Yes, religious books can help to provide foundation in relation to topic under investigation.

Any book with basic principle of life will help in research

A religious book is to believe and following.

Yes, religious books can help to provide foundation in relation to topic under investigation.

Sometimes yes, often in the opposite direction.

Yes sir

best regards

Yes, religious books can help in scientific studies.

Of course, there are a lot of scientific concepts in the religious books that are worth studying in the religious books , including the Holy Quran where reference is made on many occasions to a lot of scientific concepts that have been recently discovered in modern science.

Absolutely

In certain areas - yes

Jahangir Khan ,

Definitely. Pls read the Holy Khan and its translation with your language and you will know the answer. Every things of the universe are their.

Somehow, yes.

Regards

Every religion for every nation remains the guideline for the devotee & in this case devotees with his prayer & wisdom try to understand & also to accept the basic code of living of his life. This help him to keep his mind calm & quite for understanding any problem of his life including in his study .

This is my personal opinion

A Big Yes. Shri Guru Granth sahib ji (Sikh Holy Book) revealed many scientific STUDIES- about galaxies, planets nd so on.

In certain cases yes.

I think there is nothing closely related here

I think yes ....

Surely they can help

yes,there some chapters in my holy injunction (Bible) which shows how some patriarchs displayed animal breeding techniques,irrigation,genetic engineering to mention but few.I strongly believe religious books can help in scientific struggles.

Speritual susceptibility support the scientific efforts by giving the motive element to be more workaholic .

Of course yes and helped in scietific studies.

Please check this paper about Islam.

In one way or another, religious books also relate historical texts, from there, you can get information through which, investigate and analyze, processes that were made in ancient

Dear Jahangir Khan,

I think Yes.

For example, reading Qur'an can help in scientific studies by bringing peace to the body and soul of believers.

A calm and relaxed believer will have better understanding and memory, meaning they will have better learning.

Quran can guide in various fields of science.

There are clear guide lines in the field of environmental protection and resource conservation.

Some important topics discussed in Quran are:

Creation of the earth

Astronomy

The sun and the moon

Stars and planet

Orbit

Day and night

The solar Apex

Expansion of Univers

Conquest of space 

Geology

Water cycle

Mountain

Biology

Botany

Physiology

Embryology

Fertilization

Implantation 

Embryo

Age of the earth

Flood

Religious books encourage or clarify our beliefs

The firmer and more informed are our beliefs, we are better practitioners of religion and this along with scientific knowledge, expand our knowledge horizon our general culture.

Then, to be more educated and informed, we have broader and comparative theoretical perspectives and practices of different perspectives of knowledge, among them, scientific knowledge.

I think yes

Religious books aim at regulating the moral attitudes of the believers. As such, they have a great bearing on the mindset of the individuals by advocating perseverance, planting the seeds of hope, and breathing meaning into their lives. These attributes are certainly very important in the life of a scientist. In point of fact, the ethical and moral values addressed by religions pave the way for scientific endeavors boosting up the grit required to pursue scientific goals.

As Reza Biria correctly says, some religious books can contribute to scientific endeavor by having a bearing on the psychology of scientists and their moral values (although not without some cherrypicking). And as Ivan David Lozada Martinez correctly suggests, like most texts of that kind, there will be at least some references that may be useful to historians (although historians by and large don't think of themselves as scientists). But as regards actual scientific content as per Nafees Mohammad's long list, not of much use there. Certainly nothing you would put into a scientific textbook for the purpose of training young scientists.

Yes....Bhagvadgita is the classical example of same

Yes. to work over old believe / hypothesis

Yes, of course,

religious books, which is valuable scientific information.

Yes, indeed. Religious books are Devine yet they are consistent with past present and future realities of life.

Science was a part of philosophy.

Religious books were actualy written with some philosophical ideas.

So, all were under philosophy and interlinked during the said period.

But many books were written afterwards by actually some BAD people for some personal gain or to get fame and announced as some books of religion. Many of these are actually some novels.

A large section of people who are either illiterate or literate but unable to understand the actual meaning or essence of religious books consider these dangerous books as a part of religion.

So people are misguided and consider prejudices and practices as the actual religion.

Thus, to most of the common people, religion do not carry any philosophical thoughts.

So, such religions or so called religious books have NO relation with science.

Thanks.

Yes without doubt, especially the undistorted books such as the Quran, which is undistorted since 1400 years.

Regards.

Each age (and era) has seen fights for supremacy and dominance. Some people have tried to use religion as an instrument, has opposed new scientific (theory) developments on the name of previous people and books (and hence old scientific theories).

The religious books that were written for wellness of human being are lights for future for ever. But books (including religious books) written four supremacy/dominance or money-making pushes us to darkness.

Such books spread hatred.

I appreciate the answer by Shibabrata Pattanayak , and also partially by Artur Braun .

Yes of course...

Yes, of course

"Science without Religion is lame and Religion without Science is blind". - Albert Einstein

Thanks.

"Comfort of the body in the lack of food"

This is one of the thousands of words of Faithful Prince (Ali) which have been proven by modern science. So my answer certainly is Yes, religious books are a real astrologer for those who can deal with the words of great ancient scientists. Finally, I give you this beautiful wisdom of the Faithful Prince (Ali) which he said :

"Scientists remain whatever life remain

Their tiredness are missing, and their effects are keeping in the heart."

Regards.

Religious books generally describe about socio-economic conditions during the period the religions were evolving. So, such books can be topic or research of historians, social scientists.

Religious books are always full with examples of metaphors. As such they can be a source of inspiration for scientifc research. Religion an science are not contradictory realities. As Einstein once remarked science without religion is lame and religion without science is blind,

Can science studies help the understanding of the Bible?

Conditional YES.

I cite one example:

Before the 14th centuries in the Holy Book of Qur'an the following verse was published:

"Have not those who disbelieve known that the heavens and the earth were of one piece, then We parted them, and we made every living thing of water? Will they not then believe? [Surat Al-Anbiya', 30]

(أَوَلَمْ يَرَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَنَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ كَانَتَا رَتْقًا فَفَتَقْنَاهُمَا ۖ وَجَعَلْنَا مِنَ الْمَاءِ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ حَيٍّ ۖ أَفَلَا يُؤْمِنُونَ)

Science was later, through Kant-Laplase theory, Big bang theory, and the like. explained that the sky and the earth were one whole, and that from that whole, later, galaxies, stars, planets, etc. were formed.

Also, science later explained that life originated from water, that is, without water, no life.

There are also other scientific truths mentioned in Qur'an.

It is not excluded that many scientists read sacred books and thus get inspiration for scientific research and discovery.

So, religious books can help science.

To the scientists and engineers here: How exactly did the Quran or Bible help you in your scientific education? Was it one of the required texts in your introductory physics classes? Was it a source for contriving experimental demonstrations used by your instructors? Did it provide descriptions of mechanical principles or chemical reactions that you were able to put to use? Was there anything that you learned and were examined on in your scientific education that required using the Quran or Bible as a textual reference or study guide?

Yes, indeed.
