Stephen Hawking, the founder of bigbang theory dies aged 76, most probably as an atheist. He had openly revealed his disblief in God in his recent speeches. However his discovery of bigbang was regarded as a proof for the creation of universe by God as it is described in Torah and Quran by the religious enviroment. All the universe came from almost nothing spontaneously. According to Quran when Allah decrees something to be He says to it “Be” and it is.
On the other hand, it seems that, this again proves that no scientific discovery proves or disproves the existance of God. It is all about conscience but not science.
no I dont think it should have been taken down by Tedx (that have some real bad stuff on there) - its strange that you see the line between Pseudoscience and normal science so clear, when it clearly isnt. New ideas should be pushed into science that is how we get Paradigm shifts and new ways of understanding the universe around us. Just look at the history of science.
Recently I was reading an article and it sounded similar to what Sheldrake was selling.
They merely:
Veiled themselves and didn't flaunt it
Sought forgiveness and didn't persist
Took ownership of it and don't justify it
And acted with excellence after they had erred - Ibn al-Qayyim
I'm here to learn about Islam, and I've been lucky enough to do so for over a decade now.
Me too, my intentions have always been to search for greater interfaith relations, the same God hears all our prayers.
Forgiveness is a profound subject in Islam, to forgive someone who has wronged you, seems to go against human nature, but it is where we heal our wounds and it brings us closer to God. If you have an hour and a half spare, can I suggest you watch this video on forgiveness, posted by aamifi on this forum a couple of days ago. Mufti Menk explores forgiveness in some extreme ways, I watched in in two sittings, there is some Arabic but repeated in English.

I've read Thomas Kuhn and I'm familiar with the idea of paradigm shifts in science. The crucial point you're missing is that an idea needs good supporting evidence in order to become part of science, and then perhaps it will initiate a paradigm shift.

That is a philosophy essay. The author does not claim he has made a new discovery in science, like Sheldrake does. Thank you for providing a perfect example to illustrate the difference.
