Islam Under Scrutiny by Ex-Muslims

Darwin and Those Great Muslim Scientists

by Abul Kasem

23 Feb, 2009

On February 12, the world celebrated the 200th birth anniversary of Charles Darwin, the great scientist, philosopher, and naturalist. Darwin’s contribution to the understanding of the development of biological species is crucial to the evolvement of modern genetics, biology, and medicine. Darwin’s book, The Origin of Species, is perhaps the most influential book in human history to understand how the natural systems works, and demolishes the creationist worldview.

Darwin's theory is summarized in the Origin of Species as follows:

A struggle for existence inevitably follows from the high rate at which all organic beings tend to increase. Every being, which during its natural lifetime produces several eggs or seeds, must suffer destruction during some period of its life, and during some season or occasional year, otherwise on the principle of geometrical increase, its number would quickly become so inordinately great that no country could support the product. (The Origin of Species, pp.116–117)

… Can it, then, be thought improbable, seeing that variations useful to man have undoubtedly occurred, that other variations useful in some way to each being in the great and complex battle of life, should sometimes occur in the course of thousands of generations? If such do occur, can we doubt (remembering that many more individuals are born than can possibly survive) that individuals having any advantage, however slight, over others, would have the best chance of surviving and of procreating their kind? On the other hand, we may feel sure that any variation in the least degree injurious would be rigidly destroyed. This preservation of favourable variations and the rejection of injurious variations, I call Natural Selection. (ibid pp. 130–131)

Many Islamic scientists of today, unable to refute the forceful and convincing Darwin’s theory of natural selection and the evolution of species, bite the reality and propound that Darwin’s theory is, in fact, contained in the Qur’an. To support this preposterous claim, they might cite a few verses from the Qur’an, such as:

  • Allah made every living being from water… 21:30

  • Allah sends the fertile wind to cause the rain that makes the vegetation to grow... 15:22

  • Allah sends rain from the sky for drinking water and for vegetation to grow... 16:10

  • Allah created every living creature from water and some walk on four legs (like cattle); Allah creates what He wills… 24:45

  • Allah sends wind as glad tidings, and sends pure water from the sky… 25:48

  • Allah sends down rain from the sky, and causes the spring to flow which causes the vegetation to grow... 39:21

  • Allah sends down rain from the sky for plants to grow and gives life to the dead land... 50:8 11

  • When a stream dries up, only Allah can supply water… 67:30

  • Allah created us from despicable water… 77:20

  • The water causes vegetation to sprout… 78:15 16

  • Allah has sent water on earth… 80:26

  • Allah converted some Jews to monkeys and pigs… 2:65, 5:60, 7:166

In other words these Islamists contend that Darwin’s concept of ‘Natural Selection’ is actually Allah’s law. Thus, we may conclude that many Islamists consider that Darwin was actually following the Qur’an: he is a Muslim. To bolster their claim, they may even cite his portrait of later years (bearded in Islamic style) and his private life, such as: Darwin’s marriage to his cousin sister, Emma Wedgwood, and his ten children. All these acts of Darwin are acts of sunna, according to Islam.

The interesting point is, whenever any non Muslim personality discovers or theories anything which changes the course of human history, these Islamists will immediately brand that personality as a Muslim. In fact, they basically emulate the Qur’an in making such claims. For example, the Qur’an claims that the biblical prophets—namely, Abraham, Moses, Jonah, Elias, Zachariya, Solomon, David, Jesus—were all Muslims. Allah even claims that Alexander the Great (Zulkarnain, in the Qur’an) was a Muslim.

These Islamists will let us believe that, perhaps, we do not realise that many scientific theories and discoveries are rooted in various verses of the Qur’an. When scientists and inventors read such verses they are startled with awe and admiration that the very foundations of science and technology are embedded in Islamic Holy scriptures. They are compelled to bow down their heads in submission to Islam!

