Does "everything" here, also include biological organisms?
Because there are a number of organisms that can reproduce asexually such as bacterial cells.
At first glance, some may consider it a blunder in the Holy Quran. How does one counter such arguments and explain this verse? |
creating in pairs doesnt mean each living being has another one to have sex with and reproduce. rather creating things in pairs means heaven-hell, life-death, heavens-earth, belief-disbelief, asexual-sexual, man-woman, happy-sad, etc etc
