My apology

Delshad:There is, of course, no reason to leave the forum. A lack of scientific knowledge and background doesn't by any stretch of the imagination disqualify you from participating here. And fear not, you have not presented a "negative image of Islam". Your initial approach left something to be desired, but it is a common one that isn't unique to Islam.In fact, your post here in this thread speaks very highly of your personal integrity - it is a rare person who is willing to admit they might have been mistaken. It's an admirable trait.A suggestion: if you are truly interested in the evidence for evolution (whether you believe it was the tool Allah used to create the amazing diversity of life on the planet or not), then all you need do is ask. Simply ask, and there are many people here who are willing to either answer or point you in the direction of an answer. Try it this way: "I've read (or heard) that there is no natural explanation for X. Is it true? If not, what is the evidence that leads to the idea that X DOES have a natural explanation?" Note the difference between this and "Hah, hah. Evolutionists can't answer X." which was your initial approach. I think you might find the difference in response enlightening. After all, doesn't the Qu'ran advocate seeking wisdom?

Delshad: Welcome back! I'm glad you decided to stick around.I know it is often difficult to get access to actual books, so I'll devote this post to free, on-line resources I consider to be very good general references: actionbioscience.org website contains a collection of "popular science" articles on evolution written by some of the top scientists in the field. Evolution and the Fossil Record, the American Geological Institute's excellent "evolution primer". Origin of Species on-line. To be honest, I found Darwin's book very hard going. This on-line version can help if you want to see what the old man actually wrote. As Mammuthus noted, it is extremely detailed, and can be heavy reading. However, if you're looking for a description of every observation Darwin made in coming up with his theory, this is the place.Anyway, if you have any questions on any of these articles, please don't hesitate to post them.
