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

@psyah

Let me cut to the chase …

med911 or kchughtai or anyone else … Please show speciation is compatible with the Qur’an … You claim that evolution is not relevant to Islam … So you have created a convenient get out clause that neither will you find evolution specifically supported in the Qur’an because it is not relevant, and if anything seems to conflict with evolution … Well then just dismiss that as a metaphor … I say there is much evidence that the Qur’an tells us things about our environment and then encouraged us to investigate its claims … How else are we to investigate if by not using science???

My convenient get out clause is for your benefit and every other Muslims. The burden of proof isn’t on those that believe in Science. Its you who has to prove that Islam is compatible with reality (i.e. Evolution) not me. I have shown you that Islam leaves the door open to accepting evolution and you don’t have to disregard one or the other. You can be a devout muslim and still believe in Evolution. Its you who is complicating things needlessly. You yourself say your not a literalist, but now we should ignore scientific evidence and accept the Koran is literal!

I believe the Koran gives us clues to the nature of our environment and asks us to investigate further. We investigated further and came across tons of evidence to support evolution as the mechanism of creation. Now you want us to abandon all of that and go back to believing we were all created as we are from a pile of mud?

And evolution is science. i even gave you link stating that evolution is Falsifiable. Hence its a valid science by your definition. Even the person on whom most creationist based the “nonFalsifiable” argument, himself acknowledged that evolution was indeed falsifiable. Go back and read my second article.
