It can be the case that we stop thinking … yes … but it can also take another route … that we start thinking more …
You will even find such behaviour in pro-evolution Muslims … what they argue is not that Islam or the Qur’an is wrong, but that our interpretation of the Qur’an and Islam is wrong and that it is compatible with evolution theory … you see even they are not doubting the “God given” thing … but they are merely doubting the human ability to interpret it …
I did consider that … but then when I studied evolution and read about it in more depth I saw it for what it was … a dogma … I am not prepared to replace one dogma for another … show me that evolution is true and I will accept it and then I will modify my understandings about how Islam and Qur’an should be understood … but I will never say that the Qur’an is wrong …
Often it is the trait of the educated and trained human mind to make paranormal inferences after all logical and reasonable paths have been exhausted first … You see orientalists don’t want to believe in the truth of Islam … but they study it closely … they draw conclusions regarding the Qur’an from a very unreasonable vantage point - a vantage point that conflicts with history and logic … but they are compelled to say such things because otherwise they would have to acknowledge the truth of Islam.
