Why are Muslims against Evolution?!?

Re: Why are Muslims against Evolution?!?

Thanks Yazdi bhai.

I have read the arguments before and now. Also I have seen this video posted by T1000.

Very good video from Evolutionists perspective.

Needless to say:

**Evolution theory itself is evolving.
**
As times changes, like I said above the definition keeps changing to encompass the concepts which are feeded by the opponents to apease them.

Yet, the **theory remains largely a presumtion based on certain observed items.

**Life changing from single cell organism to complex organism is the basic concept but people forget that even single cell organisms are complex and very intelligently designed.

The whole genome change can never be observed to make a new species from other. That even evolutionists admit. And they say it takes x many years to evolve and they use **adaptation or mutations **as possible mechanism for change in species over time.

Basically, **retrosective analysis **of some broken ‘evidences’ are being used as a means to convince that this theory is somehow has validity.

So what is next ‘species’ to be developed after human? Any speculation?

Diwana bhai,

I have read your post carefully. Most of your criticism against evolutionary science is because of your wrong understanding of evolution. it’s not about forming complex life forms from single cells.. it’s not about speciation. It’s about genetic/DNA drift happening because of survival pressures.

Had it been about speciation, how do you explain the genetic drifts happening in bacteria which reproduce asexually. We have seen recent genetic drifts happening in bacteria developing resistance against antibiotics.

Moreover it’s not true that science examines observed evidence on pre-assumed theories. If that was true how do you take the observed evidence in case of bacteria developing resistance against antibiotics, or pests developing resistance against pesticides in very short span of time due to genetic drifts.

72 Nobel laureates signed a document in favor of evolution.. this was the single largest collection of nobel laureate signatures on one document. Every reputed university from Cambridge to Columbia teaches evolution as science. Do you think they are all dishonest, and have pre-assumed the theory without observed evidence. Remember science is all about the determination of certainty in the light of observed evidence.

Your approach towards science is very positive.. you want to explore science without religious/other prejudices. Study evolution with an open mind, and you will see it’s not what some people are telling you.. An overwhelming majority of scientists are neither stupid nor dishonest. There are mountains of observed evidence pointing towards evolutionary biology..

And as for definition of evolution changing.. somebody has misguided you again. The principle/definition has remained the same. With every new discovery our understanding is expanding..

Regarding your desire to speculate about the future of human beings.. If our planet survives further in enough geological times with goldilock conditions.. we can say with a high level of certainty that a time will come when our specie will become extinct.. like all the other species that have lived on our planet in the geological distant history of our planet.. and our planet will be populated by some different life forms..!!!
