*"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'? 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..." (Professor and Chairman of the Department of Anatomy and Developmental Biology, and Director of the Daniel Baugh Institute, Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA)

*"... these Had?s (sayings of Muhammad) could not have been obtained on the basis of the scientific knowledge that was available at the time of the 'writer'... It follows that not only is there no conflict between genetics and religion (Isl? but in fact religion (Isl? may guide science by adding revelation to some of the traditional scientific approaches... There exist statements in the Qur'?shown centuries later to be valid which support knowledge in the Qur'?having been derived from God." (Professor and Chairman of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, USA.)

*"I say, I am very much impressed by finding true astronomical facts in Qur'? and for us modern astronomers have been studying very small piece of the universe. We have concentrated our efforts for understanding of very small part. Because by using telescopes, we can see only very few parts of the sky without thinking about the whole universe. So by reading Qur'?and by answering to the questions, I think I can find my future way for investigation of the universe." (Yushidi Kusan, Director of the Tokyo Observatory, Tokyo, Japan.)

*"In the last three years, I became interested in the Qur'?.. From my studies and what I have learned throughout this conference, I believe that everything that has been recorded in the Qur'? fourteen hundred years ago must be the truth, that can be proved by the scientific means."(Chairman of the Department of Anatomy and is the former Dean of the faculty of Medicine, University of Chiang Mai, Chiang Mai, Thailand.)
