Hello Epee--welcome. Its always good when we can "out" a lurker...our family then becomes bigger> Now...about this topic....
I've been wondering on how other Islam sees the claim of creationism.
Are you asking other Islamic participants to comment, and/or are you asking all of us in general? Personally, I would imagine that everyone sees the idea of creationism a bit differently, on an individual basis.
It's also based off of the Torah, so I could see if they were able to justify YEC or OEC, but I've been unable to find anything on the topic.
Are you saying that the idea of Biblical Creationism--seven days, arks, and fig leaf clothing were ideas shared by Judaism, Christianity and Islam?
What is your personal belief? It is usually wise to start a topic by explaining your position first.

Thread copied here from the Islam and Creation? thread in the Proposed New Topics forum.
I don't know much about Islam, but it is my understanding that they follow the old testament. This makes it seem to me like they should be following the entire creation story as well, including the 7 days of creation, Noah's Ark, etc in the same way Christians should. Otherwise it just seems like nitpicking which parts you want to follow.
So you are suggesting that people who are believers--in whatever religion they believe in---should follow most or all of its tenets,right? Perhaps you could tell us why you think this way. Why does anyone have to do certain things. I will promote you, but expect some challenges from others on this.
