Why are Muslims against Evolution?!?

I got involved in this thread because in post 176 you asked “Please tell where in any species simple adaptation or mutation has led to change in species?” I answered you with the cichlids, but you seem to have an incomplete definition of what ‘species’ is, if this is an unfair assessment, then by all means set me straight.

Psyah,
Fossils don’t just show the era, they also provide information about their structure, how they moved, how they ate, their environment and living conditions and so forth. But you already know that.
About the sudden appearance of new species, I think that’s a reasonable question. The new species share the characteristics of the old species, characteristics that have been modified. It’s not a case of* *poof**animal a turns into animal x, it’s a transition; see the development of the tetrapods.
If it was just a case of one species becoming extinct and another appearing out of nowhere, and with no connection whatsoever to the extinct species, then there would be no need for it to be transitional.

Peace el topo

Now we are getting to the meat of this discussion. This is where I wanted to be many posts back.

Two entities A and B slightly different eras apart … one can ask did B come from A, because B looks like A and lived in the same region as A … Or can this similarity point to something else? Scientists the pro-evolution variety have failed to ask the second question, they have merely concluded that similarity is THE deterministic factor for the concept of “TRANSITION” - Not that they have seen the transitional act taking place because that would be PROOF. Now it will be impossible to SEE the act taking place because each transitional child would only be subtly different from the host organism. However fossils will help us determine that … All we need are hundreds of pregnant fossils spanning through the fossil record and seeing if there is a genetic shift of the unborn child towards the creature that is said to have evolved from it and to do this a number of times to create a chain … the chain must not be constituted of non-pregnant fossils … All fossils required to prove evolution must be pregnant otherwise there is no proof of the TRANSITION.

Coming back to the second question - What else can suggest the reason why different species that are found in the same locality are quite similar over different time zones? Well the fact that they both or all came from God. Life contains the “signature” of God. It’s like the argument of some Christians about the Qur’an - they say that Muhammad (SAW) copied the Bible. But they fail to see the fact that even the Qur’an states the other scriptures have come before. They the two of them independently came and confirm the same message.

The patterns that we see in the fossil record are analogous to other patterns but because we are able to draw lines between things i.e. dot to dot it does not mean that those dots are meant to be joined.
