Re: Why are Muslims against Evolution?!?
I wasn’t talking about you guyssss… I’ve read through this entire thread and I noticed how some people haven’t contributed anything to the discussion apart from laughing at the “opposition”. That’s what I was referring to. Khair chaddo. You guys are cool!
As for picking and choosing scientific theories, well why not? Didn’t people agree that science and religion can go hand in hand? I acknowledge certain elements of the theory of evolution while insisting upon the supremacy of Allah swt in the process. I think they refer to this as “Theistic Evolution” i.e. evolution is a tool employed by God to develop life forms. Whether that applies to human life too? It isn’t clear (in religion) so I don’t know.
I think this is the best we can do, right? Instead of believing in intelligent design (which leaves no room for evolution) or believing in all elements of evolution (which leaves room for many questions) we can pick and choose bits from both until we fully understand which we perhaps never will. As I said, it is the least of my worries anyway.
