To all evolutionists:
I have been a fool, and I apologize.
Convinced in my arrogance that no one would have the answers to my questions, i have taking water above my head.
I`m a muslim, and by opposing evolution ive done nothing but created a negative image of Islam.
Ive come to realise that this forum isnt a place for me(my limited knowledge in science isnt gonna contribute to anything), because as Ive stated earlier, religion cannot be proven by science and science cannot be disproven by religion, they co-exist,(If you are religious that is
And to all creationists: If you have been as arrogant as I have been, then think twice.
The best thing that you could do for your religion is by your actions, taking care of your family, pray and and be open-minded.
Indeed, If Allah would have wanted us to reject evolution he wouldnt have made the signs of it so clear that the scientists believe in them with all there heart.

Hi Delshad,
That was a very nice post. But I would encourage you to NOT withdraw from the debate. Rather, if you feel your knowledge of the subject matter is not deep enough ask questions or do some reading. I and many others can recommend books that would give you a grasp of some of the major concepts and arguments involved that would not be so technical as to leave you frustrated. To balance things out, I am sure Tranquility Base could provide you with books or media discussing intelligent design or creationism. And all of us here will make every attempt to answer questions you have. Again I encourage you to stay on.
Sincerely
Mammuthus

Were could I find books or articles in the web giving me a scientifical ground in evolution to build upon , and maybe Tranquility base or someone could show me books or articles arguing for intelligent design or creationism, ill read them with all my heart and perhaps you would answer my questions as time passes.

Hi Delshad,
Glad you decided to stay with us here. I would actually suggest reading Darwin's Origin of Species. I prefer the first edition but most book stores carry only the 6th I believe. In any case, the book is readable without an extensive scientific background. Things have changed a lot since Darwin's time but it is not a bad place to start.
Anyone else out there know of a good general book on molecular evolution that is not too technical? I only have primary literature or technical manuals which would not be appropriate.
Hopefully TB and others will make suggestions as well for accessible literature.
Best wishes,
Mammuthus
