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!

Why are you purposely misquoting me. I was quoting you when you said God couldn’t explain evolution to arabs. I was merely pointing out the foolishness of applying limits to an all powerful being. If you want to perform mental gymnastics to make islam and evolution compatible, your better served in taking out the whole God explained it to the arabs the only way they would understand routine as its illogical. If god wanted to explain evolution to arabs he would have, but the only thing the Koran says is that man was made from clay.

Also, I don’t know what your trying to get across with the second paragraph. God works in mysterious ways. Apparently when Prophet Elisha was walking up a mountain he was ridiculed by a group of youths for being bald. God decided to send bears to attack and kill all 42 youths right there on the spot. Don’t ask me why God considered this more important than say teaching humans about Germ theory.
