Monk-


There is no mention of other materials such as bacteria involved in the creation of Adam according to the Quran. The off-springs of Adam go through stages of development in the womb, from zygote to embryo to a fully developed baby, it is a process of development, no bacteria involved. I don't understand the bacteria connection but you can elaborate on that.

There is bacteria in water. That is what my answer pertains to. Its like an answer within an answer. Water is not empty, its full of life/bacteria -- which itself IS a life giver! Take it how you will but humans, plants, and all animals came from the same substance according the Quran -- WATER. And there is bacteria in it -- correct, that alone explains itself, but you can ignore the bacteria in water, so long as we conclude that all life came from being just ONE.

Another question for you brotherman(Monk), where have you read a bacteria evolving into a higher creature? If you can provide a link or a source showing such occurence.

Have you forgotten what FUNGI is? Fungi is a random self-spawning bacteria and it starts out at a molecular level. A true form of evolution within itself. From its early stage, it can become any of the hundreds of different types of fungus' known to man.

Monk, Fungi is classified as a plant and ranges in form from a single cell to a body mass. It has no evolutionary significance saxib. It produces yeast, mushrooms, and molds among other plants. Also, humanbeings themselves start as two cells which combine then grow on from there to a full baby in nine months. It is a development process. Non of these facts make darwinian evolution anywhere near the truth. Review your studies again. Define Evolution for us so we are clear on the semantics.

Evolution and islam don't go together, you cannot reconcile the two sxb. Allah(swt) created human beings, and the details of how it happened are beyond our grasp.

Today evolutionist attribute random mutations as the main reason for evolution, but that's just absurd and impossible, positive mutations are not only rare but are usually not passed on. The offspring of even two close related animals are usually sterile assuming their is even an offspring, yet somehow we as humans evolved from apes and life on earth started from a single bacteria.

We are too complex to evolve from bacteria, Darwin, himself on the eye said ''To suppose that the eye with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree.'

Evolution theory is flawed and there are no observable facts to support it.

That being said, teaching all theories and perspectives is something somali's and all muslims should strive to learn, it's the hallmark of progressiveness and civilization. Islam was at it's peak when muslims were learning everything and seeking knowledge was a priority. When the Christians were in their dark ages, muslims were gathering historical books written by all from greeks, to romans, and muslim cities like Cordoba, Baghdad, Damascus were the centers of civilization . We should not be fearful of knowledge.
