Unlike Most Muslim Scientists, God Speaks Same Truth in and out of Mosques
By T.O. Shanavas for New Age Islam

Science has been
defined as, “a continuing effort to discover and increase human
knowledge and understanding through disciplined research. Using
controlled methods, scientists collect observable evidence of natural or
social phenomena, record measurable data relating to the observations,
and analyze this information to construct theoretical explanations of
how things work.”
Based upon this
definition, physicians, engineers, chemists, physicists, pharmacists,
sociologists, biologists, and many other professionals who utilize the
scientific method are called scientists. Unfortunately, many Muslims
among the scientific community lead a double life. In their professional
life they are true believers in science, but, when it comes to their
religious lives, they passionately reject many well-established
scientific theories such as theories related astronomy and its
application for moon-sighting, the theory of evolution and its
applications. They have a truth tell in the mosques and another for
their external professional lives. The old Latin expressions, “contra
evidential credo (I believe despite the evidence)” and credo quia evidentia (I believe because of evidence),” most accurately differentiate their dual lives.
