Islam and Creation?

Hey all, I've been lurking this forum for awhile now, but just recently made an account and this is my first post.Anyway, I've been wondering on how other Islam sees the claim of creationism. 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.If followers of Islam don't follow creationism, should they? I've always thought that they should still believe in genesis since the Koran is based off of the Torah.

Hello Epee--welcome. Its always good when we can "out" a lurker...our family then becomes bigger> Now...about this topic.... 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. 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.

Thanks for the welcome!If we have any Islamic participants I'd love to know there opinions, but I'm curious to how everyone feels on this topic.Sorry about that. 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.
