25 years ago. He was well known among
other visitors for sucking up to the director, Prof Abdus Salam.
Unfortunately Salam had a weakness for such characters.
No one had heard of Shamsher Ali ever giving a physics talk but somehow he
thinks he can pontificate on grand issues while saying he is a physicist.
Out of 6666 'Ayats' in the Holy Quran, almost 750 relate to science and
technology
He took that straight out of Salam's writings. I'm still looking for those
750 verses.
