Pervez Hoodbhoy
“An Islamic scientist describes his conception of how the universe began and will end. making an analogy with the passage of electricity in a wire. At the beginning there was disorder in the World of Spirits, just as electrons are disordered in a conductor. Then .... And finally. the soul is radiated into the Final World just like an electron radiates off electromagnetic waves.”
Pervez Hoodbhoy, Islam and Science: Religious Orthodoxy and the Battle for Rationality

“The new Islamic science, like Creationism in the West, is a reaction against modern science. It is not a new direction of science.”
