I dream about evolution being true after getting some "signs" in real life
-
Peace people,
Just my view, No offence.
Since the time I was studying biology in highschool and then some more in university (although my major wasn't biology) - I was very much aware of the complexity of the genome code set - it was a very complex set of ATCG codes.
I'm sure many people here including myself don't know how to put more ATCG code in our own genome to make us better - even how highly people say we humans "evolved" - but the single-cell lifes, the fish, dog, etc. knew and did it? I mean the fish knew how to put AAAAT....................... etc. to add this and that to its genome little by little and became reptiles?
I always, until now, wonder how a sigle cell life form (which probably came into life out of lightning into some special mud) knew how to encode ATCG into its own genome to make it better and then became this and that.
Even the GMOs which are done by specialists in special laboratories are merely cut and paste techniques. I never expect that the fish knew more than the GMOs specialists in those laboratories.
Now, I know that "natural selection" is not "genome encoding".
As a summary in my view
-
Mud (protein based or whatever) can never turn into a single cell "life" even you put how much lightening or thunder (and I don't belive that false "russian" experiment which says it can).
-
Single cell life forms, fish, dogs, apes and dog's can't encode things into their genomes.
-
An African or Asian person is as much human as any of you (I say this because racists like to put that view that we're "sub-human" or less evolved/developed than them and I hope you don't believe it too). According to the biology I learnt, if we're not same "homo sapiens" then the children of cross race wouldn't be able to reproduce anymore (for example the offspirng of a horse and a donkey can't reproduct anymore...).
If I or anybody here or any human being in the world still appear as more "ape like" than yourself to any of you, Then, apart from the reasons above, please consider this verse too
4913 O mankind, We created you from a male and female, and We made you into nations and tribes, that you may know one another. Surely, the most honorable among you in the sight of God is the most righteous. God is Knowledgeable, Expert.
It is God who caused us to change into nations and tribes - so "you may know one another". I hope it is not understood as a sign to know evolution from people who look more "ape like" instead.
Also
638 And there is not a creature in the Earth, or a bird that flys with its wings, but are nations like you. We did not leave anything out of the record; then to their Lord they will be gathered.
This makes me see the word "nations" here describing the vast differences within the different species of creatures. In God's perfect design "record". Something deeper than Linnaean taxonomy - as nations are differences within the species (from 4913 - it is shown that nations and tribes are in the same "mankind" species).
God alone is the designer - the human body you're living in is God's design, clearly not an invention which apes or whatever designed and encoded into what is currently called the human genome.
In the same way, the reptile's genome are not designed by the fish, etc...
I hope this post provides some benefit to fellow humans.
May God Guide & Bless.

Peace,
Respectfully.Brains connect all sorts of things and on many occasions things don't even go together.
I have dreamt about standing in line and boarding the plane (to go to USA) with my two coworkers who have said they will never travel to the USA. So, why would my brain connect all that?
I would say that brain is experimenting with all the material it has in the memory bank. It needs to be occupied while the consciousness sleeps.God knows best.
Glory be to our God.

Peace "zidan",
Common ancestory between man and apes has been proven beyond dount EVEN on the genetic level. See chromsome fusion

