Huff Post: As we leave the season when many have celebrated the birth of “The son of G_d”, perhaps we might momentarily stop our shopping mall worship ceremonies and ask if “G_d” exists and, if so, who or what he/she/it is.
I believe that science answered that question back at the beginning of the 20th Century and that Albert Einstein and mathematics proved, irrefutably, that there is a precisely quantifiable quantity of energy in the Universe that is even more vast, powerful and awesome than any religion’s current definition of G_d … a quantity of “Force” or “G_d Force” or “Nature” or “Energy” that is so mind-blowing it dwarfs even the grandest conventional imaginations of “the power of G_d”.
And, scientifically verifiable and without dispute.
What Einstein figured out represents a Force of such magnitude as to make any thinking person fall to his knees, regardless of the definition … a Force so vast that not one person, our neighborhood Priest, Imam or Rabbi, Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck or even The Pope himself can truly understand it or credibly say they can explain it.
And yet this new definition of the non-definable (thus the funny way of writing it — as it cannot be contained within or accurately represented by a three letter word) is actually best represented, with scientific accuracy, in a three letter and one number mathematical formula … a formula that, appropriately, is the most famous in history.
E=MC2
This most cited and powerful equation is also, ironically, one that causes all of G_d’s earthly creation to be seconds away from complete annihilation at any moment in time, as it was the source of the secret of the power of the atom and the development of the atomic bomb.

Dr Abdus Salam had very clear vision about Religious believes and science.
He mentioned that God and existence of God has nothing to do with science.
He accepted that he believes in God but through his belief system.
Sometime people try to get support from science to present their faith as a scientific one, which may not necessarily be needed.
People donot accept faith as a result of scientific experiment but just believe on it.
mmm … I am not so sure. I thought that Prof. Salam did say that he sees Allah’s purpose in all of science. (any one can help me to look up the reference?)
Dear brother Rafiq, Dr. Salam’s Nobel speech talks of it.
yes both faith and science are important. science is the human endeavour of understanding the natural laws created by Allah.
however i do stress that belief in Allah and His revelations is more emphasised and that there r some aspects of belief that cant be scientifically proven since its not based upon the natural laws apparent to humanity, for e.g. hereafter, angels, jinns, heaven and hell…..
thus there r miracles since there are systems that are beyond human comprehension.
The Quran is the word of Allah and the science is the work of Allah. There cannot be any difference in the work (principles, Kaam) of Allah and the word (kalaam)of Allah.
yes quran is the book of Allah and the creation is the work of Allah.
Allah has power over all things and He can do what He wills which is beyond our comprehension.
There r miracles mentioned in the Quran and sunnah.
chapter 13 verse 38: “And it was not for a messenger to come with a sign except by permission of Allah . For every term is a decree.”
The Quran informs us about many miracles/evidences (aya/beyyinat) given to previous messengers, as extraordinary evidences for their extraordinary
claims.
Below is a list of miracles/signs mentioned in the Quran:
Moses causes 12 springs to gush forth (2:60).
A man dies and is resurrected after 100 years
(2:259).
Abraham kills four birds and brings them back
to life (2:260).
Zechariah’s wife gives birth while infertile
(3:40).
Mary gives birth while being a virgin (3:47).
Jesus heals the blind, lepers by the permission of Allah (3:49).
Angels descend to fight alongside the
prophet (3:125).
Allah speaks to Moses (4:164).
Jesus brings down a feast from heaven (5:112).
Moses turns his staff into a serpent (7:107).
Moses’ hand becomes pure white (7:108).
Abraham’s wife gives birth while beyond menstruation
(11:72).
The sleepers of the cave survive many years in
sleep (18:25).
Abraham survives being burned alive by the fire
turning cold (21:69).
Solomon commands the winds (21:81).
Moses parts the sea and saves the Children of
Israel (26:63).
Solomon speaks to the birds (27:16).
Solomon moves a palace across time and space
(27:40).
The moon was split [54:1]
also the holy prophet’s night journey is a miracle