Here are a few scientists and inventors who converted to Islam after they found their inventions and discoveries mentioned in the Qur’an. This list of inventions is at random, and not in chronological order.

1.  John Dalton (1755–1844), English Chemist. He proposed the theory of Atoms (Dalton’s Law).

Verses 10:61, 34:3, 34:22 and 99:7–8 of the Qur’an talks about atom (an atom’s weight of good deed). Obviously, John Dalton read the Qur’an and became a Muslim.

2. James D. Watson (1928…) and Francis Crick (1916–2004), American scientists. They constructed the first accurate model of DNA structure.

Some Bangladeshi Muslim scientists discovered that the theory of DNA actually lies in the Qur’an: in verses 13:4 (Allah has created His signs in plants and vegetables), 16:66 (there are instructive signs in cattle), 16:67 (there are also instructive signs in the palm and vine); 20:54 (signs of Allah is in cattle pasture) and 23:21 (there are instructive examples in cattle).

3.  Gregor Johann Mendel (1822–1884), Austrian Biologist. He is the founder of genetics.

Muslims may claim that in verse 2:260, the Qur’an mentions the cloning of birds (Abraham killed four birds, but they became alive again); in verse 3:51 Allah talks about genetic fingerprint (Jesus made a clay-bird and breathed life into it). Allah also implies genetic theory in 4:1 (Allah created mankind from a single person).

4. Sir Isaac Newton (1642–1727), English physicist and mathematician, probably the greatest scientist ever.

He formulated the Universal Laws of Gravitation and discovered the light spectrum amongst many other discoveries.

The Qur’an talks of gravitation in 2:34, 7:11, 7:120–121 and 16:49 (when Muslims prostrate to Allah they obey Allah’s law on gravitation).

There is a complete sura about theory of light (sura 24: Light), while verse 4:174 and 5:15 talk about the light spectrum (Allah has sent a light manifest).

5.  Albert Einstein (1879–1955), Germany-born American physicist and philosopher. He is the inventor of Theory of Relativity and the Time Dilation Formula.

The Qur’an talks of theory of relativity and time dilation in verses 32:5 (one Allah year = 1,000 human year) and 70:4 (one Allah year = 50,000 human year). The Qur’an provides the principle of relativity in verse 17:1 (Allah takes Muhammad for the night journey from Kaba to Jerusalem (Isra), and then to the seven Heavens (Miraj) to show Allah’s signs).

6.  Max Planck (1858-1947), German physicist. He formulated the Quantum Theory.

Verse 3:191 talks indirectly about the quantum mechanics (Allah alternates night and day); verses 17:106 and 25:32 also imply quantum energy theory (Allah revealed the Qur’an in stages).

7.  Dimitri Mendeleyev (1834-1907), Russian chemist. He framed the periodic law in chemistry.

The Qur’an discusses period (women) in verses 2:222, 2:226, 2:231and 65:4-5. Verse 39:5 talks about periods of the moon.

8.  Alexander Graham Bell (1847–1922), American inventor of the telephone.

In verse 2:253, Allah says He had telephone conversations with some prophets (to some Allah spoke); in 3:55, Allah made a direct telephone call to Jesus.

9.  Charles Babbage (1792–1871), English mathematician and inventor of the first workable computer.

Some Bangladeshi Islamic scientists say verse 27:82 talks about computer (Allah sends a beast).

10.  Lazlo Biro (1900–1983), Hungarian inventor of the ballpoint pen.

Verses 18:109 and 31:27 say about Allah’s pens (trees) and ink (oceans).

11.  Rene’ Descartes (1596–1650), French philosopher and mathematician. He is the inventor of the Cartesian co ordinate system.

Allah talks of co ordinate system in verse 2:149-150 (Muslims must face qibla), 2:142 (every nation has a qibla; to Allah belongs the East and the West) and 2:144 (Allah changes the co ordinate system from Jerusalem to Mecca). The Qur’an mentions the Cartesian axis system in verses 2:213, 4:68, 4:175, 6:153, and 6:161 (Islam is a straight path).

