Professor and Chairman of the Department of Anatomy and Developmental Biology, and Director of the Daniel Baugh Institute, Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.



Interview with Prof. Johnson.


Author of over 200 publications. Former President of the Teratology Society among other accomplishments. Professor Johnson began to take an interest in the scientific signs in the Qur'ân at the 7th Saudi Medical Conference (1982), when a special committee was formed to investigate scientific signs in the Qur'ân and Hadîth. At first, Professor Johnson refused to accept the existence of such verses in the Qur'ân and Hadîth. But after a dicussuion with Sheikh Zindanî he took an interest and concentrated his research on the internal as well as external development of the fetus.



Interview with Prof. Johnson."...in summary, the Qur'ân describes not only the development of external form, but emphasises also the internal stages, the stages inside the embryo, of its creation and development, emphasising major events recognised by contemporary science."

"As a scientist, I can only deal with things which I can specifically see. I can understand embryology and developmental biology. I can understand the words that are translated to me from the Qur'ân. As I gave the example before, if I were to transpose myself into that era, knowing what I do today and describing things, I could not describe the things that were described...

I see no evidence to refute the concept that this individual Muhammad had to be developing this information from some place... so I see nothing here in conflict with the concept that divine intervention was involved in what he was able to write..."

Keith L. Moore

Professor Emeritus, Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology, University of Toronto. Distinguished embryologist and the author of several medical textbooks, including Clinically Oriented Anatomy (3rd Edition) and The Developing Human (5th Edition, with T.V.N. Persaud).



Prof. Moore presenting his research in Cairo.

Investigations in to the 'alaqa or leech-like stage.

Dr. Moore was a former President of the Canadian Association of Anatomists, and of the American Association of Clinical Anatomists. He was honoured by the Canadian Association of Anatomists with the prestigious J.C.B. Grant Award and in 1994 he received the Honoured Member Award of the American Association of Clinical Anatomists "for outstanding contributions to the field of clinical anatomy."



Pro. Moore investigating the 'alaqah or leech stage."For the past three years, I have worked with the Embryology Committee of King cAbdulazîz University in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, helping them to interpret the many statements in the Qur'ân and Sunnah referring to human reproduction and prenatal development. At first I was astonished by the accuracy of the statements that were recorded in the 7th century AD, before the science of embryology was established. Although I was aware of the glorious history of Muslim scientists in the 10th century AD, and some of their contributions to Medicine, I knew nothing about the religious facts and beliefs contained in the Qur'ân and Sunnah."

At a conference in Cairo he presented a research paper and stated:

"It has been a great pleasure for me to help clarify statements in the Qur'ân about human development. It is clear to me that these statements must have come to Muhammad from God, or Allah, because most of this knowledge was not discovered until many centuries later. This proves to me that Muhammad must have been a messenger of God, or Allah."

Investigations into the leech stage.Professor Moore also stated that:

"...Because the staging of human embryos is complex, owing to the continuous process of change during development, it is proposed that a new system of classification could be developed using the terms mentioned in the Qur'ân and Sunnah. The proposed system is simple, comprehensive, and conforms with present embryological knowledge.

"The intensive studies of the Qur'ân and Hadîth in the last four years have revealed a system of classifying human embryos that is amazing since it was recorded in the seventh century A.D... the descriptions in the Qur'ân cannot be based on scientific knowledge in the seventh century..."

when u go through the profiles of cs members,u find that everyone wrote very nice describtion of her or himself,thats the bright side ofcourse,but how about the dark side,how does it look like,my suggestion is that we should write a list of advantages&disadvantages so there will be a sort of mix&match.

Oswald Chambers: He who believes in Me.... out of his heart will flow rivers of living water------and hundreds of other lives will be continually refreshed.

John 21:15 "Yes Lord," he said," you know that I love you." Jesus said, "Feed my lambs."

There always comes a time in history someone has to restore a lot of damage confused stumbling blocks seem to can't get. Instead of going off the hearsay of men, it's a smart thing to know your Lord personally. Reality is everyone has different shoes and experiences in life, so a solution to I'm right your wrong is the same page and that's beginning your faith in His and Love and keeping it there.

Jesus came to lighten the load in life in His Love, He did not come to test us, He did not come to torment us, and He did not come to make us insane to a point your scared to talk. I've had losers and low life's use my faith to cripple me, when I defend myself the loser's say is that what Jesus would do?? That makes me soooo mad, just a evil and a lowness I can't understand, hey maybe I will one day not today.

So now it's a use your faith as a weakness to use and abuse you and whatever else, sad thing is these low life's think they still get heaven, good luck with that, going to need it. I don't need to be a bum kisser to men and women to show the Love of God, as long as my character and track record consists of being a trustworthy person you can depend on my niceness isn't needed.

I don't choose to be mean, I just see it necessary with a lot of people some people don't believe crap stinks until you stick it in their face. This anything goes passive Gospel God is offended and doesn't need your passive hurting mankind views in His ways. He simply wants us to lead people to His love and he will do the rest. The Love of God (((Holy Spirit))) gives us a new conscience and mind in Christ, and the more you apply that the better you are.

No need to get extreme, no need to get nutty, really no need in getting mad or committing hate crimes. It's as simple as this and ends here, if you are in His Love your are in His protection and no one can judge you NO ONE. If you are not well, your all alone against the forces of hell. Is that a smart choice??? Hey that's your choice, don't blame the Lord when the evil life isn't getting you any where any longer.

Being Jesus to others is leading them to the Love of the Lord, and being a helping hand to those who want better, and not use the kindness of others as weakness or use.com. And Believers a way to discern that is in the Love of Christ, it's that simple. Bible says cling to good, and to hate evil, it's a choice and like everyone else, choose evil get the cost it brings.
Jesus said drink this water and Live
it's that simple
