Quran 29:20
Say: "Travel through the Earth and see how He began the Creation. Then,
Allah makes the latter Creation. Allah is capable of (doing)
everything".
24.45 . Allah has created every animal out of water . Of them (is a category which) walks upon its belly, (another which) walks upon two legs, and ( a third which) walks upon four . Allah creates what He wills. Allah is Able to do everything (He wants).
21: 30 Have not those who disbelieve seen (known) that the heavens and the Earth were of one connected entity, then We separated them (from each other), and We made every living thing out of water? Will they not then believe?
71.17. And Allah has caused you to grow out of the earth like plants.
32.7. (Allah is He) who has made everything He created better, and He began the creation of the human (being) out of clay.
Please read the article linked at the end of the video description for more Quranic verses about our evolution in this 1400 years old book.
A Message to Atheists:
Evolution theory and natural selection was the work of many scientists and philosophers. However, Muslim scientists contributed a lot to it and they didn't believe many myths from Greek philosophers like Aristotle who believed in spontaneous generation of life for example.
I'm a Muslim who strongly believes in evolution by design NOT in blind evolution and chance, natural selection and chance alone CANNOT make such a wonderful tree of life. Life in this universe is guided same as the universe itself is guided by ingenious laws that we just started to understand. If you think blind evolution and chance can bring sophisticated life answer the Quranic challenge in my other video:

If you still want to attribute evolution to the Greeks please send me a link with advanced knowledge like Muslim scientists had not just the vague ideas Greeks had about evolution, if you disagree ask John William Draper to change the name of evolution his book :)
A Message To Muslims:
-Eve from Adam's rib: Most of the ideas that contradict evolution among Muslims are from the myths of other religions which were imported to Islam and attributed falsely to the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Our father Adam (peace be upon him) was preferred or chosen over other people of his time as Allah stated clearly in Quran 3:33-34, just like Allah chose any prophet after him also Quran stated in these verses that all were "offspring", Adam was included and Allah is never short of words.

Our father Adam (peace be upon him) was preferred or chosen over other people of his time as Allah stated clearly in Quran 3:33-34, just like Allah chose any prophet after him also Quran stated in these verses that all were "offspring", Adam was included and Allah is never short of words.
-Creation of Adam in Heaven: There is no such thing in the Quran, Adam was reworded to stay in Heaven with his wife AFTER he won the contest against the angels (the naming of creatures) as Quran stated clearly in 2:35 and 7:19. When Adam disobeyed Allah and ate from the tree him and his wife were sent back to Earth.
-Why Adam disobeyed Allah? Because Allah didn't promise Adam to be immortal in Heaven, Adam was growing older and Satan promised him that if he ate from the immortality tree then he will not grow older. Quran: 20:120 and 7:20
-Creation of Adam from dust: We are all created from dust, just like our father Adam. Quran 18:37, Quran 30:20, Quran 35:11, Quran 40:67.
-Adam was created suddenly: Just This verse is enough to refute such claim and there are many others Quran 7:11: And We created you (humans, in plural form), then fashioned you (made you in the image you are, also addressing humans in plural form), then said to the angels: Prostrate to Adam!
-How can Adam be our father if there were many humans?: The children of the smart man that Allah chose were the most fit to survive to our days (survival of the fittest), there are many other human species which we found their fossils only and they didn't make it to our time.
-How Adam children got married? If Adam and Eve were the only humans then the only answer is that brothers married their sisters, do you accept such answer? Of course there were other humans and Adam children married them.
-Allah is NOT a wizard, He does NOT pull new stars and new galaxies from a magic hat and certainly He doesn't do that for new species. Allah created and planned this universe on scientific laws; evolution is just one of them. Evolution means way more ingenious creator than a wizard who had to come to Earth and pull species one after another because he couldn't plan that from the beginning and you know very well that Allah is the best planner, evolution was part of the plan from the beginning of creation of this universe.

