Express Tribune: by Danish Shah: The argument begins with this question: why should science and religion be kept separate? The answer depends on what you believe; however, let me present my case in favour of the separation of science and religion.
Science is the study of nature and how it functions. The beauty of science is that when a theory is presented, scientists of that field do not immediately agree with the theoretical claims. Rather, they put the theory to intensive criticism and tests. In many cases, the theories are disproved on the basis of counter evidence or errors that are deduced. If the scientists are unable to produce counter evidence or sufficient flaws in the theory, then supportive evidence is analysed, keeping in mind that the plausibility of a theory depends on the number of supportive empirical evidences provided by researchers.
In contrast, religion is entirely based on dogmas, which in most cases cannot be denied, questioned, critiqued or revoked.
The real problem arises when religious scholars start claiming new scientific discoveries as something that had been ‘revealed’ to them thousands of years ago. However, this claim takes place only when the scientific discoveries are compatible with their held beliefs. If the new discoveries, regardless of their significance, are contradictory to their beliefs, the theory is out rightly opposed and most of the time its researchers are persecuted, banished, and shunned. For example, when Galileo supported the Copernican theory through his research and study, he was charged with heresy and was persecuted. He was later forced to withdraw his support for the theory in exchange of a less harsh prison sentence.

Let us keep on research to find the truth as much as we can. Thank you.
Can our ‘truth finder’, above, while reading all these books he’s mentioned, also read our Jama’at books, too, please?
He will find that The Promised Messiah and Mahdi has already come – over a hundred years ago, in fact and ON TIME, too, as had been prophesied in the Holy Qur’an and Hadith.
But, we, as Muslims have been enjoined to acquire knowledge as much as we can for this will lead us to the truth. After all ‘Iqra’ also means read and therefore this will in turn lead us to a staunch belief in our Maker, Creator, Ruler of All the Worlds, etc. That is the more we know, the more we will, Insha’Allah, believe.
Raziya, sorry to say this, but no religion has any answers (be it Ahmadiyya islam or christianity or judaism or whatever), and that was the point of this article. Let the scientists do their job in searching for the truth without any preconceived notions of there being a supernatural being. So far they’ve done a pretty impressive job with religious interferences, but the time is now to stop this interference and let them fully spread their wings! We can only imagine how impressive those results are going to be.