12.  Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686–1736), German inventor of the first Fahrenheit thermometer.

In many verses, the Qur’an talks about heat in Islamic Hell and coolness in Islamic Paradise. Allah measures heat using Islamic thermometers. Example of a few such verses are: 16:81 (Allah made garments for protection from heat), 35:21 (shade and sun’s heat are not the same), 52:16 (Allah will force the unbelievers to taste the heat of hell fire) and 76:13 (in Islamic Paradise there will be no excessive heat of the sun; no excessive cold of the moon).

13.  Michael Faraday (1791–1867), English chemist and physicist. He invented the process of electrolysis.

Allah talks of Islamic electrolysis in verses 18:29, 22:20, 41:22, and 70:11–16 (changing skin, melting skin).

14.  Sigmund Freud (1856–1939), Austrian physician. He invented the method of Psychoanalysis.

The Qur’an talks of psychoanalysis (Islamic mind analysis) in verse 6:135 (Muhammad is to let the unbelievers mind their own businesses; Allah will take care of them). In verse 4:81, Allah mentions psychoanalysis (Allah records the innermost feelings of the hypocrites).

15.  Robert Goddard (1882–1945), US rocket scientist. He invented the liquid fuelled rocket.

The Qur’an mentions rocket fuel in verse 72:15 (non Muslim men and jinns are fuels for hellfire).

16. Guglielmo Marconi (1874–1937), Italian electrical engineer. He invented the radio.

There are many verses in the Qur’an which solidly prove that Allah communicates with His messengers with radio. Examples of a few verses expounding the theory of radio are: 2:35 (Allah never speaks directly), 6:121 (Muhammad receives Allah’s revelations) and 20:114 (Gabriel brings revelation, Gabriel is invisible).

17. James Clerk Maxwell (1831–1879), Scottish physicist. He developed the electro magnetic theory.

Allah mentions electromagnetic waves in 4:126 (Allah is everywhere).

18.  James Watt (1734–1819), Scottish engineer and inventor of steam engine.

Allah considers steam as smoke. He mentions the theory of steam engine in verse 41:11 (the sky was a smoke or steam, Allah joined the steam and the earth).

19.  Orville (1871–1948) and Wilbur Right (1867–1912), US inventors of aeroplane.

The Qur’an provides the theory of flying (angels with wings) in verse 35:1. In verse 16:79, Allah provides the theory of aircraft design (Allah holds the birds in air), jet-engine in verses 22:31 (birds snatch up) and 24:41 (flying birds glorify Allah) and about jet-fuel in 67:19 (birds get their sustenance from Allah).

20.  Henry Bessemer, English engineer. He developed the method to convert iron into steel.

The entire sura 57 (Hadid: Iron) deals with conversion of iron. Besides, verses 17:51, 18:96, 18:98 and 22:21 also mention using Islamic iron for various purposes, including punishing the infidels.

21.  Edwin Hubble, American scientist. He developed the theory of expanding universe.

In verse 21:30, the Qur’an unerringly presents the theory of expanding universe (separation of the heavens and the earth).

22.  Thomas Alva Edison (1847–1931), American inventor of incandescent lamp, gramophone, and motion picture.

The Qur’an mentions incandescent lamp in verses 24:35 (light from olive tree) and 25:61 (Allah put a lamp). The Qur’an talks of gramophone in verse 4:164 (Allah played a recorded message to Moses) and in verse 21:79, Allah mentions about the gramophone record played by prophet Dawud (recitation of Zabur).

23.  Johannes Gutenberg (1398–1468), German inventor of movable type printing press.

In verses 11:11, 12:2 and 16:103, Allah talks about printing the Qur’an in clear Arabic. The Qur’an mentions about movable blocks in 7:145 (Allah wrote His Laws in a tablet and gave that to Moses); Allah talks about the printed Qur’an in verse 6:7 (even when Allah sends His message written in paper, the unbelievers will consider that as sorcery).

