Re: Evolution?
The mAd_ScIeNtIsT is not foolish enough to set about trying to interpret the Quran on his own. None of my comments on the Quran were my own interpretations.
Most came from the following 2 fatwas.
A Fatwa on the possibility of creation taking thousands of years at least can be seen at http://www.islamonline.net/servlet/Satellite?pagename=IslamOnline-English-Ask_Scholar/FatwaE/FatwaE&cid=1119503545886
Similarly, my views on Allah SWT potentially using genetic mutation to potentially create a new species from another can be seen in the following fatwa.
To say that all these things happened by themselves is nothing but absurd. It is like saying that words collapsed, mutated and then fixed into a wonderful encyclopedia by themselves. Or books mutated themselves and then fixed into a well-organized library. Nothing happened or happens by itself. There is a Creator Who has created everything, whether at once or through the process of growth and development.
The point about “created” and “creates” is lifted from the website of the MSA.
