Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan on the 'Scientific Miracle'

The Shaykh delivered a lecture entitled ( وقفة مع قوله تعالى: هو الذي أنزل عليك الكتاب ) and was asked the following question therein:

هل علم الإعجاز العلمي في القرآن ، علم محدث أم لا ؟

Is the science (study) of the scientific miracle of the Qur'an an innovated science or not?

The Shaykh answered:

محدث ، الإعجاز العلمي هذا محدث ، قصدهم العلمي ما هو بالعلم الشرعي ،قصدهم الصناعي و الأفكار التي إعتمدوها من المخترعات وهذا علم دنيوي ولا يفسر به القرآن وهذا يخطئ ويصيب أيضاً ، فكيف يفسر القرآن بشيء عرضه للخطأ، عرضة للخطأ وعرضة عدم للصحة، لأنها أقوال الناس . نعم .

It is newly-invented (muhdath), this 'scientific miracle' is newly-invented. Their intent behind 'scientific (knowledge, study)' is not the legislative (Shar'iah) knowledge, their intent is applied science or the ideas they depend upon from the newly-invented things. And this is worldly knowledge, the Qur'an is not to be interpreted by way of it, because it can be right and wrong too. So how can the Qur'an be interpreted with something that is subject to error, subject to error and subject to absence of (being) sound, because they are from the sayings of men. Yes.