24.  Vladimir K. Zworykin (1889–1982), US inventor. He demonstrated the first modern television.

The Qur’an narrates the television of Allah in verse in 11:37 (Noah constructed the ark right in front of Allah’s vision and instruction); verse 12:5 mentions television (prophet Yusuf had a vision of Allah); and verse 17:60 says Allah broadcast a television program to Muhammad (Allah showed Muhammad a vision of ordeal of mankind).

25.  An unknown Chinese inventor (AD 900) invented the gun-powder.

The Qur’an provides the theory of gun-powder in verse 54:23 (mighty blast).

26.  Samuel F. B. Morse (1791–1872), US scientist and inventor of telegraph. He developed the Morse code.

In verse 4:16, Allah talks about codified law (sharia code). Verse 2:38 says that Allah sent telegraphic messages to Adam when Adam landed on the earth.

27. Lewis Waterman (1837–1901), US inventor of the capillary fed fountain pen.

The Qur’an has an exclusive sura on pen (sura 68: al Qalam).

28.  Enrico Fermi (1901–1954), US physicist and developer of the first fission atomic reactor.

The Quran’s similitude of an atomic reactor is the sura exclusively written for the sun (sura 91: the Sun, ash Shams), because scientists agree that the sun is nothing but a huge atomic reactor. The Qur’an also mentions the principle of modern atomic reactor in verses 99:7–8 (atom) and 54:23 (mighty blast).

29.  William C. Roentgen (1845–1923), German scientist, who discovered the X ray.

The Qur’an mentions X-ray in verse 66:8 (invisible light of Allah).

30.  Godfrey Hounsfield (1919–2004), English engineer and inventor of CT Scan.

The Qur’an provides evidence of CT scan in verse 35:22 (Allah can see and hear what is inside a grave).

31.  Raymond Damadiam (1936-), Larry Minkoff, and Michael Goldsmith, US scientists and physicians. They invented the practical MRI.

The Qur’an mentions MRI in verses 38:71 (Allah breathed His image into Adam) and 95:5 (Allah created man in the best image).

32.  Arthur L. Schawlow (1921–1999) and Charles H. Towns (1915…), American physicists and inventors of the LASER.

The Qur’an talks of LASER (deafening lightening) in 2:20, 2:55 56 and 4:154; Allah sent a manifest light (4:174, 5:15) and light amplification in verse 24:35 (light upon light).

Many muslim retards believe neil armstrong converted to islam after his trip to moon. Where he heard azan muslim prayer. Some mullah says armstrong saw earth was round as mentioned in koran.so he converted to islam. Later this wap denied by armstrong himself. Look out for you tube video titled "mecca center of the earth-school of lies". Where egyptian mulla scientist kids about armstrong.

Whole world oppressing islam. They have not awarded muhammed (peace be upon him) a noble price. He as a doctor who first discovered camel urine and indian incense sticks as medicine.he as evolutionist discovered that jews had been turned into monkeys.he as a enterpreneur introduced modern butt wiping techniques like wiping butt with odd number of stones.this is the first step in mankind that eventually leads to tissue paper invention. He as a teacher taught mankind how to fart, shave genitals, how adult can breast feed or suckling with other adult.he as a magician who split moon into half.his achievements are many more and countless, too explicit to report here. This world is so bad towards muhammed the king of all retards. OOPS! SORRY I FORGET TO MENTION PEACE BE UPON HIM.

Thank you Abul Kasem. I recognized many of the names above. Many of them were Christian and they remained Christian. They did not convert to Islam. Notice that despite the fact that The Islamic War Manual, sometimes called the Qur'an, is so "informative," to Muslims, I see no Muslim name that invented or discovered anything of value. Most of the greatest inventors were Christian who remained as Christian. Since I am Catholic and proud to be one, I noticed that many of the inventors were Catholic. Gregor Johann Mendel, the biologist was a Catholic priest. I cannot imagine that Mendel became a backward Muslim. I cannot imagine anyone being enlightened by The Islamic War Manual. The only invention by the Muslims is the suicide bomber of recent time. And I have also noticed that no one else is using that invention, only the "enlightened" Muslims. May God bless the poor idiots.

