Religion Encourages Science

Everyone who probes the inner-workings of the universe, living and
non-living things, and considers and investigates what he sees around
him, will come to know God's superior wisdom, knowledge, and eternal
power. Some of the issues God invites man to ponder are pointed out in
the following verses form the Qur'an:
Do they not look at the sky above them? How We have made it and
adorned it, and there are no flaws in it? And the earth- We have
spread it out, and set thereon mountains standing firm, and produced
therein every kind of beautiful growth (in pairs)- To be observed and
commemorated by every devotee turning (to God). And We send
down from the sky rain charged with blessing, and We produce
therewith gardens and grain for harvests; And tall (and stately) palm-
trees, with shoots of fruit-stalks, piled one over another. (Surah Qaf:
6-10)
The signs of the existence of God, the Exalted Creator,
in the universe are clearly apparent to anyone who
thinks and uses his wisdom and follows his conscience.