MACRO EVOLUTION BY DESIGN
Evolution was an Islamic Theory Before Darwin was Even Born!

"O thou man!
Verily thou art ever
Toiling on towards thy Lord-
Painfully toiling, -but thou
Shalt meet Him...
So I do call
To witness the ruddy glow Of Sunset;
The Night and its Homing;
And the Moon
In her Fullness:
Ye shall surely travel
From stage to stage."
Surah 84 Inshiqaq verses 6, 16-19
Darwin's theory of Evolution describes a growth process that takes place in the biological or physical form that is necessary for us to survive. Natural selection states:
Natural selection is the means by which
beneficial variations in a population tend to be preserved while
unfavorable variations tend to be lost. One of the key concepts behind
the theory of natural selection is that there is variation within
populations. As a result of that variation, some individuals are better
suited to their environment while other individuals are not so
well-suited. Because members of a population must compete for finite
resources, those better suited to their environment will out-compete
those that are not as well-suited.
Darwin's theory of evolution was referred to by scholars of his time as the "Mohammadan theory of evolution of man from lower forms". Contrary to popular belief the theory of evolution NEVER stated that man evolved from apes and other misguided concepts blamed on that theory. Muslim scholars and scientists did not have the problems with evolution as Christians did and also as later Muslims does who never truly understood Darwin's theory of evolution. In fact the ideas proposed by Darwin about evolution was proposed by Muslim scientists hundreds of years before Darwin.
MACRO EVOLUTION BY DESIGN
The Muslim theory of evolution
By Ghaffar HassanDenying evolution not only puts Muslims out of touch with established science, it puts them out of touch with their own scientific heritage.
Is evolution compatible with Islam?
But things may not always have been this way. Traditionally, western scientists considered evolution a theory primarily promulgated by their Muslim counterparts. A contemporary of Charles Darwin, Sir William Draper, in his book 'The Conflict Between Religion and Science,' refers to “...the Muhammaden theory of the evolution of man from lower forms” (p188).
Draper's observation was based on the fact that Muslim scientists since the 9th century CE have been alluding to the idea that humans evolved from less sophisticated life forms over a long period of time.
Al-Jahiz (781-869 CE), a Muslim scholar based in present day Iraq, states in 'The Book of Animals':
Animals engage in a struggle for existence; for resources, to avoid being eaten and to breed. Environmental factors influence organisms to develop new characteristics to ensure survival, thus transforming into new species. Animals that survive to breed can pass on their successful characteristics to offspring.
Ibn Khaldun, perhaps one of the most famous Muslim Polymaths of all time, published a book called 'The Muqadimmah' in 1377 CE. In it he states:
One should then take a look at the world of creation. It started out from the minerals and progressed, in an ingenious, gradual manner, to plants and animals. The last stage of minerals is connected with the first stage of plants, such as herbs and seedless plants. The last stage of plants, such as palms and vines, is connected with the first stage of animals, such as snails and shellfish.
He adds:
The animal world then widens, its species become numerous, and, in a gradual process of creation, it finally leads to man, who is able to think and reflect. The higher stage of man is reached from the world of monkeys, in which both sagacity and perception are found...
There were also many other Muslim scholars, writing between the 9th and the 14th century, that expressed ideas similar to those of al-Jahiz and Ibn Khaldun. Persian scholar, Ibn Miskawahy (932-1030) provided perhaps the most vivid account of evolution from that period, seeking to harmonise it with the Quranic description of creation in the process.
So why didn't these ideas take off and integrate into the fabric of mainstream Muslim thought and society? There are a number of reasons.
Firstly, Muslim empires in the past believed in centralising knowledge rather than disseminating it en masse. Centres of learning, such as Baghdad and Cordoba, had their houses of knowledge in which scientists would work, preserving and developing on, primarily, Hellenistic knowledge. There was no printing press, and even when it did arrive it was rejected, thus such knowledge was largely reserved for an elite audience. When centres of learning were conquered and destroyed, as Baghdad was in 1256 by the Mongols, most of the knowledge was lost too.
Secondly, the religious authorities of the time were largely opposed to ideas being put forward by scientists and other rationalist thinkers such as Ibn Rushd, and before him, Ibn Sina. They felt threatened by non-theological attempts to ascertain truths and Muslim leaders often sided with the religious authorities for political reasons.
Thirdly, literalist and dogmatic strands of Islamic theology have been aggressively promoted all around the Muslim world over the past few decades or ever since huge oil deposits were discovered in the Arabian Gulf. The Saudi state, in an attempt at cultural imperialism, has done its best to mainstream Wahabi thinking in Muslim communities everywhere. The result: a retardation and stagnation of thinking in parts of the world that were already very stagnant.
Most conservative Muslims today feel threatened by the idea of evolution, especially since the evidence for it is over-whelming and an increasing number of believers are starting to accept it. History illustrates that this doesn't have to be the case. Evolution is not a modern western construct. Like most great ideas, it has been developed over hundreds of years by many great thinkers, from Aristotle all the way to Dawkins.
Most importantly of all, the theory of evolution today, especially with the advances in our understanding of DNA, is fact. Denying it not only puts Muslims out of touch with established science, it puts them out of touch with their own scientific heritage.