http//youtube.com/watch?v=zi8FfMBYCkk
NOTE that "Ken Miller" is a catholic and should actually have much more difficulty accepting evolution than those who follow Quran alone coz the Bible gives, if taken literally, a very spontaneous type creation account. The Quran on the other hand says that GOD created us IN THE WOMB AND IN STAGES. NEVER does it mention Adam was created as an adult spontaneously and also adam does not necessarily refer to a single person either but the initial humans on the african continent. So if Ken still, despite his religion dictating the otherwise and he yet managed to reconcile, why do we where the Quran is already in favor of evoluion try to work against it? ITS SIMPLY COZ WE LET OURSELVES GET INFLUENCED BY YOUNG EARTH CREATIONISM i.e. EVANGELICAL CHTISTIANS AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN on one level or the other!Heres further molecular evidence(Refernces provided at the bottom)
http//talkorigins.org/faqs/comdesc/section4.html#retroviruses
http//talkorigins.org/faqs/comdesc/section4.htmlLast but not least check out Ibn-e-Khaldoun's book "al-muqaddimmah" pages 74-75 who wrote 500 years before darwin
"This world with all the created things in it has a certain order and solid construction. It shows nexuses between causes and things caused, combinations of some parts of creation with others, and transformations of some existent things into others, in a pattern that is both remarkable and endless.""One should then take a look at the world of creation. It started out from the minerals and progressed, in an ingenious, gradual manner, to plants and animals. The last stage of minerals is connected with the first stage of plants, such as herbs and seedless plants. The last stage of plants, such as palms and vines, is connected with the first stage of animals, such as snails and shellfish which have only the power of touch. The word 'connection' with regard to these created things means that the last stage of each group is fully prepared to become the first stage of the newest group."
"The animal world then widens, its species become numerous, and, in a gradual process of creation, it finally leads to man, who is able to think and reflect. The higher stage of man is reached from the world of monkeys, in which both sagacity and preception are found, but which has not reached the stage of actual reflection and thinking. At this point we come to the first stage of man. This is as far as our (physical) observation extends."
GOD has already ordained the laws of te universe as such that everything self assembles according to His plan. Thats why GOD also says in the Quran that He raises the clouds, He sends down water from heaven, He asked the heavens and earth to come together willingly or unwillingly etc etc. Does this mean GOD intervenes everytime to make these systems to work? Think man. Even sunnis accept that the creation of the universe happened via natural processes over billion yrs. We are part of the universe and were created by GOD via His laws in stages as the uran says too AND NOT SPONTANEOSULY. GOD Bless!

Salam,
Evolution is true but whether humans from apes of any other species is still debatable. Ultimately any specie that existed and those that survived now all came from God' creation.
Is not He, who created the heavens and earth, able to create the like of them? Yes indeed; He is the All-creator, the All-knowing.
His command, when He desires a thing, is to say to it 'Be,' and it is.
Look at the creation of the earth. If you compare it to human creation, the human creator has to, from time to time, come and repair his creation.
In contrast, God created the outer part of the earth (lithosphere) as a series of plates virtually floating on liquefied inner materials. In effect, the earth when the earth experienced too much pressure, the Creator dont need to come back and repair the earth. Instead the earth repairs relieve itself in from earthquakes and volcanoes. After an earthquake or volcanoes, the earth's underlying pressure is release. It will take years for the same earthquake to return - when it has accumulated the required amount of pressure.
God bless.

Peace.JK- If we did not come from apes then please explain to me the chromosome fusion at our chromosome pair 2 in the video above. Also how come we share many same endogeneous retroviruses with chimaonzees and other apes AT THE EXACT SAME LOCATION ON THE CHRMOSME WHICH IS ONLY POSSIBLE IF WE ACDQUIRED THOSE VIRUSES VIA COMMON DESCENT, OTHERWISE IF WE ACQUIRE ANY OF THOSE SAME VIRUSES ANYTIME THEY WOULD DOCK ON TO ANY PLACE IN THE GENOME AT RANDOM AND THE POSITION BEING THE SAME AS THOSE INHERITED ENDOGENOUS VIRUSES IS LESS THAN ONE IN HUNDRED MILLION. There goes the probability completely in favor of evolution.
As to why dont humans change into apes the answer is simple BOTH from a scientific as well as from a spiritual(if you like) perspective. From the cistific viewpoint humans are perfectly adopted to their environment, so are most other apes, so no more change. Spiritually GOD wanted to create humans and did not intend to create another species out of them. Hope that clears this issue up once and for all. GOD Bless! -

