lol well i was talking to ghengis but we can all do with a reminder of not bringin peoples faults into public view
I write as pleases me, do you have a problem with that?Hugo - why did you leave out Islam?
As usual you cannot answer any question and instead offer a 20,000 word essay and so bring the discussion to a halt.
As possible as you taking on a few base pairs through some jumping gene or framshift mutation developing gargoyle wings and flying, Of course!It is always possibles to assign probabilities to events and that might be useful but it's not proof of anything. I assume because you used this long essay dealing with that idea that you agree that evolution is at least a possibility.
Correct, the Quran doesn't say anything about evolution and one of God's names 'al baree' means the evolver.. also confirmed by suret al'waqi3a.. I have problems with evolution from a scientific stand not a religious one.. However, I don't see the bible being in concert with any of it, given the dark ages and the history of the church.. I believe history is a perfect example with which religions is compatible with science and which isn't...I am open minded about it personally and to me it has no effect whatever on my faith and I cannot see that either the Bible or the Qu'ran dismisses it unless you take the impossible route that everything written in either book must be taken absolutely literally. The scriptures were never intended to be science text books and what we have to use them for is hearing what God is saying to us then and now.

You have no questions, you only have assertions.
Hugo - please see my question above, it does not look like an assertion. You listed many faiths but why leave out Islam? Of course you may write as you please but when it comes to baseless assertions about what others have written that is another matter and inserting a 20,000 words essay into a discussion board is hardly offering a salient and lucid response is it because you must know that no one is going to read it?

If it is of no great concern to you, then why bring it up in a thread and only cower when major loopholes are elucidated? You know the saying, pls either put up or shut up.. But don't throw words around and then cringe at the thought of someone challenging you on it.The Bible is what it is. a revelation from God, anyone one can take it or leave it just as any one can take or leave what the Qu'ran has to say. I have no particular issues with evolution from a scientific (I am not a biologist) or religious point of view. What matters to me is how we work out faith out in everyday life and I cannot see that Evolution has much to say on that score so it's of no great concern to me.
Nice to talk with you
Hugo, I'd also like to know why you left Islam, although, if you don't answer, I don't hold no ill will, I am just curious.
He is speaking of why I left Islam out as an example not as a way of life..
simply I think you can get the message with two or three examples.. no point in protracting a metaphor and beating it to death!
May Allah swt make us steadfast on Iman, die with shahada on our lips and accept the best of our deeds and grant us paradise's high meed.. ameen
I didn't know you left Islam?
I am really lost atm, but ok.
what are you talking about? pls read every post on this thread..
peace
I have seen your questions indeed, I see nothing save an assertion that evolution is correct because there are many sources backing it up. That is not a question nor is it a testimony to the truth. It is in fact exactly as I have deemed it an assertion, use the dictionary and define the terms for yourself if you are having difficulty otherwise?...
Hugo - I cannot recall making any assertions about evolution, indeed I made it plain that I have an open mind about the matter.
The research is very sound and lucid, anyone with minor common sense and basic understanding of biology not even on a molecular level and an ability to read, can understand the issues raised and that need a resolution when it comes to evolution.
Hugo - I take this to mean that you are convinced by the arguments for evolution?
Until such a time, you can present us in a like manner your unassailable thesis and able to defend and cover all your loop holes, can you come here with this type of bravado!
Hugo - I have no unassailable thesis and I doubt any good scientist would say that they have. Indeed it the essence of science to remain sceptical and it's obvious that we have not come to the end of knowing new things so I fail to see what point you are making?

Hugo - I said it was no great concern of mine as far as my faith is concerned. I made a post because to me it is unreasonable to simply say evolution is wrong and it is designed to destroy faith because I see no sign of Islam or Christianity or any other religion collapsing over the issue.
If you are interested in reading about islamic scholars and scientists then I am sure a simple google search would yield you millions of results.. all the best
Then let's refresh your memory--You wrote:Hugo - I cannot recall making any assertions about evolution, indeed I made it plain that I have an open mind about the matter.
We all have to guard our faith but we cannot do that by ignoring everything can we? Its fine for you to not believe in evolution but let's here you evidence. Whether you like it or not there is a huge body of evidence for evolution and you cannot with honesty dismiss it
What is the argument of evolution? Don't throw open-ended discussion and allow for any sort of spontaneous response.. if you have specific points bring them to the table!Hugo - I take this to mean that you are convinced by the arguments for evolution?
The point I am making goes back to your first statement and I quote the latter point:Hugo - I have no unassailable thesis and I doubt any good scientist would say that they have. Indeed it the essence of science to remain sceptical and it's obvious that we have not come to the end of knowing new things so I fail to see what point you are making?
I don't think anyone said 'evolution is wrong because it destroys faith' folks have their reservations on why it is wrong and why some use it to denounce God, even if evolution were the correct order of events, you'd still have a large mystery on the origin of life!Hugo - I said it was no great concern of mine as far as my faith is concerned. I made a post because to me it is unreasonable to simply say evolution is wrong and it is designed to destroy faith because I see no sign of Islam or Christianity or any other religion collapsing over the issue.
Here is a list of Islamic scholars/ scientists old and newYes I am interested in reading any scholar or scientist and I am unable to understand what it might mean to be an Islamic scientist as if there is an Islamic Ohms law or Islamic penicillin. Let us have a list of say your top 5 Islamic scientists, what University they work at and then we can see what their international standing is, where they appear in Journals or citation indexes or books. Interestingly, an article appeared in New Scientist (I posted this in another thread some weeks ago) which perhaps gives a picture of the quality of science emerging let's say from the Islamic world and its not an encouraging one.
Aameen.Until Allah guides anyone they will not see. So its useless us putting people down and making statements which appear to people as derogatory because this further alienates then from Islam. If we are kind and gentle in our approach they may wish to learn more about Islam and as a result Allah may guide them.
May Allah guide us allAmeen
