Flattening the Curve of Modern Science in Pandemic Times

Confused Concepts Channel Confused Context;
Collisions of Science Versus Scriptural Misunderstandings:
By bringing in 'clear' representations of Quranic whispers of antithetical and confusing observations as DNM has done, the supposed 'Clear Quran of Dr. Khattab,' or the other translations by Mohammed Hegab (Hijab), and offerings by Muqatil apparently require more scholastic analysis to determine what the adherent of such theosophical observations are to learn in how to adapt what their teachings require or compel them to accomplish in this world's more complex circumstances when, for example, the science of the ancients do not conform to the science that is the existential understanding of how things function today.
Geophysics, indeed, space exploration such as the discoveries on the moon or Mars tell of a world today that will not support the meandering and confusing speculations of an ideology that does not appear to be consistent with what science is arguing the world needs to conform to. As noted, it is antithetical.
Some will continue to argue, that things spiritual are not governed by the physical reality we are living in; except that in certain respects, there is evidence to the contrary. There is the evidence, for example, the concepts and prophetical applications from the Hebrew Holy Writ, are in evidence, such as the historical placement of Jerusalem and Israel, who are in their land in spite of every attempt to diminish and eliminate them and are constantly in the global news.
The reminders of the 'philosophical' pronouncements as pointed out by DNM are apparently in conflict to the modern understandings of such things; how is there an ability to hear such things without wondering what else might be subjected to greater scrutiny? In the Hebrew Holy Script, there are misunderstandings by mankind, but usually the conflict is in mankind's perception of the facts, yet the facts remain to be proved out while humanity still wonders.
Case in point, the pandemic that has the world in exasperated exercises of political futility; the Hebrew Holy Writ has that down as consequential circumstances of not rendering to the Eternal Sovereign what is due to Him in recognizing His sovereignty over Israel and the world: how does any other religious endeavor comport with that? As is seen now; it does not. Pestilence is a function of chastisement in the Hebrew Holy Writ; how does any other religious persuasion deal with that? In the confusion that is apparent in the Quran, is there an answer there; anyone?
