Honestly, I fail to understand why there would be a conflict between Islam and theory of evolution.
Allah says that He sent Adam to earth, but He does not tell us the mechanism which was followed to make it happen. That mechanism could be evolution.

It is like Allah saying that He provides rizq or food to people. But He does not do it by actually passing the food Himself to everyone. Rather there is a worldly mechanism available which makes it happen. People work on their jobs and they get paid.

The ultimate Being which created these worldly mechanisms is Allah. And evolution is just one such mechanism which resulted in Adam’s coming to earth.

Thats what i am trying to tell people but they dont have enough faith in intelligentsia of god to create a complex mechanism. weak faith i say.

That fact that you can make a statement the context of which spans millions of years shows that no one has been around to witness the validity of the argument - hence it is a belief - not a fact. Fossils do not show there have been intermediaries - people have picked up fossils that appear to be intermediaries and then they have connected the dots to arrive at this belief - it is not proof - just dot to dot. Proof would be if they can show that these alleged intermediaries really did come from the parent group of another species and really did give birth to the new one. Fossils being like snapshots in the ground can never show this mechanism.

Following the same logic we should not believe in adam and eve either because no one was around to see them and nor have we found their fossil. in science as you said they connected the dots but for me to believe you there are no dots.
you are painting a picture in air without any proof and against all the known norms.

btw Fossils does show that there have been intermediaries. EVery day we find some missing link and it answers further questions.
