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

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.

In the Quran it is said that God made Adam and his spouse, it actually says when He asks iblees to prostrate before Adam, Iblees says that why should i, when u made me from fire and Adam from mitti (mud?).

There is nothing symbolic about the creation of Adam in Quran. I think the concept of evolution and religion don’t go together
