Evolution Decite



Muslims believe that the universe and all living organisms originate from the specific act of Divine Creation by Allah. We may not be able to see Allah but He exists. All sciences and signs point inevitably toward His direction. When we reflect upon our own existence we will come to realize, that at some point in time, we began to exist. We had a "birth" day. Since we were once non-existent and are now in existence, it follows that we must have had a beginning. In light of this, we can make some interesting points: we did not come out of nothing because from nothing, nothing comes; we obviously did not create ourselves so there must be a cause or Creator of our existence. In the same way, the universe had a beginning, it did not create itself and it did not come out of nothing. The best explanation is that the universe must have been created or brought into existence by something. 

The Qur'an encourages us to speculate: "Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and earth, and the alternation of the night and the day, and the [great] ships which sail through the sea with that which benefits people, and what Allāh has sent down from the heavens of rain, giving life thereby to the earth after its lifelessness and dispersing therein every [kind of] moving creature, and [His] directing of the winds and the clouds controlled between the heaven and the earth are signs for a people who use reason." (2:164) What causes the alternation of night and day? Who made the sun and the moon? Why does the wind blow? How does it rain? Where does life come from? What is the origin and source of this phenomena? Lets reflect upon our own being. Descartes said, ‘I think, therefore I am…’ But who is this ‘I’? Where did 'I' come from? Who 'caused' me?

The. Qur’an answers, "Indeed, your Lord is Allāh, who created the heavens and earth in six days and then established Himself above the Throne. He covers the night with the day, [another night] chasing it rapidly; and [He created] the sun, the moon, and the stars, subjected by His command. Unquestionably, His is the creation and the command; blessed is Allāh, Lord of the worlds.(7:54)

Evolution is belief in a theory that there is no God, the universe and all living organism came into existence by itself. Scientific research in the following video produces empirical evidence and which contradict evolutionist interpretations





Fossil records of evolution of living organism lacks transititional forms - there is no evidence, just hypothesis that one species of aniamls transformed into another species.  For example, small scale changes such as size of finch beaks or slight changes in colours within the same species of birds does not mean evolution. In fact, scientists have challenged the ability of animals randomlly mutating into different creatures. Scientists believe that all living creatures have a complex DNA which contains biological feautures of its own species. For example, a cat can never give birth to a goat or randomly develop the characteristics of a koala bear. Please see the video for more discussion on the topic.
