MOLECULAR GENETICS OF FETAL ORGANOGENESIS IN THE QURAN: TRACKING A MODERN CONCEPT IN AN ORIGINAL RELIGIOUS TEXT

Over the recent decades, science especially in the fields of medicine and molecular genetics has been developed with incredible extension and provide us the huge bulk of new concepts in biological phenomena and all these findings result in discovering the mysteries of life more deeply. A distinct and valuable aspect of these investigations would be tracking of these newly discovered themes in original religious records. The Qur'an as an original religious text had pointed so many times to the creation of human beings and its complex process by specification. These considerations and discussions have many things in common with newly found scientific facts. This paper is a brief study between these two apparently different discussions which shows the high similarities between the facts about organogenesis stages in scientific texts with its counterpart descriptions in the Quran.