Can you post me the video link of armstrong's interview.i know there is no such thing .if there is one video it must have been posted in youtube by muslim retards .hinduism, sikhism,jainism are not about conversion. perhaps hinduism is most successful religion of all, surviving for long time with 900million people.

Abul Kasem and his gangs you can write all what you want but nothing is going to happen. Even a kid will understand what you have written is utter foolishness. You think by quoting Quran everybody will belive what you have written .I wonder what academic qualification you have.God talking on the phone !!!!!! Try to write atleast with some sense.

you proud Catholic , you fix your problem first and correct Islam. You forgot Sex abuse by priests ,molestation of boys, abusing children in five US states in the 1960s and 1970s. 1999: Former Massachusetts priest John Geoghan indicted on child rape charges. 4 April: Two US men, in Florida and Oregon, begin legal action which symbolically names the Vatican for its alleged role in covering up sex abuse cases. it goes on ..... a long list.You forgot about IRA fighting biggest terror group. You dont talk much my friend

I have always believed in evolution and I'm Catholic. Although the Holy Catholic Church isn't into anything except faith and morals, many Catholics do delve into many other subjects. Because some Catholics make mistakes, detractors attribute that mistake to the Catholic Church. It isn't fair, but what can a person do? As I have said, I have believed in evolution because animals and humans evolve. It's obvious. Does that mean that we evolved from monkeys? Of course not. Why? Answer: Monkeys also evolve. In other words, monkeys are also modern. Does all this mean that a Supreme Being is non-existant? Of course not. I cannot believe that matter is eternal. Have you ever thought of eternity? Can you believe that eternity is forever? Here is a teaser: Let us suppose that all atoms in the universe are shaped in a tiny nine. Now, let us suppose that each "nine" represents nine quintilleion years. You must admit that onle one "nine" is a lot of years. However, there are innummerable "nines" out there throughout the universe. Let's add all these "nines," Wow! The sum total would be stupendous, don't you think? Now, let's multiply that stupendous sum total by nine quintillion. Double wow! The sum total would now be super duper stupendous, don't you think? But did you know that not even that stupendous super duper grand total would be the beginning of eternity. Imagine! NOT EVEN THE BEGINNING! Now, you tell me that matter is eternal, and I'll tell you that you are a super duper wacko nut. However, I also know that God exists because of the order of things. For example, why is it that birds of the air mate only with their own kind? For example, mocking birds with mocking birds, blue jays with blue jays, et cetera. Why is it that thousands of different species of butterflies mate with their own kind? Is it because that matter is so smart that it controls all of this order? I don't think so. Of course I could go on and on, but I won't. Now get this. Am I nuts? I know that God exists because of the many supernatural experiences that I have had. What I have seen would blow your mind. Probably some day I'll tell you some of these things. NO, ANGELS DO NOT HAVE WINGS. May God bless you. Yes, God is eternal. Guess what? I know how God created matter, but I'm not telling you. Maybe later.

Islam had foreknowledge of all inventions, is it? Then why are muslims and islamic republics so backward , intolerant and wicked? Why is your 'prophet' , the only arab , among all other s who are jews, so stupid to recommend camel urine as an elixir of health and life? You muslims are so backward and mentally retarded that you shamelessly grab credit for others' hardwork - after all your socalled 'prophet' was a robber, thief, bandit, rapist, slavetrader, murderer all rolled in one!

