that's the point of the book...that there's something else out there.  like any religion.

Answer 3

Evolution my behind. It doesn't exist. That's a disgrace and insult to Allah's creation.

Peace for all!

Answer 4

If you are speaking only of evolution and not creation, here's a cut and paste from the cited website:

In practical terms, if we take the theory of Evolution as a means by which Allah diversifies life on earth to show us His majesty and ability, then He alone, for instance, causes a nucleotide base to be deleted or added in a DNA sequence, thereby causing a frameshift mutation, which leads to the birth of a new species, which represents an evolutionary superior to its genetic predecessor, which passes on its DNA to its progeny, which results in a subsequent mutation, ad infinitum. Furthermore, Allah not only starts this process but He also sustains and directs every second of its execution and development.

Answer 5

If Science today is not even compatible with Evolution (theory), how can the Qur’an be – which is compatible with Science? You and many others might disagree, but little knowledge of science makes man an atheist, but an in-depth study of science makes him a believer in God.

The evolution scenario that life generated from non-living matter by chance is disproved by science today. The whole theory of evolution, Darwinism, collapsed in the early twentieth when the laws of inheritance were discovered.

Remember when Scientists came up with the Evolution ‘theory’ (Darwins time) Science was not advanced at all. In those days, genetics, micro-biology, or bio-chemistry did not exist at all as branches of science. The laws of inheritance were not known at all. However, science has advanced A LOT in the last 100 years, and not compatible with Darwinism at all. There is no mechanism in nature, to carry out the alleged process called evolution. There is no natural mechanism whereby a single cell can be transformed in to a more complex living creature, and then go on and become the ancestor of millions of different living species. All disproved by science today!

EDIT: They have even scrapped teaching Darwinism (Theory of evolution, evolving from apes) in some (English) schools in England. It was just a wild imagination by Darwin.

Answer 6

Evolution says that apes evolved into humans. Quran says that the first people on Earth were Adam and Eve. It's not compatible.

Answer 7

evolutions iz false! i ddnt come from some wild crazy monkeyz...

Answer 8

No it's not compatible. In the Qur'an, Adam and Eve were the first humans. Evolution says that humans came from monkeys.... so no, they aren't compatible.

Answer 9

theory of evolution?

i don't believe it.

heh, monkeys "evolve" into humans?

what would that make of Adam pbh...

Answer 10

I agree with Karina. I like what Huran Yahya says about it. I read his books and he makes so alot of sense. Visit his website sometime.

Answer 11

Yeah it is. And as to me from what i've comprehended it has a major role.

Answer 12

As far as i know, evolution doesn't contradict what God said in the Qur'an, but neither did God say anything to imply that evolution and only evolution is the truth. it doesn't seem to matter.
