Description
The theory of evolution has historically been used as a critique against religion. Scripture claims God had created Adam (AS) but science states Adam was created through a series of random mutations. Who is correct: scripture or science? Or is there a middle-ground where both religion and science can be compatible?  During this podcast, we are joined by Dr. Shoaib Ahmed Malik, author of "Islam and Evolution", to discuss this pertinent topic and try to understand the Islamic perspective on human evolution.  #evolution #science #islam   Intro song:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e26WE... 0:00 Intro 1:00 The Importance of the Topic 5:17 What is Evolution?  18:45 Creationism 22:00 Human Exceptionalism 35:58 Adamic Exceptionalism 59:35 No Exceptions + recap 1:02:05 Which Positions Can We Accept 1:20:56 The Future of Evolution and Islam 1:27:41 Are you Re-interpreting the Quran? 1:32:36 Vice's Article about Evolution & Muslim Scholars 1:37:33 Conclusion
