Science and Islam 6: Extraterrestrial Life, An Islamic Look

In March 2012, the American Islamic Congress announced the launch of unprecedented series of public debates on the intersection of Islam and science in the modern world. Titled “Science and Islam,” the series brought together renowned scholars and scientists to explore how today’s Muslims reconcile faith and science. Six dialogues have been held over the course of 4 years on the campuses of some of the best research universities in the United States addressing such issues as the origins of the Universe, Darwin’s Theory of Evolution, extraterrestrial life, the history and future of science and Islam. The series was implemented by AIC’s student-led initiative, Project Nur. “There is little public discussion on these topics, but exploring these issues is important for both Muslims and non-Muslims. The contributions made by Muslims to science is an important conversation to publically open, especially for students exploring these issues in their own lives,” said Shakir Mohammed, Project Nur Program Manager for AIC. “We want the Series to provide a forum and a road map for this much needed discussion and for recognition of the contributions Muslims have made to science both today and in previous centuries,” Mohammed added. The Science and Islam Series was funded by the John Templeton Foundation. Website: www.aicongress.org and www.projectnur.org
