Assalamualium wa rahamatullahi wa barakatahu
Brothers and sisters, i have this one question that has been plaguing me for a while.
I would be very thankful to whomever answers it
Q:Did Allah (SWT) create us through evolution?
i read a ayat somewhere in the Quran that says that Allah (SWT) created all life from water. Allah (SWT) said that he created Adam from "dust" or "clay" maybe Allah (SWT) was talking about the formation of the early solar system (the early solar system had a ton of dust accumulation). HE maybe have ment to say from scratch. Or maybe, the word "dust" or "clay" are distant terms meaning carbon (which all life has).
Q:Or did Allah (SWT) create man some where far away and then placed him in Heaven?
Then did the story of Adam and Hawa (1st man and women) place and mankind was placed on earth?
By the way, i do belive in the Big Bang Theory, because there are many scientific explanations for this arcanic phenominon. Cosmic Background Radiation, redshift galaxies are proportional to their distance from us, the expansion of the universe, etc. I also belive in it because it states so in the Quran.
[b:d8efc72e43]Do not the Unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined together (as one unit of creation), before we clove them asunder? We made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe? (Quran 21:30)[/b:d8efc72e43]
Like i said, this question has been on my mind for a while (since the beginning of my summer break) and i hope to get it answered. Ayats from the Quran and some hadith would be appreciated.
