Top Scientists Embraced Islam (2) Professor E. M. Johnson
This is the second Scientist in the series of Top Christian Scientists who embraced Islam.
More than 1400 years ago, the Quran revealed some 1000 scientific facts which were discovered only in the last 100 years.
These scientific facts which are mentioned in the Quran led many of the Top Scientists to embrace Islam and to convert willingly from Christianity to Islam.
Who is Professor E. M. Johnson?
Professor E. Marshall Johnson is the Chairman of the Department of Anatomy and Developmental Biology, and
Director of the Daniel Baugh Institute, Thomas Jefferson University,
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.
He is an Author of over 200 publications.
He is the Former President of the Teratology Society among other accomplishments.
Professor Johnson began to take an interest in the scientific signs in the Quran at the 7th Saudi Medical Conference (1982), when a special committee was formed to discuss the scientific verses in the Quran.
At first, Professor Johnson refused to accept the existence of such verses in the Quran.
Upon reading the Quran, he took an interest and concentrated his research on the internal as well as external development of the fetus.
Professor Johnson said:
"the Quran describes not only the development of external form, but emphasizes also the internal stages, the stages inside the embryo, of its creation and development, emphasizing major events recognized by contemporary science."
"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 Quran. 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"
