Why not go to somewhere like <http://www.islam.com/> and pose a few
questions on one of their discussion list:
<http://www.islam.com/discussion.asp>. They have a science and
technology section, and I saw a couple of topics that might be
interesting: "The future" and "Artificial Reproduction". I couldn't
read any message bodies without registering, though.

Oh man, that sounds like fun. If I promise not to discuss pies, can I go too?
