Re: Why are Muslims against Evolution?!?
My post still stands bru.
Life does not increase in order, it maintains order using all the free energy around us. We are an open system and in the most crude/simplest explanation we breathe in and out, we eat food and we poop, we drink water and we pee and we sweat thereby releasing heat and cooling ourselves (Amongst a whole load of other processes happening). What goes in, comes out too. Everything else decreases in order because that is what the universe or nature tends to.
Evolution is not intelligent, it does not need perfection nor does it give perfection. It requires a good enough combination of various factors already discussed in this thread and there is then the possibility that something more suited to the environment will be the result. Things like differential reproduction, variation and hereditary factors result in natural selection which ultimately can lead to evolution. Its just a highly likely process that Allah might have intended.
I don’t say evolution or a supreme creator. I say evolution might be the supreme creator’s way.
The problem here is that some people think believing in evolution means you disbelieve in God. It may just have been the way Allah willed. Saying no it was not so would be tantamount to knowing the will of Allah and that would almost border on Shirk. We are merely saying perhaps this is how we were supposed to be, Allah knows best.
