Why are Muslims against Evolution?!?

Re: Why are Muslims against Evolution?!?

  1. The life forms are “changing” on this planet, as the passage of geological time.. Species which existed 2/3 billion years ago do not exist anymore. Species which exist today did not exist in the past.. Although evolution is not a conclusively proven scientific fact, but this changing of life forms/species is a proven fact beyond a shadow of doubt.

  2. Generally the life forms have become more complex and intelligent over the passage of geological time.. and this is also a proven scientific fact. The early life forms were simple microbes/bacteria which inhibited the planet.

  3. Evolution through natural selection is not conclusively proven as a scientific fact, but regarded as the best possible explanation human have ever come forward with to explain the above mentioned proven scientific facts/changes…

My position is as my previous posts.. there is no science in scriptures unless you let your imagination really go wild. For me you are committing the same fallacy with the above mentioned example..

Again you are committing a very big scientific fallacy by comparing apples with oranges. Still a vast majority of life forms on our planet our microbes. These microbes are also not the same compared to microbes of distant geological time.

If evolution is conclusively not proven, it is also conclusively not disapproved. There is a concept of natural selection as far as evolution is concerned. Natural selection of better survival genes for mutation means the species evolve differently from each other as per their requirements through a process of natural selection.

The term “life forms becoming more complex and intelligent” should be understood for each individual species as their requirements are instead of comparing dogs with cats.

“The difference between you and I is that you have already drawn conclusion of the scientific exploration based on your faith, while I am open minded to any logical conclusion as per scientific indications. Although you perfectly understand these basic scientific findings, but would like to twist them to meet your ultimate desired goal/conclusion.. thus comparing simple species of present times with complex species of past times to prove your already fixed conclusion..”

I am saying generally intelligence and complexity of species is growing. Whether there was a significant increase in human intelligence or not in last five thousand years is not a conclusive evidence to reject evolution.. as I pointed out that these time spans on geological time scales are insignificant.

Just the existence of human beings is an evidence of this growing intelligence. The fact that never in the past 3 billion year history of life forms on this planet, any specie as intelligent as human beings ever existed.

If evolution is true.. and there is a necessity by humans to use more and more of their brains.. who knows our specie will evolve in to something more complex and intelligent through natural selection by our genes.. in due course of geological times..

Let’s define miracle before you use this term to make your point.
For me a miracle is something which goes against the laws of nature to achieve a certain specific objective.
In this case I made a reference to goldilock conditions for sustenance of life forms as a law of nature.
Miracle will happen when life forms are discovered outside these goldilock condition.
So please don’t use science to prove your already fixed agendas. These are the things which make literal religious minded people really look dishonest when they perform these mental acrobats for preaching religion as per their understanding…

To assume that evolution is suggesting that with ample lapse of geological time godlike creatures will be evolved.. is never suggested by evolutionist.. but anti evolutionist would make this kind of accusation to criticize the evolution..

Most of the scientific community is agnostic about things which they can not comprehend with their present mental capacity. I think it is more honest approach compared to literal religionist who have answers for everything with or without logic..
