I failed to understand how anything they quoted from the Koran really had anything to do with what they were explaining. The second quote 'man comes from allaq,' which it says is something that lives off of another, claims to explain the zygote latching onto the uterus wall. This actually sounds more like an ancient interpretation of the umbilical chord, but they use it anyway in a desperate attempt to make their holy book seem scientifically valid.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
