Well, are there?

Yes?

I'm a Muslim. Why are you asking?

I´m also muslim.

I want to know something. Just pure interest.

There are several fractions of Christianity, so i assume there are several fractions of Muslims aswell?

Some Christians consider Science to be Devils work and believe NOTHING science tells us, while others do. Some believe only the Bible is right while others say Maybe God might have pushed into the directions science tells us.

My question is, what do muslims believe? Do you believe in sciennce and if so, how do the contradictions to the Quran make you feel? And if not, how do you explain the things science has proven to be right?

Yeah, there are several (may say even a lot of) fractions (directions) in Islam as well.
We believe in one God (Allah) and all his prophets (Muhammad (s.a.a.w.) and all prophets before him and that all of them were human being as we are).
We believe in all Holly books (Quran an all books which were before it). We also believe in science, our religion tells us, to learn as much as possible.
But to learn not only science, but everything you can (which isn't sin of course), Islam says that religion is science and science is a religion as well.
About things which are proven by science, there are a lot of thing which were mentioned long time ago in Quran, are proved by science nowadays.
For example:





This was taken from:
Miracle of The Quran on Seas and Rivers
As you can see, there is no much dispute between Islam and science.

Yes, there are different factions of the Islamic religion. The two biggest denominations of Islam are Shia Islam and Sunni Islam, although there are a few minor ones and of course there are some non-denominational Muslims out there that I don't know much about. There varying degrees of Muslims, just like all other religions, too; i.e. there are both radical Muslims and moderate Muslims. As far as I know, all of the Muslims on this forum are moderate. (please correct me if I'm wrong)

Also as just a note (in reply to your assertion that science and religion contradict each other), it's always been my understanding that science and religion don't conflict as much as people think they do. On the contrary, science is simply a shared understanding of what humanity truly knows about the universe and religion is the grounded understanding that we have all decided for ourselves that allows us to fill in the real mysteries of the universe. The former (science) is therefore built on the latter (religion). It is also my understanding that (macro) evolution is not fact, since it doesn't have enough evidence to back itself up to be considered such. As it is, it's just the adopted belief of most modern scientists today.

For the record, I myself *do* believe in evolution to a certain point. There's no denying things like natural selection and micro evolution, in fact we have a lot of evidence and centuries of research that support those two things. They don't conflict with any creationist belief, so most Christians are actually happy to understand and believe these things. However, right now we don't have enough evidence for macro evolution to be considered fact. The little evidence we have uncovered so far can really go both ways depending upon your own base understanding, so in it's current state macro evolution doesn't prove any creation-based religion right or wrong.

Actually, and this is a tangent, but the supporters of evolution today still don't have much information as to how a creature could actually gain DNA information over time. The most popular idea so far is that the DNA of a creature will change when subjected to certain kinds of radiation, but we've never witnessed this in the real world and all of our studies so far have concluded that mutation of a creature's DNA will only result in lost information.

Anyway, enough of my rambling. Yes, there are multiple factions of Islam, just like Christianity.

(I had some reservations about posting this. I really don't want to start any off-topic arguments, I don't have time for that. But if anyone wants to say anything to me that does NOT regard Islam, feel free to do so in another thread.)

Just curious. I always wondered how much Christian and Muslim belief differ, e.g. what's your highest commandments?

Here you go bro:
The Ten Commandments

Where do you place them? In the bible the 10 commandments are in the old testament, while Jesus sais in the new one that there are two more important ones: love your next and love god.
