This article does not seek to prove that the ancient Egyptians shared some aspects of the scientific understanding of gender determination and reproduction. It merely aims to show that the Qur'an was not the first religious text to suggest that gender is determined by the semen of the male parent.
In viewing the evidence, it is apparent that some of the ancient Egyptians believed that gender is created by the sperm from the male parent, and reproduction is via male and female union. This belief predated the Qur'an by about 2,900 years as evidenced by the pyramid text of Pharaoh Pepi I, 2332-2283 BC. ([[Quran Describes Gender Determination By Sperm|''read more'']])}}</option>

Also CNN World News stated "Fast-growing Islam winning converts in Western world", a statement which they fail to back up with any evidence. All the actual data available reveals that Islam is neither the fastest growing religion by number of adherents or the fastest growing religion by percentage-increase. In fact, most of its growth comes from "their relatively high birth rate," and "Islam loses as many adherents via conversion as it gains." (read more)