NY Times: A Pancaked Turtle Fossil’s 150-Million-Year-Old Tale
The specimen, Solnhofia parsonsi, dates to the Late Jurassic and was found in Bavarian limestone.
REBUTTAL BY
The
High Priests of Paleontology are peddling their latest planted
"discovery" -- a "beautifully preserved 150 million-year-old" turtle -- a
bit tooo "beautifully preserved" if you ask me. From whence do
these Fake Scientists come up with these dates? Did they find a
laminated birth certificate concealed in the fossilized shell of Tommy
Turtle? Even carbon dating of ancient artifacts -- which itself can be
problematic -- starts to become more and more ineffective when gauging
the age of something that's more than several thousand years old. Yet
these quackademic clowns with their rock-dating pseudoscience are
somehow able to peg Little Tommy at 150 million? This makes the climate
models depicting the meltdown of Antarctica due to CO2 "emissions"
almost seem realistic in comparison.
The use of the geological record to establish the age of fossils is an exercise in Circular Reasoning. If you strip away the clever camouflage (Complexity & Verbosity Fallacy), you will see that the Darwinists argue that fossils are 100 million years old because they are found in rocks that were formed 100 million years ago. The rocks are "known" to be 100 million years old because they contain the bones of dinosaurs that died 100 million years ago. The fossils are old because the rocks are old. The rocks are old because the fossils are old.
To an Atheistic Darwinist, the fossils are the definitive measure of age. It does not matter what the other evidence suggests. The ages as determined by the fossils in the rock are said to be conclusive. Behold the madness contained in a textbook chart entitled "Dating Rocks By Fossils".
Dating Rocks: We know, for example, that the multi-legged sea animals called trilobites were abundant from Cambrian to early Devonian times 590 to 408 million years ago- and continued until the Permian-up to 248 million years ago.
Rebuttal: "We know?" What do you mean “we know”? Exactly how do “we know” that these sea animals are 500 million years old? Did these creepy crawly common ancestors of ours also come with a Birth Certificate?
Dating Rocks: Therefore, if we find the fossil of a trilobite in a rock we can say that the rock is most likely Cambrian, Ordovician, or Silurian in age, although it may be Devonian, Carboniferous, or Permian. If we can identify the trilobite, that will be better still.”
Rebuttal: Oh, I get it now. The rocks are old because “we know” that the fossils are old. The fossils are old because the rocks are old, due to the fossils being old. Makes perfect sense now.

