Apologetic Islamic take on Evolution ... Or unkind dismissal?

Buddy it’s mental gymnastics for me? Your the one that denies facts and science! You people are trying to sell this concept of Islam that is contradicted by ground reality. I have made peace with my faith and science. As far as I’m concerned and I’m there many who agree with me that Islam is not incompatible with evolution, and thus reality. You on the other hand, live in a magical world boxed in by a short sighted child like understanding of the universe. That’s fine with me, I could care less, but as a society I hope Muslims choose science and logic over such outdated concepts.

Im glad you admit you don’t know. Don’t mock what u don’t understand. I didn’t create evolution, it has always been. The evidence speaks for itself. Now u can accept it, or continue to ignore it. Consider yourself lucky the Koran never said men could fly otherwise you would also refuse to believe in gravity I’m sure!

Yes its absolute mental gymnastics to try and say that God didn’t tell the arabs about evolution because he couldn’t think of a way to make them understand. This is just a method for you to try and integrate your two beliefs. You really believe god to be so limited?

Evolution says that our species arose from a previous species which was also a common ancestor to other apes.

God tells us that he created the first man from clay (dust mixed with water). We didn’t arise from a previous species.

There is no middle ground where these two beliefs can be harmonized. Either one contradicts the other. It is an act of mental gymnastics to try and do so.