JK- All living things on earth sharing a common ancestor is NOT DEBATABLE AT ALL amongst 99.9% of the scientists in the entire world who are experts in biology and paleontology. Even most other scientists escept the theory. Next thing to understand is that early Islamic scholars also knew about ape-men evolution 500 years before darwin. Read the following
http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=16949.msg170045#msg170045
Infact if all the species on earth were created separately the argument for the existence of one God would infact weaken, YES it would indeed since then one could claim that different species, though similar, were created by a different god. BUT if evolution and common descent are true then there CAN BE ONLY ONE GOD. Whether someone denies the existence of God in totality is another issue to be dealt with separately but even atheists must admit that if there is a god He must be One for all coz of common descent.Is not He, who created the heavens and earth, able to create the like of them? Yes indeed; He is the All-creator, the All-knowing.
His command, when He desires a thing, is to say to it 'Be,' and it is.
Look at the creation of the earth. If you compare it to human creation, the human creator has to, from time to time, come and repair his creation.
JK- No this is wrong. GOD can and has setup the laws in advance which will govern all phenomena in nature. Thts why technically GOD is doing everything all the time. This does not mean theres any intervention but that GOD's laws are operating all over. As an example the Quran says
Do you not realize that GOD drives the clouds, then gathers them together, then piles them on each other, then you see the rain coming out of them? He sends down from the sky loads of snow to cover whomever He wills, while diverting it from whomever He wills. The brightness of the snow almost blinds the eyes.
Now do you or has anyone ever seen GOD intervene to move the clouds, gather them together and the whole process? So this verse symbolically shows that GOD has setup the system in advance and since relative to GOD time doesnt mean anything it is as if Hes directly doing it. Besides not even sunni/shia have ever claimed from this verse that GOD is intervening here everytime but when it comes to the creation of man then they do. This shows they got infleunced from the Bible as usual.In contrast, God created the outer part of the earth (lithosphere) as a series of plates virtually floating on liquefied inner materials. In effect, the earth when the earth experienced too much pressure, the Creator dont need to come back and repair the earth. Instead the earth repairs relieve itself in from earthquakes and volcanoes. After an earthquake or volcanoes, the earth's underlying pressure is release. It will take years for the same earthquake to return - when it has accumulated the required amount of pressure.

JK- The Creator dont need to intrevene at all as ive mentioned His laws are constantly operating all the time which causes things to be fixed and that is similar to Him being everywhere all the time. GOD Bless!

Respectfully.If The Exalted God AllPowerful, The Most Wise, created human beings without the intention of creating another species out of them, then that is the answer to it. The Exalted God The Most Just, created humans and placed them on Earth, now that we are here, we have discovered we share the planet with another species - animals. So we are not part of animals and we have not come out of animals.
But you didn't exactly answere dme what, if anything, caused the change from an ape into human? A meteor? A virus? Alien beam? What caused an ape to become a human?
I don't think nor believe that we came from apes because there's no evidence to support sucha claim. And The Exalted God The Most Wise tells us in The Quran that He AllMighty created us and them, we are seperate species and we all glorify Him.
If a human came from an ape, i would really like to ask Adam and Eve how do they fit into this story.
Glory be to our God.

JK- No what it means is that GOD used His natural laws which lead to finally evolve mankind at a certain stage. And also GOD does mention that if we become disobedient Hed replace us with another species whod appreciate His laws
We created them, and established them, and, whenever we will, we can substitute others in their place.
Creation is a continuous process operating via natural laws, not one of supernatural intervention at certain times.But you didn't exactly answere dme what, if anything, caused the change from an ape into human? A meteor? A virus? Alien beam? What caused an ape to become a human?
JK- MUTATIONS and NATURAL SELECTION on our ancestor primates, in the the gorillas and the great apes. Small changes accumulated, were accepted by tzhe nbatural envirmonet because they were suited, passed on those traits, then those traits were further enhanced through yet more beneficial mutations selected by the enviroment. The most prominent change was a single step beta cad gene mutation causing it to release more brain substance. This caused us to evolve the larger brain and finally become classified as human. Note that most mutations are neutral. Then there are harmful ones but occassinally a cerrtain mutation comes out to be beneficial in a certain environment at a certain time. Also dont forget that small mutations and small changes in the way in which geens express themselves i.e. genetic drift, occur in every new born. These accumulate over time and if beneficial are carried on.
I don't think nor believe that we came from apes because there's no evidence to support sucha claim. And The Exalted God The Most Wise tells us in The Quran that He AllMighty created us and them, we are seperate species and we all glorify Him.