1.
Happy 150 Millionth Birthday, Tommy. You don't look a day older than
45! // 2. Circular madness is common among today's circle-jerking
"scientists" and various other "intellectuals."
Another classic fallacy -- Presumption Fallacy -- rears its its ugly head with this line:
"(The fossil) helps tell the story of how turtles first took to the seas." (emphasis added)
The Evolutiontards simply presume that many of our ancestral creatures came out of the sea -- settled on land -- with some of their later-era descendants deciding to "take to the sea" again. I kid you not, boys and girls. This is precisely what "educated" people are expected to believe. That means that somewhere along the line, members of our ancestral human tree had to have possessed characteristics such as gills and fins -- which they somehow shed in advance of (or after?) beaching themselves -- and then restoring them as they left land (whilst shedding their legs).
Some of these crackpot "scientists" cite the skin webs between our fingers as evidence of humanity's aquatic past. No one ever observed and recorded ANY of these "gradual transformations," of course. Yet somehow, the paleontologists do "know" that Evolution ™ happened so slowly that it did not leave a trace of observable forensic evidence; and because it didn't leave a trace of forensic evidence, we know that it must have happened so slowly as to be unobservable -- more Circular Reasoning! Finally -- applying the Appeal to Ridicule Fallacy -- Evolutionists will dismiss any doubters of the from-the-sea / back-to-the-sea fairy tale as religious fanatics.
The lunatic character Matthew Brady -- from the hyped-up "based on a true story" 1960 Communist propaganda film, "Inherit the Wind"
-- is used as an ultra-religious Straw Man for Henry Drummond (the
liberal hero lawyer) to rationally tear apart and drive to a screaming
nervous breakdown. Notice how they have Brady waving a fan that reads:
“Compliments of Mason’s Funeral Parlor." --- But who really are the "crazy" ones? See article images and headlines below!

New York Times Science Section
May 3, 1994 How the Whale Lost Its Legs And Returned To the Sea "Ages after some adventurous (or misadventurous) fish left the sea and planted the flag of vertebrate animal life on land, their descendants had it both ways as amphibians and then completed the epic transition, evolving into terrestrial reptiles, mammals and birds. But something about the water must have kept beckoning, until a few restorationists among the mammals did eventually reclaim a place in the sea." |
Though most Creationists don't realize it, the London-based superstition of Evolution ™ did not come about and catch on because Darwin and his circle of promoters were stupid men. No Sir. This had the Cabal''s fingerprints and money all over it. Cabal King Lionel de Rothschild, Karl Marx and Charles Darwin were all London-based when Darwin's bizarrely hyped up Origin of the Species was first published in 1859. The publicity and prestige behind it drowned out the voices of the true men of science who dismissed the theory as garbage. Much like the Climate Con of these past 40 years, or Stupid-19 mania of 2020, Evolution ™ took on a life of its own. By the turn of the century, most "educated" young men had already bought into it.
As explained in God vs Darwin (by yours truly) -- the true purpose behind the invention of Evolution ™ is simply this: Eliminate the concept of an Intelligent Creator and the natural moral law which flows from that belief -- and replace it with moral relativism and the worship of "intellectuals." That is why Marx and his crew of commies quickly got excited about Evolution ™ and wasted no time in aggressively promoting it to the Red faithful.
German Communist Jewish leader Wilhelm Liebknecht (whose son, Karl, later established a short-lived Communist government in Berlin after the World War I collapse of 1918) described just how excited the 19th Century Communist leaders (including Marx and Engels) all were about the new theory:
"When Darwin drew the conclusions from his research work and brought them to the knowledge of the public, we spoke of nothing else for months but Darwin and the enormous significance of his scientific discoveries.”
*
The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion also state that it was the Jewish Cabal which was responsible for "the success" of Darwinism as a tool for undermining the belief in God among the "goyim." So you see, boys and girls, there's a lot more to the story of Tommy the 150-million-year-old turtle than most can even imagine. But now you know.
|
|
|
Marx,
Engels and Liebknecht. The Big 3 legends of 19th Century Communist
subversion were all obsessed with Darwinism. It served the purpose of
promoting Atheism and also in arguing that Communism was the natural
evolutionary destination for society.
