directly that is entirely
different, and there is no one
that says fish evolved to
amphibians directly. And even
at the stage of fish that move on
mud by their fins, there is no
one ever saying that a fish living
in water transferred to an
amphibious fish (mudskipper).
And some people misconstrue
evolution in that the habits
don’t get transferred, while he
does not know the priorities of
evolution, and the
differentiation intended is a
gene differentiation and not a
differentiation of habit or
behavior.
So walking on two feet that
distinguish mankind for
example didn’t happen from the
result of a habit – the habit itself
has no value – because it is not
hereditary. What is happening
is a process of natural selection,
to members that contain their
preferred genes. In general,
denying evolution today is like
denying that the earth was
round back in the times.
And the rational evidences that
the Qur’an presents does not
clash against the theory of
evolution. So evidence for what
is non-existent is not capable of
producing – “Or were they
created without a thing, or are
they creators” (Toor:35). This
does not clash against the
theory of evolution and no one
would picture that there is a
clash with it except an ignorant.
Yes, it is possible to assume that
there is a clash with the theory
of the Big Bang taking into
consideration the M-theory and
quantum theory, you can
interpret the appearance of the
universe from non-existence
and this is a universal theory
wider than the limitations of
this earth.
