Re: Why are Muslims against Evolution?!?

See Psyah i dont want to make it “Is islam a real religion or not” detabe.
but all the “miracles” you have mentioned are not solid in any way. IF only people of that time saw that miracle then what about people today who seek answers in form of miracles. why would be have to just take the words of people before us. I can quote you literally Thousands of miracles claims by prophets, messangers and gods which were and accepted and verified by people of the time.
And the whole miracle thing goes as back as millions of years back and as recent as yesterday.

There are other religious books too of different religions who can also be considered to be miracles, so what does it make it? just a faith right? not evidence.
and prophecies are done by all sorts of people with better accuracy but we dont call them prophets. prophecies are tricky business, please dont confuse prophecy with prediction.

I dont see any real miracle today to take it as evidence.

on the other hand science provides you evidences which you can reproduce for all to see. scientific evidences are right in front of you to see and they will be there for you and for your generations to come. if something can be done yesterday then it can be done today as well.
If science said that newton proved his theory to people of its time only and today if we were only supposed to take those people’s words then no one would believe in those theories.
your belief and faith are hardly an evidence to prove a material thing.
Evolution remains fact unless proven other wise because so far only evidence we found supports evolution and darwin’s theory.

I totally agree with you … Read my previous post … the second to last paragraph - In essence as a Muslim I’m not looking for proof, I’m looking for guidance. As a scientist I’m looking for proof. Evolution is merely as good as any other religion is at providing support for itself - hence it is not a science it is a belief.

Let me quote you … “which you can reproduce for all to see” … I have seen no one able to demonstrate the reproduction of evolution and when I say evolution I mean the speciation aspect of it.
