Well, first off your starting on the right path. I'd really recommend obtaining a Qur'an. the best translation in english would be Yusef Ali, as ithas very very very good footnotes in english which really show you the meaning of the verse. ( This being as english as a language isnt as in depth compared toarabic). If you are near a mosque or if there is an Muslim Student Association group near you contact them. If you need help getting a Qur'an, please letme know and I might be able to get one shipped to you.
Also I can probably send you some basic books on science and Islam, and Islam in general. One funny thing about it, alot of scientific discoveries such asfresh water and salt water not mixing, were described in the Qur'an a long time ago. So shoot me a PM or email, and I can hook you up. Hope everything goeswell for you.
