Re: Apologetic Islamic take on Evolution … Or unkind dismissal?
In Islam, I think we can both agree, that we acknowledge that ALL humans are descended of Adam.
Yet, Islam only requires that we obey and revere our parents, it does not stipulate that we show the same reverence for and obedience to ALL humanity, although we should respect the sanctity of all human life, care for other humans, and show humanity towards them, just as we would toward animals.
By your logic, since we are not taught to obey and revere all of humanity as we are our parents, we are then not all descended of Adam?
Similarly, even though we are not required to obey and show reverence towards animals, this does not negate our common ancestry.
