Islamic views on evolution
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Islamic views on evolution are diverse, ranging from theistic evolution to Old Earth creationism.[1] Some Muslims around the world believe "humans and other living things have evolved over time",[2][3] yet some others believe they have "always existed in present form".[4] Some Muslims believe that the processes of life on Earth started from one single point of species[5] with a mixture of water and a viscous clay-like substance.[6][7] Muslim thinkers have proposed and accepted elements of the theory of evolution, some holding the belief of the supremacy of God in the process. Some scholars suggested that both narratives of creation and of evolution, as understood by modern science, may be believed by modern Muslims as addressing two different kinds of truth, the revealed and the empirical.[8] Others argue that faith and science can be integrated and complement each other.[9]
