There is no need to engage and play on the turf of atheists and anti Muslim quarters. Even fundamentalist Christian and Jews reject this Ape transforming into Human theory. If someone comes up with a baloney and over time people start believing it as a fact, that doesn't change the vary nature of the non sense. When science itself has now rubbished this evolution theory, why you are looking for other scientific ways to prove or disapprove it? Why it is still part of syllabus in Pakistan, where clearly, it contradict what Quran tell us? Why Turkey has removed this from its curriculum?
You cannot prove the matters which are beyond the laws of realm we are in. You cannot prove God by some scientific mythology or equation because he is the one who created these laws himself and he is not bound by them. The matters of "unseen" are beyond our intellectual capacity and limitation. And that is where our beliefs come in, our religion. Those who do not believe in our religion, good on them , we have no compulsion to engage with them or satisfy them. But to force their views and ideas in our society, that is criminal.
You misunderstood my point.
I did not ask anyone to provide any extra scientific new scientific evidence. I do not believe we evolved from monkeys. I believe that Darwin proposed a theory and that was widely accepted by the Scientific community. Today there is evidence that contradicts aspects of his theory, particularly the suggestion that humans evolved from monkeys.
When I was at school evolution theory was presented as the truth. Today holes have been poked in that truth, by science itself. I don't want our education system taking a creationist approach to evolution theory, or any widely accepted scientific theory. The "close your eyes and ignore it" approach leads to Jahiliya. We don't want exam papers where questions are answered "because God intended it to be that way".
Evolution theory is still a significant and relevant scientific concept, evolution has undeniable proof, even human evolution, but the idea we came from monkeys is stupid. Our different skin colours, our different diets, our different tolerances to spice/alchohol etc - all part of human evolution.
I want our children to be taught evolutionary theory because as it stands, it's sound scientific fact. I don't want them being taught we evolved from monkeys, but we need to address the elephant in the room. We need to address that from a scientific perspective as well as a theological one. If i was teaching a classroom of children evolution theory, i'd mention the human/monkey nonsense - i'd tell them our religious perspective of it and i'd tell them about the scientific evidence that contradicts it.
If in the future there was another such theory, which was widely adopted as fact, that was in contradiction to what we understand in the Quran, and there was no scientific evidence to contradict it - i'd still want our children to be taught that theory, i'd still want them to be taught our theological perspective and i'd still want them to know there is no scientific evidence yet to contradict this theory.
Science is the limit of known human knowledge at any particular time. As time evolves what we know increases or changes and sometimes fact becomes fiction and other times fiction becomes fact. Our children must know and u
Allah swt has stated his creation is something we should learn. The only thing that is off limits to our comprehension is his being and of course that which is not intended to be kown by us. No amount of searching will reveal that, but that doesnt mean we stop searching.
