@psyah: “However our faith does not tell us to abandon reason”…

that’s good. So it’s ok to apply reason. When you apply reason, it contradicts blind acceptance, especially in certain matters, the Adam & Eve thing being one of them.

mind you, almost similar dilemna exists with the so called scientific theory of evolution as well.

Hence I believe the need for some open minded search that goes beyond these two theories.

Peace La Parisienne

That may seem to hold water but you see there are other forms of reason that you are not considering. Reason in the content matter of a statement is subject to open minded searching that is fine … however when it comes to the Qur’anic scripture our reason to accept it is:

a) Prophet Muhammad (SAW) never told lies
b) The Qur’an is the Word of God (all of it) and RasoolAllah (SAW) narrated it to us.
c) We trust it has been transmitted correctly because of the verses being tawatur (fully referenced and transmitted)

Then if there are any subjects matters outside our immediate understanding we accept them without understanding … this is the reasoning behind the Qur’anic verses acceptance.
