Resulting from the above mentioned Commission, a popular tool of [[w:Dawah|da'wah]] is to show videos from conferences in the 1980s of various scientists apparently vouching for the scientific accuracy of the Qur'an. See [https://www.youtube.com/user/ThisIsTheTruthUncut these recent interviews] with some of those scientists, in which they explain that they were tricked, misquoted, and misrepresented by [[w:Abdul_Majeed_al-Zindani#Political_activity|Sheikh Abdul Majeed Zindani]], who organised the conferences.

===Scientific Miracles in the Georgics===
{{Main|On the Miraculous Nature and the Divine Origin of Virgils Georgics|l1=On the Miraculous Nature and the Divine Origin of Virgil's Georgics}}
This article argues that the Georgica, written by Virgil in Golden Latin in the year 28 BC, contains many scientific miracles (i.e. scientific foreknowledge). Furthermore, Virgil was an ancient Roman poet and the ancient Romans were polytheists, thus the Roman pantheon of deities must exist. Of course this article is written as part satire. It parodies the logic of Muslim apologists, and demonstrates very effectively how easy it is to reinterpret any ancient poetry, such as the Qur'an, and reveal so-called scientific miracles.
