This verse says that God can will anything into being. This is something we are all agreed upon.

What this does not tell us is WHAT God decreed into being. Perhaps he willed the first spark of the universe into being and thus set into motion what ultimately, perhaps through preordained circumstances, perhaps through divine manipulation, finally culminated in humanity.

This in no way implies that humanity among other things simply came into being. It simply means that God can do so, if he so wishes, however, with the evidence of evolution at hand, its quite clear that he did not simply create man as is. Why he did not simply create man as is, I do not know, but then there are many things that perhaps we will never understand of god.

So … You are saying the so called fully symbolic Qur’an in this verse is not to be taken symbolically and it is a literal thing … That when Allah (SWT) says Be that thing Is … And when that thing comes into existence it is in line with science and evolution? Just want to confirm if this statement is literal or not … And if so … Is this not describing a physical process without being in and of itself a statement for guidance …
