This open access book addresses the question of how God can providentially govern apparently ungovernable randomness. Medieval theologians confidently held that God is provident, that is, God is the ultimate cause of or is responsible for everything that happens. However, scientific advances since the 19th century pose serious challenges to traditional views of providence. From Darwinian evolution to quantum mechanics, randomness has become an essential part of the scientific worldview. An interdisciplinary team of Muslim, Christian and Jewish scholars—biologists, physicists, philosophers and theologians—addresses questions of randomness and providence.
Quantum theory has shaken our understanding of the universe to its deepest foundations. Quantum theory raises deep and profound scientific, philosophical and theological issues. Consider several scientific issues: Is quantum indeterminism ontological (a reflection of reality) or epistemological (a reflection of human ignorance)? Does the universe have a place for chance? What is the famous Bohr-Einstein debate? Who won? What is Schrödinger’s famous cat and what does it teach us? Some philosophical issues: How do our metaphysical commitments affect the interpretation of quantum theory? How, given quantum theory, should we understand the laws of nature? What are the implications of quantum ...
This first Element in the series Islam and the Sciences is introductory and aims to give readers a general overview of the wide and rich scope of interactions of Islam with the sciences, including past disputes, current challenges, and future outlooks. The Element introduces the main voices and schools of thought, adopting a historical approach to show the evolution of the debates: Khan's naturalism, al-Jisr's hermeneutics, Abduh's modernist Islam, Nasr's perennialist and sacred science, al-Attas's Islamic science, Sardar and the Ijmalis' ethical science, al-Faruqi's Islamization of knowledge/science, Bucaille's and El-Naggar's 'miraculous scientific content in the Qur'an,' Abdus Salam's universal science, Hoodbhoy's and Edis's secularism, and the harmonization of the 'new generation.' The Element also maps out new and emerging topics that are beginning to reignite the debates, before a concluding section examines how issues of Islam and Science are playing out in the media, in public discourse and in education.
The sequence of the formation of the universe, including Big-Bang stage, quantum cosmology, quarks and leptons stage, Inflation stage, hadrons stage and atomic nuclei stage are described in the book. Before we examine universe, its important to understand topics such as matter and antimatter, grand unified theory, the Higgs Boson, Feynman diagram, and Supersymmetry which are also discussed here. The mystery of the universe is how the dark energy and dark matter affect the universe expansion. The universe has 70% dark energy and 25% of dark matter. The mystery is that the visible matter is only 5%. In the traditional view of the religion, the world is merely five and a half thousand years old and was created in six days. Science suggests that the world is billions of years old. In this book, we used Euler method, angular momentum, and gravitational attraction to prove that the religion is reinforced over science. Mathematically, all results showed bias in favour of religions.
Judgment on whether God exists or not has a profound impact on our perception of ourselves, our beloved ones, the earth and the entire universe. “Why do I exist?” “Where did it all come from?” “Why are we here?” “What will happen to us after we die?” These, and all similar ontological and existential questions, have answers linked to this judgment. The existence of God also brings about the important implications such as conscious creation of mankind and all beings, meaning and purposefulness of existence, and possibility of life after death if God wishes. While reading this book, always keep in mind that our main concern is this critical subject of the existence of God, as t...
Bu eser, gençlerin modern dünyada karşılaştığı dini, ahlaki ve toplumsal sorunları mercek altına alarak, bu sorunların kökenlerine iniyor. Gençlerin zihinlerindeki çalkantılar, aile ve toplumun bu süreçteki rolü, dinin dinamik yapısıyla harmanlanarak ele alınıyor. Günümüz gençlerinin “araf”ta kalma durumu; aile, eğitim ve toplumdan kaynaklanan yanlışlar, ayrıştırıcı din dili, yanlış din sunumu, dini ve kültürel birikimi toptan kabul ya da toptan ret anlayışından kaynaklanan bir sorun olarak değerlendiriliyor ve bu sorunun üstesinden nasıl gelineceği konusunda rehberlik sağlıyor. Eser, gençlerin dini ve ahlaki konularda karşılaştığı sorulara akıl, vahiy, bilim çerçevesinde cevaplar sunuyor. Zihinlerdeki şüphelerin giderilmesi ve sağlıklı bir inanç yapısının oluşturulması için gerekli yöntemler üzerinde duruluyor. Eser hem gençler hem de onların dünyalarını anlamaya çalışan aileler ve eğitimciler için bir rehber niteliğinde. İnanç yolculuğunun zorlu süreçlerinde gençlere, manevi ve ahlaki değerleri içselleştirebilmeleri için doğru yön ve yöntem konusunda kılavuzluk yapıyor.

Kuşkusuz kelâm belli bir tarihsel gerçeklik ve zaman dilimine bağlı olarak doğup gelişen beşeri bir disiplin olma özelliği taşımaktadır. Bu bağlamda ilk olarak halifelik, irade hürriyeti, iman-amel münasebeti gibi İslâm tarihine özgü dînî, siyasi ve sosyal problemlere çözüm üretme gayreti ile VIII. yüzyılın başlarında ortaya çıkan bu ilim; İslâmın yayıldığı yerlerde karşılaşılan farklı kültür ve medeniyetlerle etkileşim sonucu oluşan ihtiyaçlara bağlı olarak tarihi süreç içinde konu ve metot yönünden çeşitli dönüşümler geçirmiştir. Özellikle VIII. yüzyılın sonlarından itibaren doğa felsefesi ve bilgi teorisine dair konula...
No scientific issue has aroused so much public attention in recent years as the “God Particle” (the Higgs boson) and the related experiments conducted at the laboratories of CERN. In this booklet, first this particle and the related CERN experiments will be briefly described. Next, the erroneous views that this particle proves or disproves the existence of God will be critiqued. Then, an analogy between this particle and the hiddenness of God will be established. In addition, the philosophical implications of the comprehension of the universe by the human mind, through mathematics, will be touched upon. Lastly, the question as to whether or not all the fundamental problems of Physics are resolved with this discovery, and the limits of science, will be discussed.
Türkiye'de 90'lı yıllarla birlikte özel televizyon kanalları hayatımıza girdi ve televizyonlardaki dini yayıncılık anlayışı resmi ideolojiden sıyrılarak zaman içinde değişim geçirdi. Özellikle tematik kanalların kurulması ile birlikte daha önce yer verilmeyen ya da sınırlı bir şekilde yer verilen dini içerikli programlar televizyonlarda yer almaya başladı. Toplumun önemli bir ihtiyacını karşıladığı görülen bu programlarda yer alan vaizler öyle ilgi gördü ki program konuğu olmaktan sunuculuğa, tematik kanallardan merkez medyaya transfer oldular. Kendi hayran kitleleri, takipçileri olmaya başladı. Konuk oldukları tüm platformlarda bir star gibi...
