Zapravo suma sumarum onoga što sam ja htio reći jeste da nije svaka religija suprotstavljena empirijskom promatranju Univerzuma, za razliku od KC-a, te da recimo islam zabranjuje neempirijsko objašnjenje prirodnih pojava i praznovjerje, koje ide uz takve pojave. To se lako može ilustrirati, recimo, textom iz Wikipedie:
Islam and astronomy
Islam has affected astronomy directly and indirectly. A major impetus for the flowering of astronomy in Islam came from religious observances, which presented an assortment of problems in mathematical astronomy, specifically in spherical geometry.[1]
[edit] Background
In the 7th century, both Christians and Jews observed holy days, such as Easter and Passover, whose timing was determined by the phases of the moon. Both communities had confronted the fact that the approximately 29.5-day lunar months are not commensurable with the 365-day solar year. To solve the problem, Christians and Jews had adopted a scheme based on a discovery made in circa 430 BC by the Athenian astronomer Meton. In the 19-year Metonic cycle, there were 12 years of 12 lunar months and seven years of 13 lunar months. The periodic insertion of a 13th month kept calendar dates in step with the seasons.[1]
On the other hand, astronomers used Ptolemy's way to calculate the place of the moon and stars. The method Ptolemy used to solve spherical triangles was a clumsy one devised late in the first century by Menelaus of Alexandria. It involved setting up two intersecting right triangles; by applying Menelaus' theorem it was possible to solve one of the six sides, but only if the other five sides were known. To tell the time from the sun's altitude, for instance, repeated applications of Menelaus' theorem were required. For medieval Islamic astronomers, there was an obvious challenge to find a simpler trigonometric method.[1]
[edit] Islamic attitude towards astronomy
Islam advised Muslims to find ways of using the stars. The Qur'an says: "And it is He who ordained the stars for you that you may be guided thereby in the darkness of the land and the sea."[9] On the basis of this advice Muslim began to find better observational and navigational instruments, thus most navigational stars today have Arabic names.[1]
Other influences of the Qur'an on Islamic astronomy included its "insistence that the Universe is ruled by a single set of laws" which was "rooted in the Islamic concept of tawhîd, the unity of God", as well its "greater respect for empirical data than was common in the preceding Greek civilization" which inspired Muslims to place a greater emphasis on empirical observation,[10] in contrast to ancient Greek philosophers such as the Platonists and Aristotelians who expressed a general distrust towards the senses and instead viewed reason alone as being sufficient to understanding nature. The Qur'an's insistence on observation, reason and contemplation ("see", "think" and "contemplate"), on the other hand, led Muslims to develop an early scientific method based on these principles, particularly empirical observation. Muhammad Iqbal writes:[11]
“The general empirical attitude of the Qur'an which engendered in its followers a feeling of reverence for the klix, and ultimately made them the founders of modern science. It was a great point to awaken the empirical spirit in an age that renounced the visible as of no value in men's search after God.”
There are also several cosmological verses in the Qur'an (610-632) which some modern writers have interpreted as foreshadowing the expansion of the universe and possibly even the Big Bang theory:[12]
Don't those who reject faith see that the heavens and the earth were a single entity then We ripped them apart?[13]
And the heavens We did create with Our Hands, and We do cause it to expand.Qur'an 51:47
Several hadiths attributed to Muhammad also show that he was generally opposed to astrology as well as superstition in general.
An example of this is when an eclipse occurred during his son Ibrahim ibn Muhammad's death, and rumours began spreading about this being God's personal condolence. Muhammad is said to have replied:[14]
"An eclipse is a phenomenon of nature. It is foolish to attribute such things to the death or birth of a human being."
Evo link, pa neka svako ko je zainteresiran pogleda zašto i kako su se islamski naučnici bavili astronomijom:

Dakle - bilo kakav extreman pristup: teističko dogmatski utemeljen na apologetici sveštenstva ili agresivno ateistički utemeljen na apologetici ateizma nanose nauci jednaku štetu. Najbolji put je onaj srednji.
