Dear Platao36, nowhere did I say that science is religion, but science is one way to prove religion. Islam covers every aspect of life including religion. The Quran, being a book for all people in all ages, it has to address people in different levels taking into consideration the different intellectual tendencies; otherwise it will be limited to certain people.
The Islamic teachings (in Quran and Prophet's sayings)relate to everything, because Islam is the code of life, and science is a crucial aspect of life materially (for human advancements in all fields) and spiritually (through being a gate to belief and a way to prove Allah's Abilities and the Quran's authenticity and divinity).
The Quran being the constitution valid for all times, it should address people from the shepherd to the astronomy scientist in order to be understood by all. Allah Almighty says in the Quran (what means):
“…. And We have sent down to you the Book (the Quran) as an exposition of everything, a guidance, a mercy, and glad tidings for those who have submitted themselves (to Allah as Muslims).” [16:89]
Thus, that the Quran includes scientific references doesn't mean that it is a book of science. For example, in a chemistry book, we may find a chapter mentioning some of the geographical areas where phosphor or granite abounds for instance, does it mean that it is a geographical book? Another example, the bible contains the genealogy of Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, does it mean that it is a biographical book exclusively?
