Anyone else impressed with Ptolemy's model of the cosmos?

I am pretty impressed with Ptolemy's model of the universe. For his time and his equipment it's very accurate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Theboywiththednatattoo (talk • contribs) 18:20, 3 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Islamic Science

Hi Paul, here was the information on the Quran and embryology I tried to email you last week. Sorry it took so long for me to get back to you about it. Enjoy. http://www.quranandscience.com/human/135-dr-keith-moore-confirms-embryology-in-quran.html

Thanks Troy. I see that some could see those verses from the Koran as medical descriptions of prenatal life. I am a bit skeptical, though. The verses seem so generic. It reminds me of similar claims about science as explained in the the new and old testament. Obscure and somewhat poetic versus are used to exemplify that the bible is accurate and reliable in the sciences.

My Wikipedia article

Week 2 - week 4: Editing basics (August 26-28)& Using sources (September 9-11)

I am most heavily leaning towards revising Canon of Medicine. Originally, my interest in astronomy placed several other articles at the top of my list. However, when it came time to work on our assignment to place only a few sentences in an article, I wanted the article to be a different one from the main article i would work on. So I found the article "Canon of Medicine" and went to work checking the material.
At first the article looked fairly well fleshed out. However, I was able to find a complete English translation of the Canon of Medicine and it revealed to me that there was quite a bit of discrepancy and missing data.
For starters I began in what the article called "Book One Part One: The Humours". Immediately, I noticed that this was in error. The source data shows no apparent title for Part One, but the "Humours" is actually a sub-title, and not even the first one. In fact, part one was divided into six different sub-categories and only one of which was "Humours".
I rearranged and renamed "Book One Part One" and divided the subcategories as needed and then added some basic information to all of the sub-categories.
I feel confident that my changes will be unaltered because I discovered that I am the first person to actually source the original work in English translation. I was surprised to learn that all other sources are referencing third parties. So I am the first person who uses the original source (as translated in English)to reference the article on Canon of Medicine.