The Theory of Evolution is not a scientific law or a law of biology. A scientific law must be 100% correct. Failure to meet only one challenge proves the law is wrong. This web page will prove that the Theory of Evolution fails many challenges, not simply one. The Theory of Evolution will never become a law of science because it is wrought with errors. This is why it is called a theory, instead of a law. The process of natural selection is not an evolutionary process. The DNA in plants and animals allows selective breeding to achieve desired results. Dogs are a good example of selective breeding. The DNA in all dogs has many regressive traits. A desired trait can be produced in dogs by selecting dogs with a particular trait to produce offspring with that trait. This specialized selective breeding can continue for generation after generation until a breed of dog is developed. This is the same as the "survival of the fittest" theory of the evolutionists. Many different types of dogs can be developed this way, but they can never develop a cat by selectively breeding dogs. Natural selection can never extend outside of the DNA limit. DNA cannot be changed into a new species by natural selection. Evolution not a scientific law and no species has ever been proven to have evolved in any way. The same process of selective breeding is done with flowers, fruits and vegetables. New variations of the species are possible, but a new species has never been developed by science. In fact, the most modern laboratories are unable to produce a left-hand protein as found in humans and animals. If natural selection were true, Eskimos would have fur to keep warm, but they don't. They are just as hairless and everyone else. If natural selection were true, humans in the tropics would have silver, reflective skin to help them keep cool, but they don't. They have black skin, just the opposite of what the theory of natural selection would predict. If natural selection were true, humans at northern latitudes would have black skin, but they have white skin instead, except for the Eskimos with skin that is half way between white and black. Many evolutionist argue that melanin is a natural sunscreen that evolved in a greater amount to protect dark skinned people who live near the Equator. They simply ignore the fact that dark skinned Eskimos live north of the Arctic Circle. Melanin in the skin is not a sound argument in favor of evolution. The theory of natural selection is wrong because it cannot create something in the DNA that wasn't there in the beginning. The cheetah in Africa is an example of an animal in the cat family with very limited variety in the DNA. Each cheetah looks like Human Egg and Sperm Proves Evolution is Wrong. The evolutionist ignores the problem surrounding the human female egg and the male sperm in the evolutionary theory. The human female like other mammals has XX sex chromosomes, and the male has XY sex chromosomes. The female egg contains the X-chromosome and the male sperm contains either an X-chromosome for the reproduction of a female or a Y-chromosome for the reproduction of a male. The female eggs all develop within the ovaries while she is a baby (fetus) within her mother's womb. Evolutionists claim environmental factors cause small changes in the offspring in the evolutionary chain. However, the environmental experience of the female cannot change the chromosomes within her eggs and cannot have any effect upon her offspring. Her body cannot go into the eggs, contained within her ovaries at her birth, to make an intelligent genetic change. Females cannot be a part of the evolutionary theory for these reasons. Human pride prevents people from admitting they were wrong for their belief in Charles Darwin's evolutionary myth. The male sperm are created very differently from the female egg. The sperm are created in the testes of a male on a daily basis. This short time period between the creation of the sperm and conception within the female precludes any possibility that the male can be a part of the evolutionary theory. A harsh winter, or some other environmental condition, experienced by the male is quickly lost and cannot affect conception that may occur months later. Neither is there any scientific evidence that environmental experiences change the genetic code within the sperm. Males cannot be a part of the evolutionary theory for these reasons. These scientific facts prove evolution of the human species caused by environmental adaptation or any other reason is impossible.

Adnan Oktar is that you or one of your clones? How many times does this need to be said? Theories are used to explain facts, like the theory of gravity to explain gravity. Similarly theory of evolution explains evolution. Don't be a fool. Theory of evolution never claims a dog can magically reproduce a cat. In fact such idea is stupid. Dogs and cats are efficient at ensuring their own species survival. What traits would a dog need from a cat? Eskimo aren't hairy because they origin from Asia, who are not very hairy either. The fact that they wear hide which keeps them warm probably prevented the 'hairy genes' from activated. The environmental pressure is no longer there. Silver? Hahaha! Skin colour is controlled by the pigment melanin. The melanin concentration affects the darkness of the skin. By having darker skin colour, UV light absorption is reduced and the opposite is true. Skin colour is not affected by intensity of visible sunlight but rather UV. Please note the UV intensity is different across the globe. Tropical or not has little to do with it. I suggest a good read at the natural selection article at wikipedia before saying it is wrong. Natural selection works on a population that has enough genetic diversity. To cut it short, it let DNA within the population that is fit, to survive. When DNA self replicate, such as when a cell divides, mistake can happen and the resultant DNA is different the original DNA. Additionally, search ERVs for what it can do. About cheetah: "They descend from survivors of a near-extinction catastrophe that resulted in generations of close inbreeding 10,000 years ago." What is the problem? About chromosomes: read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y_chromosome#Origins_and_evolution Thanks for showing me what an iliterate Muslim you are following Muhammad's footstep!

