Dr. Moore is notable as the only embryologist directly quoted by [[Islam|Islamic]] sources in an attempt to prove [[embryology]] as described in the [[Qur'an]] is [[Islam and Science|scientifically]] correct. In the 1980s he accepted an invitation by the Embryology Committee of King Abdulaziz University to produce a special 3<sup>rd</sup> edition of his most successful [[Literature|book]] "The Developing Human" specifically for use by Muslim students in Islamic Universities. He was financially patronized by the Saudi royal family for the use of his name, and for no real additional work. | |||

The co-writer of Moore's book is a leading militant Islamist named Abdul Majeed al-Zindani. He is the founder and head of the Iman University in [[Yemen]], head of the Yemeni [[Muslim Brotherhood]] political movement and founder of the Commission on Scientific Signs in the Quran and Sunnah (one of the organizations that spearheaded [[Bucailleism]]), based in [[Saudi Arabia]].<ref>Josh Devon - [{{Reference archive|1=http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/205426/yemeni-sheikh-hate/josh-devon|2=2013-04-10}} Yemeni Sheikh of Hate] - National Review, January 7, 2003</ref> | The co-writer of Moore's book is a leading militant Islamist named Abdul Majeed al-Zindani.
