Assalam alaikum
someone else,
I don’t think you’ve read any of the articles I pointed to have you because that is where most of the proof lies. I’m very disappointed

You haven’t told me whose translation of the Qur’aan you are using.
could you explain what you mean by “after removing known defects”?
When I mentioned the religion of Hadhrat Nuh (A.S.) I didn’t say it was a completely different religion. I said it was Islam but in a different manifestation, they had different obligations. I mean they didn’t pray 5 times a day and there was no Qur’aan at that time.
Do you think a person who is born Muslim is guided or the one who fulfils the obligations of being a muslim is guided? Even the Saudi govt is not Islamic!
Hadrat Musa (A.S.) who didn’t come directly after but came many prophets and milleniums after Hadhrat Nuh (A.S.) told the children of Israel not to worship the calf yet when he went away for a while and came back he saw that they had shaped a calf out of the gold that they possessed and were worshipping it!
You use the term “modern ways of living” what do you mean by it?
Also again I said before, you are assuming that you know the lifestyle of the people of the Ark. For example you asked why did they stop worshipping Allah. Do you know how they worshipped Allah? I mean namaaz came with the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.)
Concerning species, tell me what a species is and how they are separated.
Also I don’t argue with the fact that the animals and Humans have a common origin. I understand the common origin to be water, they were created using the same material but they didn’t split up from a creation.
Animal and Human similarities only point to the fact that there is only one creator. Just like you can recognise an artist’s paintings because they have been painted in a certain style.
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 4.543
Narrated by Abu Huraira
The Prophet (S.A.W.)said, "Allah created Adam, making him 60 cubits tall. When He created him, He said to him, “Go and greet that group of angels, and listen to their reply, for it will be your greeting (salutation) and the greeting (salutation) of your offspring.” So, Adam said (to the angels), As-Salamu Alaikum (i.e. Peace be upon you). The angels said, “As-salamu Alaika wa Rahmatu-l-lahi” (i.e. Peace and Allah’s Mercy be upon you). Thus the angels added to Adam’s salutation the expression, ‘Wa Rahmatu-l-lahi.’ Any person who will enter Paradise will resemble Adam (in appearance and figure). People have been decreasing in stature since Adam’s creation.
15:28 Behold! thy Lord said to the angels: "I am about to create man from sounding clay from mud molded into shape;
15:29 “When I have fashioned him (in due proportion) and breathed into him of My spirit fall ye down in obeisance unto him.”
There isn’t anywhere in the Qur’aan which says that Hadhrat Adam (A.S.), the original Human, developed or evolved from animals. Wherever you will read in the Qur’aan it will always say that Hadhrat Adam (A.S.)'s body was shaped and then life was breathed into it by Allah (S.W.T.)
You mentioned a few parts of the body which are said to be of no use now. Our lifestyle has completely changed so of course these parts of the body are no longer required. The human chin is also said to be reducing because of us eating so much refined food now. Anyway you’re wrong about hair, it still has a function. When you are cold your hair stands on its ends so that the cold air doesn’t touch your skin. Hair on the chin (beard) acts as a filter to the air that you breathe in.
If aboriginals were in a transitional stage, are they still in it? and what about the chinese what stage are they in? and which animal did they evolve from. You also used the term “I think” which clearly shows you had no proof for your statement on aboriginals.
