Re: Why are Muslims against Evolution?!?
The burial chamber is evidence of what, the authenticity of Islam? If that’s the case, then the burial chamber of king tut should be evidence of the authentication of the ancient Egyptian religion. I dont see how Mozarts is ludicrous. The only difference I see is that we assume the Koran is divine, while Mozart is not. If Mozart had started a religion, we would have considered him a miracle. Had the RasoolAllah (SAW) wrote a major symphony at age 8, you would have used that as evidence of his authenticity as well.
Mozarts talent may well be a demonstration of the power of God or a natural variation, but you I assume take the extraordinary leap to conclude that it most definitely was an act of God, and not just any God, but God as portrayed in Islam. The belief that Mozart’s talent was a demonstration of Gods power is just an assumption, its not based on any amount of evidence. And in the same sense, the Koran itself, cannot be proven to be thee evidence to support the existence of God or the validity of Islam. Just as an Atheist could assume Mozarts is a natural variance, so could they say of RasoolAllah (SAW), and the Koran. The Koran in and of itself does not break any laws of nature. And as far as I can tell, there has been nothing so extraordinary in the history of Islam so as to lead us to believe that any law of nature has ever been broken. Yes we have second and third hand accounts, but these alone, you know as well as I are not evidence to make definitive conclusions. My point is, it may well be true, and Islam may well be the true relgion but where you see certainty, I see nothing more then extraordinary events, that could have played out with or without a God.
And going back to the topic of evidence, for the sake of argument, forget that evolution is a science, and religion a faith, lets put evolution and your faith on the same pedestal. Why do second or third person narratives constitute irrefutable evidence in the case of your relgion, but not in the case of evolution? I understand your point on they being opposite ends of the spectrum and not confusing the two. But just for sake of argument. Lets for a moment, understand them to be just two beliefs, without any prejudice.
