So You Have a Problem With Evolution

"God, who created the heavens and the earth and all between them in six days and then Sit on the throne what you without Him guardian or intercessor do you not remember" Sajdah 4. "Say ye deny Him Who created the earth in two Days? ascribe Equals with Him the God of the Worlds,and placed therein from above it and blessed it and As much as Sustenance in four days for both asking and then turned to the heaven when it was smoke, and said it and the earth: Come both, willingly or unwillingly saying we came obedient , made them seven heavens in two days and He inspired in each heaven its order, and adorned the lower heaven with lamps and preserved that is Ability God Glory Knowing,, "fousselat 9-12. "We made the sky a ceiling preserved as they are exposed for its verses does not reflectis He who created night and day, sun and moon, each floating in an orbit" Prophets 32-33. "Have they not those who disbelieve see that the heavens and the earth were joined together ripped them apart and made ??from water every living thing do you not believe in" the prophets 30. "We have built the sky hands and We will expand" Althariaat 47. "Blessed is He Who made constellations in the skies and placed therein a Lamp and a Moon giving light," Alfourkan 61 "Who created the seven heavens one above another, what you see in the creation of inequality Rahman then go back sight do you see of slots" The King 3.

"We built above you seven firmaments" Elnabaa 12

It would be correct to say that some folks have a problem with the evolution hypothesis/idea because it threatens (or insults) their faith. Other folks have taken the time to look into the theory and have come away knowing of the many holes.. fa-ar too many to put into a simple discussion.. I'll bet you believe the bible says the world is flat! lol..

What is the evidence that the creation story is a myth?

Hi Chiang, Science and spirituality are two different concepts from some perspectives. One is material while the other is ephemeral. To reconcile explanations of certain phenomena using the two approaches often result in conflict, inconsistencies and outright confusion. A common ground, however can be achieved, such as the orderly processes in the whole universe out of the seemingly chaotic conditions all around. Without the idea of a supreme being, all questions shall stop right at the grave of the one who asked for explanation, no more, no less. With spiritual insights, a scientific mind expands to limitless boundaries of possibilities without sacrificing the truth. So, everything has its proper beginning, evolution and ending, the reasons for being all brought to clear understanding in the light of scientific and spiritual views.

In Islam science is inseparable from religion ... All that stated in the written Quran has proven by science,, It came down since more than 1400 years at a time when the world was living in the darkness of ignorance .. There have been phases in which the creation of the universe, as demonstrated by modern science exactly .. As for the theory of evolution it is a wrong theory ,it remains just a theory, and Darwin himself admitted that it would collapse if we did not find evidence of it!!! . God said in his book " We have created man in the best calendar [Fig 4], namely, that the Almighty has created us as human beings in the best picture not monkeys ,and our development as claimed by Darwin.

There are no myths when it comes to Christ. I have seen miracles with my own eyes. Someday you will find that out my friend. The state this world is in right now is described in the bible for you to read about. Everything is created by something or someone. That's the way it has always been and always will be. Where do you think the good comes from in this world? Where do you think the evil comes from in this world? Everyone is entitled to their opinion. But I know for sure what I know. And what I know is the truth!

No problem with evolution . It is aproven fatc.

You inspired me. I'm going to start believing the world is flat. It sure looks flat from where I am standing. All those pictures of the Earth from space are just from Hollywood. It's not real. OK!OK! At some point people must start looking at the evidence rather than relying on mere beliefs of how we feel about things.Science continues to study and search for answers. Religion does not. If a person believes religion has all the answers, they just quit searching for the answers. We should always strive for truth rather than beliefs. Disclaimer::: The world isn't really Flat no matter how flat it seems where you live. Don't you believe it!!!

The only problem I have with evolutionary science, is that it isn't scientifically proven or supportable. Other than that minor problem, it's as good a myth as any other. As for process of plate tectonics, that's fine, unless you assume that current day aspects absolutely must be consistent over history, which is no science. That again is myth.