Peace.JK- THERES TONS OF EVIDENCE! I mentioned it in my above posts, the most significant evidence on the gentic level. Didnt you watch the clip on chromosome 2? Apparently not since you didnt answer me. Then i gave you the reference to endogenous retroviruses. Again you didnt answer me as to why we share the same ervs with chimps in the same location on the chromosome if we didnt evolve from a common ancestor. Think abt tht alot coz this is the greatest evidence and if you dont accept that you might as well reject the Quran. Heres the clip and refernce

Mutations take place in DNA all the time; some are beneficial and some are not.
I don't think nor believe that we came from apes because there's no evidence to support sucha claim. And The Exalted God The Most Wise tells us in The Quran that He AllMighty created us and them, we are seperate species and we all glorify Him.
You could say that they are separate species, but that is only because of the slight differences in their DNA. Humans and chimps share about 98% of their DNA.
If a human came from an ape, i would really like to ask Adam and Eve how do they fit into this story.
Who knows. It might be meant metaphorically or maybe there was a historical Adam, but he came into existence through evolution.
I haven't decided on the matter of Humans having evolved from another species yet, as the Quran suggests that Adam was created in paradise where it is possible that the laws of our universe wouldn't necessarily apply. As for micro-evolution or the macro-evolution of other species, the Quran doesn't contradict this.

Peace,
Respectfully.Adam and his wife were humans as we are told in The Quran. How do i know they were humans? Well, The Exalted God The Most Wise tells us in The Quran
" He taught Adam all the names then presented them to the angels, saying, "Give me the names of these, if you are right."If The Exalted God AllMighty taught Adam all the names, then, that creature that Adam was can't be dumb after arriving on Earth from Paradise.
We also know that satan said he will mislead us all and as we know, satan is not sugegsting to animals to commit shirk but humans, so, animals are apparently not going to Paradise nor Hell. Animals are here so we can eat. That's we can take chicken B and chicken E and multiplay them, even thought they are related. Chickens have ni identity like, no names, no ties.
Same with apes - they have only one rule Survival Of The Fittest.
Humans are different We Care.
We may share 98% of the DNA with apes, 99% and 100% but then one must ask him/herself"Was Adam an ape or a human?"God knows best.
God bless you all.
Glory be to our God.

Personally, i am not convinced that human beings are from monkeys. In my opinion, the fact that 98% of the Dna of the humans is the same as the Dna of monkeys, don't prove anything. Because if we go by that logic, then what about the pigs? As we know, pigs organs etc are very similar to humans. Does this then mean that humans once were pigs? off course not. I am keeping an open mind, won't limit myself and will consider it a possibility that humans are from apes, however, what the mainstream scientists say or believe is irrelevant. If we follow the majority they may lead us astray. What the majority of scientists believe may just be like the beliefs of the majority of doctors. The majority of doctors don't know that many diseases including cancer can be healed by natures own medicine; fruit, vegetables and herbs. The doctors have blindly followed old medical systems. The medical industry gain/profit billions of dollars on laboratory-made poisonous medicine instead of using natural treatments from our nature. Anyway, we must understand that what the majority of people believe doesn't mean that its the truth. Its the truth that should be the authority, and we should look at different sides before making a decision. Here is the debunking of the Ape-theory

