At the other end of the spectrum you have people like Winterhold whose incessant attempts to plaster over their faith with a veneer of pathetically unconvincing rationality bespeaks an enormous amount of cognitive dissonance. Their behavior strongly suggests that they're only holding onto belief by way of enormous effort to counteract and suppress facts that they find distressing and which sorely test their level of commitment.
Every time I find a verse in the Quran that applies to scientific concepts that we newly discovered in this age only, I have to share it. It is not due to my lack of belief; but it is due to the simple reminding that the Quran is the truth.
Look at this verse and you'll understand:
Quote:Sura 3, The Quran:
https://quran.com/3?startingVerse=191
(191)˹They are˺ those who remember Allah while standing, sitting, and lying on their sides, and reflect on the creation of the heavens and the earth ˹and pray˺, “Our Lord! You have not created ˹all of˺ this without purpose. Glory be to You! Protect us from the torment of the Fire.
