It seems as if the Islamic science, as described within the Koran and the Hadiths have become a perpetual comeback, as they are claimed to be consistent with modern scientific prediction and observation.
It seems to me, that to the majority of modern Muslims, koranic and Hadith science has become the actual rescuing line from loosing faith.
As a matter of fact it has has become outmosth obvious that a range of Muslims propagate Islamic science as the last frontier of saving a severely challenged religion.
These scientific claims fall however short, as they are highly speculative, as Muslims scholars read a mountain of data into the text. Secondly, the context reveals, that fare from being modern in its prediction, the Koranic science describes an ancient science, which predates Islam with several centuries. Thirdly, and in line with the second point, the Koranic science is highly unscientific at least according to modern interpretation, which explains the use of ancient scientific philosophy.
The most challenging factor lays in the cosmological Koranic paradigm, in its description of a galactic sun-orbit. In other words, the sun and moon seem clearly to orbit the earth, and in the light of some Hadith passages, the stars as well.
“(God is) the one Who created the night, the day, the sun and the moon. Each one is travelling in an orbit with its own motion” (Sura 21: 33).
