Peace yazdi

Then you say intelligence is an evolution there is absolutely no indication in this regard … if so we have not increased in intelligence over the past 5000 years at least … our advancement has been a result of guidance and building on discovery - never has it been about increasing in intelligence. Besides above I have highlighted the statement above … “ultimate intelligence” - this concept being associated with “humans” - so even if the community is not undermining God by rejecting Him they are undermining God by saying that an Attribute of His - “Ultimate Intelligence” can be shared by humans - which is shirk.

Some people even say that God is the product of our intelligence … that we developed imagination and then there was God. For sure all of these are supporting my argument … evolution has been promoted in such a manner that the dominant scientists of today can undermine and deny the existence of God.

@psyah..

While rejecting evolution outrightly you start ignoring other proven scientific facts as well.. evolution or no evolution.

1. Life forms exist on this planet for last three billion years. The are constantly changing, and the species which existed three billion or two billion or one billion years ago do not exist anymore.

2. Life forms have become more intelligent and complex with the passage of geological time. Again when you want to compare everything in 5000 year time span, and compare humans in their present form it is a scientific dishonesty. This kind of time lapse is insignificant on geological time scale.

3. Your argument that human intelligence has not grown significantly in last 5000 years is partly true. If the intelligence has grown this change must have been so insignificant that it can not be really gauged. What has really grown significantly in last five thousand years is the learning curve of humans. But again as I told you 5,000 years is nothing on geological time scale.

4. If this planet survives for say another billion or two billion years with goldilock (life sustaining) conditions all the present life forms including humans in their present form will become extinct, and the planet will be populated by some other species. And if evolution is true (there is a strong likely hood that it is) than the present genome resource available on this planet will use natural selection to form even more complex/intelligent life forms.

Human advancement has taken place with communication. The fact that all of us have different ideas and discuss/communicate with each other these ideas increases our learning experiences. Had we all carried the same ideas/and thought alike, there would have been very little scientific/intellectual advancement. We basically have inquisitive minds, and constantly explore/challenge presupposed ideas. To restrict these positive trends of human behavior and brand everything as shirk will restrict our intellectual advancement.. and I don’t think the Intelligent Designer who has designed us to follow this natural behavior has created us to follow this path..
