Re: Why are Muslims against Evolution?!?
Ooh I guess ‘Chor Ki Dari Mein Tinka’ :o
Why you’re alright too!
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 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.
Scientific evidence pretty much states that it applies to human life too. But then there’s a lot of text to go through. I’ll say fair play, I understand your position. So yeah, Allah knows best!
