Maurice Bucaille
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Maurice Bucaille (born July 19, 1920-1998[1]) in Pont-L’Eveque, France; son of Maurice and Marie (James) Bucaille[2] was a French medical doctor, member of the French Society of Egyptology, and author. Bucaille practiced medicine from 1945-82 and was a specialist in gastroenterology.[2] In 1973, Bucaille was appointed family physician to King Faisal of Saudi Arabia. Other of his patients at the time included members of the family of President Anwar Sadat of Egypt.[3] In 1976, while still in the service of the king, he published his book, The Bible, The Qur’an and Science which argued that the Qur’an contains no statements contradicting established scientific fact[4]. In 1991, another book by Bucaille, Mummies of the Pharaos: Modern Medical Investigations, was published in English.Contents [hide]

In his book, The Bible, The Qur’an and Science,[5] Bucaille aims to prove the Qur’an is in agreement with scientific facts, while the Bible is not. He claims that in Islam, science and religion have always been “twin sisters” (vii). According to Bucaille, there are monumental errors of science in the Bible and not a single error in the Quran (120), whose descriptions of natural phenomena make it compatible with modern science. Bucaille concludes that the Qur’an is the reliable word of God.

Bucaille argues that the Old Testament should have been distorted because of numerous translations and corrections as it was transmitted orally. He highlights, in his words, “numerous disagreements and repetitions”, in the Old Testament (12) and the Gospels (85, 95). In his analysis, Bucaille claims he makes use of many propositions of Biblical criticism, such as the Documentary hypothesis.

With regard to the Qu’ran, Bucaille however followed the Islamic tradition that the Quranic scrolls are said to be collected during Muhammad’s lifetime and were deemed accurate by the archangel Gabriel himself (132).

the answer it is so simply. you have firstly to look to the age of the foraoh…!I mean the eve of the all foraohs. a lot of things where discovered only in the last 300 hundred years, and

the answer it is so simply. you have firstly to look to the age of the foraoh…!I mean the eve of the all foraohs. a lot of things where discovered only in the last 300 hundred years, and maybe some others are not discoverd yet. and this is make the last asked questions without anysens… ther still things hidden and maybe it can nevr be discovered. from the other side as a scientist a lot of notions of sciences are discovering day by day, this means that the things can be discovered at enytime, and there is no mean to the time elapnsed to discover or not this things. thank you a lto to all.

How can a book existed 1400 years ago speak about the mummy that was only found 200 years ago, in 1898??!!

Its less than 100 years, right?

The Book was published in 1976. So, logically Dr Bucaille may not know about what’s written in Quran about Pharaohs at that time (1975)

thank you for this enlightments. it was really interesting.
But i would like to draw your attention to some errors that occured in your story:
1st error, the simple one, is the name of France prsident: franciso mitra! the exact name is: François Mitterand.
2nd error is about the book of Dr Bucaille: “la bible, le coran et la science”. It was written in the bigining of the seventies (i think in 1971). So logically, he would know at that time the content of Quran and may be the story os Pharaoh!

kind regards.
