I know a bit of science. Linking it to Islam is the tricky bit. Didn't the old Islamic Philosophers try to do just that and a good number got denounced as deviants?

Times have changed brother. There is lots of realization in the deeni circles about the utility of science as well as a confidence that Islam and Muslims are capable of getting connected to science. The problem is just to implement. Obviously the trick is not to get embroiled in the old fruitless debates. The scientific frontier is one significant border where there is a need of some action. You'll remember I had requested you earlier about blogging about science related matters. If we leave a corner unguarded then soon it gets usurped by falsehood. Character of Islam is assertive and one road on which we should assert is the one that concerns sciences. I am sure you have read the posts at Hamzah Tzorsis thread where a card carrying atheist is replying to the comments of the brothers as if he is dealing with those who are scientifically illiterate. This situation will take some time to change scientific blogging is precisely the thing that is the need of the day. Please make you contributions however insignificant you find them yourself.
