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

2. The people of seventh century Arabia had no concept of Science. They couldn’t possibly understand Evolutionary biology. They lacked an understanding of the ABCs of evolution.** How could God possibly have explained to them the complexity of creation through evolution?!?! Its akin to teach a five year old calculus, and all in Greek!**

Med911 brings up an excellent point. How could an all knowing, all powerful God be able to explain evolution to the arabs. Do you not understand how stupid arabs were back then? Even an all knowing and all powerful God could not devise a way to impart this knowledge and I’m glad Med911 brought this up!

The problem with evolution is that it is not falsifiable … In order to be scientific we were looking for some sort of a falsification test … Anyway there is digression in this thread … This thread is about why evolution can be seen as compatible with Islam … Or in fact with closer scrutiny we will discover that evolution undermines Islam.

Brother psyah, evolution is falsifiable. We can dig up the fossil record and show there has been no change over time for species. We can show instances of God creating animals supernaturally such as giraffe from water. Please don’t make claims that evolution isn’t true because it isn’t falisifiable. This kind of reasoning should be avoided because then liberals would say creationism isn’t falsifiable.

On a personal level, even though I have no scientific education and would be considered functionally illiterate when reading about evolution I know it isn’t true.