JK- Endogenous retroviruses have NOT JUST TO DO WITH SIMILARITY. If we find the same ervs in two species docked on to the SAME place on the chromsome WE MUST CONCLUDE that they had a common ancestor. This is because the same ervs dont dock on the same place if any secies acquires them during their lfetime BUT ONLY VIA INHERITANCE. THIS is exactly what happened in case of humans and chimps. WE SHARE certain ervs at the exact same location a dn thus we must be related. WATCH THIS CLIP VERYY CAREFULLY(AFTER ONE MINUTE THE ACTUAL INTERESTING PT STARTS)

JK- Adam was a human. Didnt you get my point? But Adam developed in the womb of a a primate non-human. This could have happend via punctuated equilibrium where genetic mutations accumulating for a time suddenly cause a drastical change in the next offpring at a critical point whilst before although the mutations wera already there didnt show up on the amcro level. An example to understand this would be recessive genes like black genes present in a white person who was born to a black and white couple. He, th white man with recessive black genes, may give birth to a black child even if he marries a pure white woman. Ofcourse this is a very simplified example but itll give u the idea.

That garden couldve well been here on earth as the new universe which GOD will create after rolling up these heavens does not yet exist. Also GOD clearly says in the Quran that mankind was created in stages AND in the womb. So evolution of man perfectly fits the Quran. Besides islamic scholars like ibn-e-khaldoon came up with ape-men evolution 500 years before darwin. I quote from his book "al-muqaddimah" pg 74-75
"This world with all the created things in it has a certain order and solid construction.

Peace jonny_k,
I'll try to look into your video suggestions when I get some more time.
I do find the idea of evolution as an onging God-designed process, under God's laws, interesting. It might be how God gradually added new designs/species into His existing creation.
In the mean time, could you please answer/reply the points in my previous post first?

Mud (protein based or whatever) can never turn into a single cell "life."
-
Single cell life forms, fish, dogs, apes and dog's can't encode things into their genomes. "Lower" lifes didn't design the "eye", "heart", "arm", etc.
-
An African or Asian person is as much human as any of you (I say this because racists like to put that view that we're "sub-human" or less evolved/developed than them and I hope you don't believe it too). According to the biology I learnt, if we're not same "homo sapiens" then the children of cross race wouldn't be able to reproduce anymore (for example the offspirng of a horse and a donkey can't reproduct anymore...)
3.1 How are other "nations" more evolved/better than them? Comparing by the face that someone look more similar to apes would not be an evidence, right?
3.2 When I was younger, I also used to see someone looks so much like a pig, but I didn't conclude that he evolved from a pig. I'm sure you agree too.- Your human genome/body/design you're living in is designed and encoded by apes?
In addition to my previous post, somes questions i ask myself similar to the following also make be understand that there is Intelligent Design.
- The complex biosphere we're living in right now, food chain, oxygen cycle, ecosystem, we're living right now, natural instinct - was clearly designed to work together in harmony - by the same designer.
5.2 The baby human just knew that it needed to suckle the milk from the mother.
5.3 The baby bird knew that it had to cry and open its mouth for food from its mother.Lastly, what do you think after watching, if you have time, this "creationist" video

