Doctrines Of Baha’i Faith-Coincidence of religion with knowledge and wisdom

Bahá’u’lláh, Iqan, pp.144-145 (Paragraph 165-166)

  “For instance, consider the substance of copper. Was it to be protected in its own mine from becoming solidified, it would, within the space of seventy years, attain to the state of gold? There are some, however, who maintain that copper itself is gold, which by becoming solidified is in a diseased condition, and hath not therefore reached its own state. Be that as it may, the real elixir will, in one instant, cause the substance of copper to attain the state of gold, and will traverse the seventy-year stages in a single moment. Could this gold be called copper? Could it be claimed that it hath not attained the state of gold, whilst the touchstone is at hand to assay it and distinguish from copper?”

Coincidence of Religion with Knowledge and Wisdom is one of the Baha’i teachings. Those who make such a claim, despite this claim, why do they speak unscientifically?

It is really a big mistake and misconception of chemistry if the Baha’is believe that Mirza Hussein Ali is a Divine Prophet.

It is obvious that copper does not turn into gold when placed in water. This transformation is not chemically possible as gold and copper are separate elements with distinct atomic structures. The idea may stem from alchemical legends rather than a scientific fact.