--"When DNA self replicate, such as when a cell divides, mistake can happen and the resultant DNA is different the original DNA."--Mutation of a DNA is regression and not progression or an anomaly in the DNA process of reproducing EXACT copies of itself. An anomaly cannot produce a superior species.

To the person who answered Abul Kasem, I believe you are a bit confused. Evolution can mean changes so that animals can adapt to their environment, and necessarily that humans and monkeys came from a common ancestor. Whether humans and monkeys at one time had a common ancestor, I don't know. That part is theory. However, it's a scientific fact that mammals do evolve. You are mistaken about the eskimos. The eskimos are very white except for their faces and hands. Why don't you ask yourself the reason for this? I've traveled the world, and I have noticed that at the equator, people are very black, and as you travel north, the people become lighter and lighter. Why? I know why. People adapt according to their environment. Does all this mean that a Cause of all causes is nonexistant? Of course not. Thank you.

"--Mutation of a DNA is regression and not progression or an anomaly in the DNA process of reproducing EXACT copies of itself. An anomaly cannot produce a superior species." Mutation can be both. Even those with 'regression' mutation such as sickle cell anemia can be beneficial to if they live where malaria is common.

--"Theories are used to explain facts, like the theory of gravity to explain gravity."--There is no such thing as Theory of Gravity nowadays but instead it is the Law of Gravity since it is already a proven fact. A theory is an EDUCATED GUESS or an explanation based on available evidence like Theory of Evolution, Theory of Relativity, Quantum Theory, Cosmological Theory, etc. A theory once confirmed as true will become a SCIENTIFIC LAW like Law of Gravity, Laws of Thermodynamics, Law of Planetary Motion, Law of Heat Exchange, Newton's Law of Motion, etc.

dont call charles darwin a prophet. prophets of christian and islam are losers, who have shown mankind way to hell. charles have shown us the true nature of universe. what a man. many dogmatic christians those days challenged him. if he was from some islamic country he would have been killed by muslim nuts.

Islam Is The Truth. It’s The Only God’s Revealed Way of Life in the World. Muslims believe in all the Prophets of God including Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. You CANNOT defeat a religion that was revealed from God and also preached by Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad. You can try for your whole life but you will eventually end up into mere cow dung! On the other hand, Islam will be flourishing from America to Japan, from Norway to Australia, and from China to South Africa!

Islam was not revealed by god nor by any true prophet. The whole quran is fake from the beginning. We are not made from clot, because it is impossible and nonsense to create humans from congealed blood. It is shameless how Islam hijacked prophets of other religions as it is still trying to kidnap western scientists. Islam is nothing more than the crazed imagination of uneducated arabs. Beore the arrival of islam, the mediterannean sea was one world, with one culture and one way of life and one living standard. But with Islam, North Africa is so much behind that it cannot survive without the help of the more civilised world.

Islam the "true religion" has shut the mind of billions. On Peace TV i watch seemingly educated people asking questions like "is wearing tie unislamic bcoz it resembles a holy cross?" or "is Homoeopathic medicines haraam 4 muslims bcoz they contain alcohol?" or even " can I pray for my parents who are non muslims?". The problem is Islam has tried to be exhaustive and absolute as far as human actions are concerned and without an iota of doubt far from being even somewhere near to exhaustiveness it has failed miserably. i guess ppl of no other religion would boggle with such "religious questions" which can undermine their faith.