- Mud (protein based or whatever) can never turn into a single cell "life."
JK- This is related to the theory of "abiogenesis" and is not part of evolution which deals only in matters once life has already started. Althoug abiogenesis is still not cplete there are some very good theories on how life started from non living minerals. One of those theories is the "clay hypothesis" which matches with the Quran
http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abiogenesis#Clay_theory
Also the discovery of RNA has been great evidence for abiogenesis since RNA can store information like DNA and also catalyze reactions like proteins (enzymes) which may have supported cellular or pre-cellular life.
http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abiogenesis#.22Genes_first.22_models_the_RNA_world- Single cell life forms, fish, dogs, apes and dog's can't encode things into their genomes. "Lower" lifes didn't design the "eye", "heart", "arm", etc.
JK- Yes they can encode new things into their genomes VIA MUTATIONS AND CHANGE IN ALLELE FREQUNCY.
http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutation
http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_drift
Single cells continue to react with their environment absorbing minerals and later other materials from life forms around them and producing a huge number of mutations all according to GOD's set laws of chemistry which then produce many features on the macro level. Then the environment selects for the beneficial ones and weeds out the non beneficial ones with every sub sequent generation. Animals/plants which have already reached a signficnt complex level then work more with things/features they already have, only occasionally showing up a new feature like the bacteria which evolved to digest nylon. Living examples of transitional forms would be

http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_fish- An African or Asian person is as much human as any of you (I say this because racists like to put that view that we're "sub-human" or less evolved/developed than them and I hope you don't believe it too). According to the biology I learnt, if we're not same "homo sapiens" then the children of cross race wouldn't be able to reproduce anymore (for example the offspirng of a horse and a donkey can't reproduct anymore...)
JK- Those who support evolution are actually less racists. Who were the racists back before Darwin even came into the picture? It were the evangelical Christians who beleived Jesus was in favor of the white people. Evolution has set clear boundaries for what is human and we can do DNA testing to be sure if the creature is human or not. A creationist might look at a apparently strange creature in the jungle and say "oh thts just an ape kill him" whilst those whove studied evolution will go down into minute details to figure it out. So again evolution is by no means more racist.
3.1 How are other "nations" more evolved/better than them? Comparing by the face that someone look more similar to apes would not be an evidence, right?
JK- Exactly its DNA what counts. If there are 23 pairs of chromosmes with the fusion site at chromosome 2 then its most definitely a human no matter whether he/she may look apelike on the phenotype level i.e. in his/her body as viewed with the naked eye.
3.2 When I was younger, I also used to see someone looks so much like a pig, but I didn't conclude that he evolved from a pig. I'm sure you agree too.
JK- Exactly my point which ive explained above. Animals may look similar on the phenotype level due to convergent evolution(similar features evolved due to the animal transversing similar environemtal conditions, see http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convergent_evolution) e.g. is the platypus which has a duck like bill. However if we study it genetially well find tht bill's made of a leather like substance and not keratin as those in birds.
- Your human genome/body/design you're living in is designed and encoded by apes?
JK- The organism never consiously knows what it's encoding. This is in the SYSTEM of nature as GOD has calculated it from the beginning. And yes the 23 pairs of chromosomes in humans and all the other human traits evolved out of apelike creatures.
In addition to my previous post, somes questions i ask myself similar to the following also make be understand that there is Intelligent Design.
- The complex biosphere we're living in right now, food chain, oxygen cycle, ecosystem, we're living right now, natural instinct - was clearly designed to work together in harmony - by the same designer.
JK- It was designed FROM THE BEGINNING at the big bang. GOD didnt need to intervene again and again. He calculated everything perfectly and so it evolved over time just like the starts, planets, comets etc.
5.2 The baby human just knew that it needed to suckle the milk from the mother.
JK- Yes because GOD set up a system which would evolve a baby in such a way that itd derive benefits from knowing this and thus do it. So GOD gave it that ability but He didnt need to intervene at some point in the universe and say "Oh lets give the baby another feature i havnt though off be4". Get my pt?
5.3 The baby bird knew that it had to cry and open its mouth for food from its mother.
JK- Same as above.
Lastly, what do you think after watching, if you have time, this "creationist" video

May God Bless.
Peace,
Zidane.JK- These are all young earth creationist biased claims to make the BIBLE, NOT the Quran, appear literally true which we all know its not. Beleive me i did fall into their trap ocne but ive seen wht frauds they are. This has all been answered. See

If this were true unbiased scientists from all over the world wldve accepted this withut problem. GOD Bless!
