 Professor Kroner
is one of the world's most famous geologists, becoming well known among his
colleague scientists for his criticisms against the theories of some of the
major scientists in his field. Sheikh cAbdul-Majeed A. Zindanī
met with him and presented several Qur'ānic verses and Hadīth which
he studied and commented upon.

"Thinking
where Muhammad came from... I think it is almost impossible that he
could have known about things like the common origin of the universe, because
scientists have only found out within the last few years with very
complicated and advanced technological methods that this is the case."
"Somebody who did not know something about nuclear physics 1400 years
ago could not, I think, be in a position to find out from his own mind for
instance that the earth and the heavens had the same origin, or many others
of the questions that we have discussed here...
If you combine all these and you combine all these statements that are being
made in the Qur'ān in terms that relate to the earth and the formation of the
earth and science in general, you can basically say that statements made
there in many ways are true, they can now be confirmed by scientific methods,
and in a way, you can say that the Qur'ān is a simple science text book for
the simple man. And that many of the statements made in there at that time
could not be proven, but that modern scientific methods are now in a position
to prove what Muhammad said 1400 years ago."