“For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.” - C. Sagan Evolutionary theory is always a dangerous idea to many religions, precisely because it takes away the invisible, magic skycrane argument of the creationist.

Usually scientific laws refer to rules for how nature will behave under certain conditions. Scientific theories are more overarching explanations of how nature works and why it exhibits certain characteristics. A common misconception is that scientific theories are rudimentary ideas that will eventually graduate into scientific laws when enough data and evidence has been accumulated. A theory does not change into a scientific law with the accumulation of new or better evidence. A theory will always remain a theory, a law will always remain a law. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory#Scientific_laws When a scientist wishes to explain the cause of some object or event, they make an educated guess, usually called a hypothesis. This hypothesis is then tested by experiment and observation, and graduates to the status of theory if and only if enough evidence is found to support it and it repeatedly passes the tests it is subjected to. This is a standard the theory of evolution passes with flying colors: in a hundred and fifty years of scientific study of the natural world, evolution has never failed any crucial test, and an overwhelming amount of evidence has been found which supports it. http://www.ebonmusings.org/evolution/evotheory.html

Well done Kasem. You are a champion in Arab culture, Arab fairytales, and Arab religion-- I read something like this recently in one related article. You have exposed Quran. Please stick to Quran and hadiths only and help liberate Muslims from Islam. I hope your stories will inspire them to quit Islam.

Who told you that monkeys are direct ancestors of humans? The theory of evolution tells us that monnkeys and apes are most closely related to the human ancestor. Why don't you pay homage to your fake deity allah and his pimp rasool muhammad for a change...

To all those who try to tear asunder the ,, Emerging science of evoloution,, as i put it because it deal with life , organisam as well as physical world which even after having been analysed and proved, can,t fit into any empirical explanation viza viz life, death and existance of god but it surely give us unmistakable feelers that judeo-christanity is false and is a hox played upon humanity but did roaring spiritual-cum-temporal business on billions of humanity due to its populist appeal and overwhelming majority of humanity is just a ,, salvation seeker at the alter of islam in more dreaded stratification and brain disabling and in contemporary christanity comparitively far more soft stratification and innocious braindisabling. To beleive in god throughy the apreciation of evoloution is million time better than beleive in god through the agency of islam and christianity which is the root cause of all problems and pitfalls in contemporary world, many christian and islamic faith proselytiser have also started to make amenable evoloution to their faith systems and scriptures which is just a hogwash to paper over gaps the size of mars in their satanic cults. To my cumilative understandings of all alpha and omega of what i have gone through so far , evoloution is but just another synonym of the visible part of doctrine of Karma and karma bbeyond visible life is the transcendant metaphysical reality of evoloution which scientist cant understandl and a typical muslim and christian mind deride and scoff no end due to thier inner blindness and barrenness. but the fact is unconditional suffering and reward is the eternel law of mother nature and all this immeasurable universe which we human are bound to replicate.i am not adovcating hinduisam at all, thier own scripture could be as much full of absurdeties and anomilies but i am equaly convinced that supernatural thought of hindu scriptures is simply beyond compare and it is what the ultimate reality have to be in most natural conceivable scheem of things of this breth-taking transcendant universe. To be true vicegerent of god takes a just and self-actualising apraisal betwen these two extremes and in this way we can make this planet earth a real heaven and to great extent free from many of extant sufferings and scourges. christanity and islam make a huge spectacle of the ,,vicegerency of god,, but they never understand the half of it, only foolish juxtapositions of which billions are firstrate victums themselve. i request all to watch following videos in a sequance one after one, particularly those independant inquisitor of truth . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrvErbuFais http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1fGkFuHIu0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnJX68ELbAY As a complementry issue and a competitive view-point these two video of richird dawkins are also worth-watching. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tRpbkpNpgw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1APOxsp1VFw
