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

So a five year old lacks understanding of calculus because his brain capacity is not mature enough for it … Are you saying that the Arabs could not understand evolution or merely had not thought of evolution as a viable way of the proliferation of life? It sounds like you are saying that people are more intelligent today … Is that what you are saying here?

I meant a five year old hasn’t any grounding in the knowledge required to understand a concept so advanced. Although its possible people are somewhat smarter in general. The world is a very different place today, of course thats a wholly separate topic.

People in Ancient Arabia had no concept of evolution, of DNA, of mutation, of selection. To explain such things to them would be futile. It wouldn’t make sense of God to explain such things to them , when they wouldn’t have understood, and since it wasn’t the intention of message to explain such intricacies any way.

The Koran simply informs them that they were created by God, in that it is successful. How exactly they were created is not the point, nor is it relevant.
