Do you believe in Evolution?

The theory of evolution does not contradict the Quran or the Sunnah since they don't tell us much about the creation of animals and plants.
I refuse to say "natural selection" because I think that it is God not nature that allowed genetic mutations to take place.
I don't believe that man evolved from non-human species though.
 
As written in my previous post on biological evolution in the Comparative Religion section, if Islam's timeline of prophets supports that of the Bible -- Adam to Muhammad -- then mankind is only four or five thousand years old. Reading Ibn Kathir's Stories of the Prophets I have concluded that Islam's prophetic genealogy is chronologically equal to Christianity's. Unfortunately, there exists zero archaeological evidence to support such a notion, let alone the idea that Adam and Eve were 30 cubits [about 50 feet] tall, according to hadiths. Such fossils have never been discovered - on the contrary the fossils that have been uncovered are millions of years old and bear the semblance of apes. 160,000 years is the age of the most human-like fossil found so far, and its stature is perfectly normal.

"if" ???

After all the confident posts you made about the prophetic timeline in Islam why the word "if"???

I thought you knew everything? At least thats what the arrogance in all your posts indicates.

Hate to say it but... Peace :peace:

Insult? :?

Compared the rude and ignorant posts he has made you find my post insulting? I haven't said anything rude.

You must be joking. Either way I do not intend to take the thread off topic so if you have any issues please feel free to Email me or a Moderator.

Cheers.
 
salaam

well its speculation realy saying that if Islam supports the timeline of the bible - when it clearly its too open to even know the time line of Adam pbuh.
 
I believe evolution. I believe evolution is not contradictory to islam.
 
as in blind evolution then no, jst looking at monarch butterflies tells me Allah created all.

I believe the theorists of evolution generally state that is was most likely a natural bacteria that mutated and mutated for billions of years in the primordial soup.

To me, it sounds perfectly logical seeing that it is an obvious fact that mutations occur, so naturally some sort of evolution has to exist.

I don't preach either side because neither is perfect. However, if I were to choose one, I would go with evolution before any creationist tale.

Therefore, I chose that I believe in it- because denying mutation exists is just silly. :exhausted -... which is basically what evolution is, just over an extended period of time (in this case, an in-cred-ib-ly long time).

4,540,000,000 years- what was Allah doing in the mean time? :rollseyes

I see you changed your title from 'atheist' to 'agnostic'.

I know you'll hear religionists say over and over again "It's just a theory!" and while we now have concrete evidence to support evolution and mutation, they are still theories. We will never really know how life started here but the theory of evolution is a close as we'll get.

And as for the number of years, well I'm not a Muslim yet so I don't know what Allah was doing. As humans living on Earth, we can't fathom that kind of stuff.

But we still have not dis proven God's role in evolution. In my view, evolution just makes the painting that God drew more beautiful and precise.

Here is some verses from the Quran pertaining to evolution: http://www.parvez-video.com/science.asp

That is an amazing link that I think everyone here who bashes evolution calling it "a silly theory" should look at. :D Thanks!!

I think there should have been options like:

Muslim - Support evolution
Non-Muslim - Support evolution
Muslim - Do not support
Non-Muslim - Do not support

New fellow should educate himself on macro and micro evolution before the braggadocio?

indeed mutations happen...


now stick each mutation in a search engine and see if a disease state happens or a form of speciation? ey...

also pls make sure you use the search feature, third from anatomical right, we can't write the same thing over and over just because a newbie came up with an epiphany ... chances are, your earth shattering info has been seen by most not by a mere select few illuminati ..

all the best

The link took me to a page that consisted of the standard Maurice Bucaille line.

Are we looking at the same article? :?

Peace

I believe you were quoting me there, because after I responded to this, you followed through with your response as well.

And as I have freedom of speech and I will continue to exercise that right!

And no, I don't have a "persecution complex", whatever the hell that means.
