“The Problem of Evil” in atheism and in Islam

No, it's not. The main idea is that imperfect replication and differential reproductive success result in changes in the gene pool.

New information is generated spontaneously by mutation and recombination. The new combinations that are successful survive and contribute in subsequent generations.

There is so much evidence that you could spend a lifetime going through it, you just refuse to look at it. And that's not our fault.

Have you tried going to a science forum? I'm sure they can provide you links to all the evidence you could ever dream of.

I do not think anyone in these forums is better than Dawkins and there is no better defender of this theory than Dawkins. Unfortunately, Dawkins has no evidence to show Evolution is true.

That statement clearly shows you have not actually read any of Dawkins's books on evolution. You probably have not read any books on evolution written by any qualified biologist.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
