Yesterday; I was "Samuraized".
Ha ha ha.
Lord "Nobonaga" had an "Oda" which took us to a debate that ended with the Samurai attempt. I just don't like "Oda"s.
Seriously though; I think evolution is quite believable, even if an Islamic belief was present. The creation of "Adam" included the following verse:
Quote:Sura 15, Page 263, The Quran:
( 26 ) And We did certainly create man out of clay from an altered black mud.
( 27 ) And the jinn We created before from scorching fire.
( 28 ) And [mention, O Muhammad], when your Lord said to the angels, "I will create a human being out of clay from an altered black mud.
( 29 ) And when I have proportioned him and breathed into him of My [created] soul, then fall down to him in prostration."
The proportioning and the breathing of soul are not defined or known in detail: they can take billions of years, millions, nobody knows but God.
It's quite strange and also rash to immediately claim full knowledge of both of these processes. Eventually; one might be in serious trouble if Evolution was how God made man, generation after generation.
