@eshnish Albert Einstein "Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."

This was neat.  Thanks!

@gulfland Scary that you are actually participating in science, but still foment that kind of fantasy. The people that try to tie the Qur'an to anything scientific need to learn the words "prescientific thought and myth of origin" and "headslapping goofiness." Can't you just accept it as religion? I can't take any of you people seriously in my Ochem or biochem. You think the only reason two hydrogens attach themselves to oxygen is that Allah wills it each and every time...no natural law.
