Re: Apologetic Islamic take on Evolution … Or unkind dismissal?
Yes God did an excellent job of explaining evolution to ancient Arabs. So well in fact that YOU, a Muslim living in the 21st century still haven’t figured it out!
By the way, while God was at it teaching those ancient Arabs evolution, he might have mentioned some other Scientific tid bits that could have impacted our lives. For example, did he forget to mention how we could isolate parts of bacterium’s and viruses and use them to vaccinate the populous against disease?! Did he forget to mention how diseases like Bubonic plaque were spread, even though it managed to kill millions of people across the world even up to the early 20th century? I mean, the all knowing all wise Allah SWT could easily have imparted tomes of scientific knowledge to the Arabs, and yet here we are, still trying to eradicate Polio in the ISLAMIC republic of Pakistan!
