What does ur religion say aout evolution??!!??

Question

ok i'll start!!
about evolution in Islam, first , we muslims believe that God is the Absolute Controller of every event that has taken place, is taking place, and will take place.
There are many theories of evolution. Some of them are acceptable according to Islam, while there are others that are not acceptable.
If by evolution one means the development and growth that God Almighty has placed in the nature of His creation, then this is acceptable and the Qur'an itself talks about it.
for example, God has power to say "Be" and everything will become. But He created the heaven and earth in six days, as mentioned in the Qur'an .
The word "six days" does not necessarily mean six days of 24 hrs duration each. It could also mean six periods whose duration is known to God alone.
The theory of evolution that postulates that the whole creation came by itself and nature evolved itself by mutation, selection and fixation, et cetera, is not acceptable in Islam.
to be continued.....

nature has so many possibilities and variables; how could all these variables have selected, mutated and fixed themselves in such a way that an orderly universe came out and continues to exist and flourish?

To say that all these things happened by themselves is nothing but absurd. It is like saying that words collapsed, mutated and then fixed into a wonderful encyclopedia by themselves.
Nothing happened or happens by itself. There is a Creator Who has created everything, whether at once or through the process of growth and development.
Islam also teaches us that human beings are a special creation of Allah. Allah created Adam and his wife Eve (p b. u .t), and then through them created many men and women. We do not accept the theory (it is important to keep in mind that this is only a theory and not a fact) that says that all living organisms came from matter and man evolved from lower living organisms. There is a link between the human body and other living organisms, but..

There is a link between the human body and other living organisms, but this does not prove that one is evolved from the other.

thanks .

Answer 1

I agree with you about islam idea about evolution according to what Allah said in Holy Qura'n (What means) : verily, we created man from an extract of clay; then we placed him as a drop of sperm in a safe depository ; then we fashioned then we fashioned the sperm into a clot then we fashioned the clot into a shapeless lumb ; then we fashioned bones out of the shapeless lumb ; then we closed the bones with flesh ; then we developed it into another creation . So blessed be ALLAH the best of creators " surat Almo'menoon ,, ayat 12,13,14

Answer 2

Evolution is accepted in Roman Catholicism, although it is not an idea we hold as a concrete truth. In fact, most traditional Catholics will deny any possibility of it. However, a concept of general evolution is acceptable, as in when a species evolves to adapt to its environment. Humans couldn't have evolved from apes because apes don't have souls and humans do. Now humans could have evolved from a caveman deal that very much resembled an ape, but they haven't changed species.

Dinosaurs are a touchy topic in our faith. While it's pretty much accepted that they existed, a few Catholics take the flood story in Genesis a bit more literally than others. It says God had Noah put two of every animal on the ark. These select Catholics will argue that if dinosaurs really existed then Noah must have put them on the ark. Since no evidence has been found of dinosaurs surviving the flood, a different theory exists as well (one that I find humorous and very plausible), that God planted artificial dinosaur bones here to keep us wondering.

Answer 3

It is symbolic. To "create" means to put and keep something in existence. God is Creator because He puts and sustains everything in existence. He is the maker and final goal of everything that exists, all things visible and invisible.

The truth of creation means that God's loving creativity builds into each of us a meaning, purpose and destiny which nothing can take away from us.

Does the Genesis account of creation contradict the scientific theory of evolution? No. In affirming that God is the ultimate cause of all that exists, Genesis gives its ultimate meaning and purpose - "Why" the world exists. It does not explain "how" the physical world came to be in its present condition, which the theory of evolution tries to explain.

Grace and peace!

Answer 4

HI
JWs do not believe the theory of evolution the bible is the only record on this earth of how the earth was form, the bible forgot where says that a creative day is 7 thousand years, a day of judgment is 1 thousand years the answers are there just gotta search, the bible says that Jesus the first born of all creation God's only begotten son (the only thing God created by himself) created everything else, he made them adults so they could procreate. Which came first the chicken or the egg definitely the chicken. Could evolution seriously happen with two perfect species that could procreate together? Could it also do that with every species on earth? No way we are specially designed and made this way. the odds are against it.

hello
in Muslims prayers once you finish you say
Islam 3alaikum wara7matu Allah turning ur head to right side
the same again you say turning ur head to left hand side
to Muslims itr is known why .it is to the angels who are accompanied each of us writing his deeds.
would that be possible two angels with me ?
strange right?
but how many other things the world would not know and the koran spoke about 1400 years ago.
in Islam god says "aqrab elayhi min 7abl elwareed" meaning that god in nearer to oneself than the hearts veins
in Islam god says that he knows what you say in loud voice and what one have hidden to himself
is Islam if you aimed to do good and you failed in doing it so god will regard that as if you did the good and you ll be rewarded
but if you aimed to do bad .and failed in doing it it is as if you did nothing
in Islam each one would have a book in which all his deeds are written." once we were young and do not understand (god) such a sentence was so difficult to understand.i need one book to write for what i did in one day so how book that could be
so look now with the advance of knowledge what a human (person) can put on CD so knowledge helps a person to understand more
i wonder what other things in the future will appear that it was there in the Koran for over 1400 years but our knowledge deficient did not enable us to understand.

Answer 6

my religion worries more about the spirituality and the application of such to people that are living today, and not really where they came from in the beginning.

we have our creation story. we have our rituals and customs that can be traced back 15,000 years. to us the old stories are sacred and hold much information. but many simply may not apply today.

i feel that the gods made the planet, but not the universe. i believe that they are part of a living universe. and as such would have had no power to create it. as for where it came from..dont know dont really want to know. because the gods made the planet i feel that each one selevted a species to represent the qualities that that god held to be importent.

and that the human species was fought over for our many qualities. i believe that many gods made many different races of humans in different parts of the world.

and i believe that evolution may have been the tool used by them to accomplish this.

Answer 7

I'm pagan and I like evolution. it's natural and it makes more sense than the whole world created in 6 24hour days. I also think that the Gods/Goddesses have a hand in making things nice.. I mean there's no real evolutionary need for a platypus is there?

Answer 8

My Church, the Church founded by Jesus Christ, says nothing about biological evolution as such, since it is a matter of biology, not theology. However, its teaching does include two points: (1) That God is the origin of the natural world and all its natural processes; and (2) that human beings could not have come into existence by biological evolution alone, since humans are not merely biological beings. Humans have a biological nature (which could have evolved through a process designed by God - the Bible doesn't say otherwise), but also a spiritual nature which makes us "in God's image and likeness". Nothing spiritual can come about through a biological process. Therefore the creation of mankind had to occur by a direct act of God, whether He used biological evolution to fashion man's body "from the dust of the earth" or not.

Answer 9

i will ignore on the subject of the .. approximately courting with CD **Evolution is a faith on account which you're able to desire to have confidence to have confidence in it. to quote your god: "the actuality of evolution is the backbone of biology, and biology is consequently interior the strange place of being a technology consistent with a some distance better thought, is it then a technology or faith?" (Charles Darwin).

Answer 10

Religion has nothing to say about evolution. Evolution needs to be approached with math and statistics. I have found that it does not cut the muster.

Science is limited to the physical. Your soul is eternal. The Bible deals with what is eternal where science cannot venture. The physical realm will pass away, and science will pass away with it. What you want to do is latch onto that which will last forever, and that is the Word of God.

Science deals with understanding and comprehending creation. Religion deals with the understanding and comprehension of the Creator.

Luke 21:33
“Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.
