Re: Why are Muslims against Evolution?!?
Diwana bhai,
what are you trying to say.. I had already posted the link on top of that piece of information and never claimed them to be my original words. I posted them for the readers to study about the misconceptions about evolution which are so naively being advocated in this thread. I hope it helped you clarify a lot of misunderstandings which you might have developed reading some of the posters.. and I hope you will appreciate my effort with an open mind.
Diwana bahi,
You are mixing mathematics with science. There is no such thing as “Q.E.D”.. quod erat demonstrandum in science.. Strictly in scientific terms:
"Lack of proof isn’t a weakness, either. On the contrary, claiming infallibility for one’s conclusions is a sign of hubris. Nothing in the real world has ever been rigorously proved, or ever will be. Proof, in the mathematical sense, is possible only if you have the luxury of defining the universe you’re operating in. In the real world, we must deal with levels of certainty based on observed evidence."…
I gave you the example of the high probability of existence of alien life forms due to observed evidence.. I doubt you have been actually reading the discussion and also understanding it..
In the case of living organism.. there are two possibilities.. one is evolution.. and the other is that the complex life forms just appeared abruptly in the recent geological history.. these are the only two possibilities according to the credible observed data of the geological history of our planet..
Out of these two possibilities evolution has strong foot print evidence pointing towards the likely hood of this phenomena to be true.. while the later has zero observed evidence pointing towards it’s validity except the words of some priests with a specific faith based literal religious understandings.
This is the reason that 99.8% of the scientist with some reputable credentials favor evolution over creationist theory.. my effort in this thread is to show the real situation on this issue to our readers.. I have shown to the readers that evolution does not clash with some interpretations of religion and scriptures.. today as per the official position, Vatican Pope and Arch Bishop of Canterbury believe evolution to be a very likely phenomenon.. I have shown muslim scholars like Mududi, Dr. Israr. and Ghamidi do not have a problem with evolution.. I have shown that if true evolution can be one of the laws of nature created by the Intelligent Designer to modify life forms… it’s the religious understanding of some literal religionist with closed mindset who have a huge problem with accepting evolution as a strong probability.. That’s all..!!!
