Question

Name a doctor and a philosopher who did not believe in the resurrection of the body on the judgement day?

Answer 1

Answer:

Both Josephus and the New Testament record that the Sadducees did not believe in an afterlife, but the sources vary on the beliefs of the Pharisees. The New Testament claims that the Pharisees believed in the resurrection, but does not specify whether this included the flesh or not.

Answer 2

Ibn Sina was a doctor and a philosopher who did not believe in the resurrection of the body on the judgement day.

Explanation:

• Ibn Sina, who was also known as Pur Sina, Abu Ali Sina, and frequently known in the West as Avicenna, was a Muslim polymath who is viewed as one of the most momentous physicians, astronomers, writers and thinkers of the Islamic Golden Age, as well the father of early modern medicine.

• He developed an instrument for spotting the coordinates of a star. He made many astronomical observations and indicated that the stars were self-luminous.  

• In mathematics, Ibn Sina enlightened the arithmetical notion and application of the “casting out of nines”.

• He also contributed to religion, poetry and music.
