Re: Why are Muslims against Evolution?!?
First of all, here is the definition of what a belief is.
be·lief/biˈlēf/Noun
- An acceptance that a statement is true or that something exists.
- Something one accepts as true or real; a firmly held opinion or conviction
Now this “belief” can be a belief in a scientific principle, you accept a 'scientific" principle to be true or a :“belief” that a religious doctrine is true.
The difference in the two beliefs is that Evolution is based on actual evidence, while religion is not.
And of course religion doesn’t provide any scientific proof. And thats the issue here. Relgion does however claim to be the truth, and we accept this claim that our religion is “true” based on no evidence. Im willing to leave it at that. I dont ask for any extraordinary evidence to support Islam. I dont ask for something unreasonable, like for instance, wanting God to personally hand me a coffee right at this moment. No, all I ask is that my faith be logical, and thats all. But then I also dont ask for unreasonable amounts of evidence to support evolution or any other science either, asking only for a logical and reasonable amount of evidence to support it, which it has in abundance.
When scientists say they offer proof, its proof beyond a reasonable doubt. The doubts you raise are beyond unreasonable, they are irrational.
Science is not written in stone and no Scientists can ever say that it is. If real evidence is shown to disprove evolution, then evolution will be dropped. The reason it hasnt been dropped is because there hasnt been such evidence, but quite the opposite.
The reason your being dishonest is because you are allowing one belief to affect the other. You yourself are mixing religion and science. The Pro-Evolutionist who expressed your opinion, as Psyah saab pointed out, accepted that science and religion are two separate things, but he did not allow his relgious belief to bias his scientific understanding. While you claim that your relgious belief is seperate from your understanding of Science, you are in fact allowing you religion dictate your understanding of Science, so your entire opinion is prejudiced against Science to begin with. And so your being disingenuous.
