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

@psyah

Also you said …

" the juvenile belief that one day God snapped his fingers and we all appeared …"

The Qur’an says …“He says to it, “Be” and it is …”

I consider myself fairly good at poetry … I write lots of poetry … … I can’t work out the symbolic statement of the Qur’an above that does not mean that juvenile belief that you wrote … Perhaps you can help.

Well there is something called magical thinking. Children exhibit this trait, although some adults as well.

Just as you refuse to believe Evolution until you see a chimp solve a quadratic equation, so must I conclude that things do NOT simply pop into existence out of thin air unless I see it happen. Perhaps God CAN create things if he wanted in such a manner, but I haven’t seen him do it. And so if you people want to indulge in magical thinking, the I can’t think of a better word to describe it then childish or juvenile.

I think God created this Universe to be governed by certain immutable laws, and once this Universe came into being, he choose, for whatever reason, to not break any of those laws. One of those laws just happens to be that matter does not come out of nothing.