I'm a Christian, and I also fully believe in evolution. I think a process that is so involved and magnificent (not to mention something that makes life so much easier for all living species on earth to live on a constantly changing planet) would have been a perfect "invention," if you will, for God to create for his other creations. People don't have to live without science to believe in God, nor do they have to be "godless" to believe in science. The two actually fit quite well together. I believe God created this universe, the human race and all other races on this earth and on any other planets that happen to be lucky enough to support life. I believe that life is also evolving and has evolved for millions upon millions of years, and that is fascinating to me. I am personally extremely interested in many sciences...geology, anatomy, dietetics, astronomy, thermodynamics, to name a few of my favorites. No science proves God doesn't exist, nor do I really believe that relying on science and/or religion and ever disprove the other. Science is physical and deals with what we can touch, feel, learn, and theorize. Faith is not physical and deals with belief, which is far more complex. How can you truly use either of those to make an argument against the other? On a last note, although I do believe in evolution, I'll go on and answer your question on plate tectonics and the like. How do I feel about it? That it's amazing, like anything else. What I find particularly intriguing is that we could create a map of what Pangea most likely looked like so long ago simply because of the fossils of alike species we found on the edges of different continents. When you look at the evidence we have of where various species of, say, dinosaurs existed, and then you see the continents how they were back in those times, it's like fitting the last piece of a puzzle into place.

Ah Chiang Mai boy..I agree..science and the truths it reveals should be accepted, and we need to wonder about god's abilities with it rather than refuting it. As long as mumma cooks the food and we eat it when we are children, we dont really know how much of love and care goes into it. When we start cooking our food, we realize its not as easy as sitting at the table and helping ourselves. It makes us wonder isn't it, how mumma managed to make it taste so good? I feel science is something like that. God has used scientific principles all the way. He has that kinda brains. Everytime I understand the genius, my heart is filled with awe.

I think evolution is a man made religion which tries to explain the origin of life without the need of a creator.Unfortunately for me it is a nonsense and the worst thing is it doesn`t give us a purpose for our life (if we don`t count that silly term named mankind or humanity ) .If we accept evolution then we should also accept the natural laws or survival of the fittest and we should live our lives according to that.But the human noticed he has a conscience which came from nowhere so how do you fit that inside evolution ? Ok let`s invent terms like mankind or humanity.

Just to clarify are you talking about evolution that we come from Apes? The continental drift is fact, but the plate tectonics is only a theory. I think that science and creation go together. It's impossible to have creation without science and impossible to have science without creation.

evolutionary science is not but however it can not fully explained how do we evolve. let us say that we came from the form of an ape, how about the apes, where did they came from? let us think that myths has an answer to this same with religious beliefs. i agree on most science observations,creations,and discoveries, actually almost of them, but on how we evolve, i am not convinced on even 60%.

The problem I have with evolution is that we have removed ourselves from evolutionary pressure. The problem to which you refer is not a problem to me all the best urban

Continental drift is a real and complex science, our earth core is like a inferno and powerful permanent magnet, the convective and radiative heat wave is constantly affecting the earth tectonic plates structure that make up our ocean and continental floor, it is not an evolution but is a more complicated earth science that is full of surprises.

All I have to say is, what did you get yourself into Chiang? lol

I chosed you some verses in the Quran about the creation of the universe, and proven by science,There are plenty of verses about the creation of the universe and the stages of the creation of man can be seen by anyone who likes to come with a copy of the meanings of the Quran translated in its original language. If you did , and need to ask about something you don't understand tell me please

I'm not a religious person, but I consider myself spiritual person. Certainly, there are things that science can't explain, at least not yet, and that's where philosophy and religion coming on the scene. As for evolution, it's obvious in everyday life. If one looks to the domesticated animals and plants, it's obvious that they are different from the ones they originated from. And for me it's just a form of man made evolution (or use of it's principles). And if a man genetically modifying animal or plant, to create something new, is that puts him next to g/God?

Religion and science never really can cross paths and agree on one thing, they are like two parallel lines that keeps moving forward. I mean there are things that even science can't explain, thats where religion comes to play. As for the process of evolution, there is no doubt about that, as now, we can even witness evolution of some species, only at an extremely slow rate. As for plate tectonics or continental drift? I dont think it has anything to do with people's religious beliefs. Or is your question asking about a spiritual/religious connection to them?
