THE QUR'AN AND SCIENCE, PART III: MAKERS OF THE SCIENTIFIC MIRACULOUSNESS

The last article of this three-part series on the Qur'an and science discusses the creation and development of the scientific miraculousness of the Qur'an, which claims that the Qur'an contains scientific findings and has particular scientific features, such as harmonious numerical analogies and formulae, that confirm the divine origin of the text. It became a political-theological tool used by Muslim preachers and activists across the globe. Unlike scientific interpreters of the Qur'an, advocates of scientific miraculousness were concerned with not only uniting Muslims and proving God's authority over the universe but also promoting the Qur'an as a mine of modern science, archaeology, and history, the authenticity of which is unchallengeable.
