Is Evolution Intellectually Viable?

Argumentum ad Harun Yahya

Brother Ahmad,As a theistic evolutionist I do not rely too much on abiogenesis speculations... Today I still think of the scientific theories for abiogenesis as highly speculative, however I am trying to be careful not to jump to theological conclusions. If someday they got it right on abiogenesis then my theology will need to be re-examined.Also, even if the first living molecule (the replicator as I assume) is created miraculously by Allah, that will not be a problem for my view of evolution. Even Dawkins himself dare not speculate on the origin of replication.

Thanks for the suggestion TB. Am I standing on a landmine now?

Qur'an and Human Evolution

No webpage found at provided URL: www.fortunecity.com/boozers/cheshire/170/SURVIVAL%20(1).htmlAs for no direct mention of humans being descendants of hominids (sorry, I had to correct you, the term 'hominid' is a vernacular for the members of family Hominidae. The hominids which is alive today include humans, chimps, and gorillas), I could have stated that the Qur'an also does not mention some other scientific facts. My main argument is that the Qur'an is not intended to be a scientific/technical textbook.{Fixed URL - Adminnemooseus}[This message has been edited by Adminnemooseus, 11-08-2002]
