| The Bible gives three other scientific facts; they are: | | | | American Association of Clinical Anatomists "for |
| 1. You do not know the path of the wind, | | | | outstanding contributions to the field of clinical |

| 3. It is good for the eyes to look at the sun. | | | | What Professor Keith L. Moore says about the |
| | | | | Embryology in the Quran? |
| On the other hand, it should be emphasized that | | | | |
| NONE of these three recommendations, NONE of | | | | "At first I was astonished by the accuracy of the |

| | | | | must have come to Muhammad from God, or Allah, |

| 1) The Bible denies Meteorology | | | | Allah." |
| The Bible says that man does not know the path of | | | | |
| the wind. | | | | |
| However, Meteorology is the interdisciplinary scientific | | | | The Bible, Ecclesiastes 11:1-7 |
| study of the atmosphere that focuses on weather | | | | American Standard Version |
| processes and forecasting including the path and | | | | |
| speed of the wind. | | | | 1 Cast thy bread upon the waters; for thou shalt find |
| | | | | it after many days. |
| 2) The Bible denies Embryology | | | | 2 Give a portion to seven, yea, even unto eight; for |
| The Bible says that man does not know how the | | | | thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth. |
| embryo's body and bones are formed in a mother's | | | | 3 If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves |

| embryo's organs in a mother's womb. | | | | 4 He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he |
| | | | | that regardeth the clouds shall not reap. |
| 3) Does the Bible aimed to blind us? | | | | 5 As thou knowest not what is the way of the wind, |
| The Bible says that it is good for the eyes to look at | | | | nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that |

| Herein is the golden rule: | | | | for the eyes to behold the sun. |
| Never, ever look directly at the Sun -- even during an | | | | |
| eclipse or at sunrise or sunset. The Sun emits | | | | |
