I hope you like this article I wrote. All the religious evidence is from the Qur'an.
Evolution after Creation
"You do not see any imperfection in the creation by the Most Gracious. Keep looking; do you see any flaw? Look again and again; your eyes will come back stumped and conquered."[67:3-4] Qur'an
We have been forced to believe by some religious leaders and philosophers that evolution is against any religion that promotes the creation of the Universe by a creator. This concept is also common among most evolutionists. However, this might not be true. Evolution can coincide with Creationism as long as we believe that Creationism created the process of Evolution. As we will see in the Noble Qur'an that evolution is part of the process of creation. It must be kept in mind that this article does not discuss the validity of evolution.
The Universe, as described by the Qur'an, is flawless. There are no miracles in the Universe. Everything has a cause and a reason. The flawlessness of the Universe is the greatest miracle. Everything in the Universe follows an order and rules set by God. There are no factious forces present that govern the movements of matter in space. Evolution is part of the order that God has set for the Universe. Yet we are made to believe, by religious gurus, that evolution disobeys the Qur'anic understanding of the Universe.
According to evolution, life initially emerged from water. Cells became Tissues, and Tissue combined to form Organs. These organs worked together to form breathing, walking animals. The intelligent species came after the primitive brain was formed. Over a course of millions of years, humans came into existence. This radical theory, first described in explicit detail by Darwin, explained why a man from Africa looked different from a Aboriginal man from America. Most religious believers do not believe in this theory. From their perspective; God created humans, not primitive cells. While the first statement might seem logical, the second statement is a matter of endless debate. According to the Qur'an the humans did not come from nowhere. The creation of humans also involved a process(which do not necessarily have to be evolution). The Qur'an states:
(Qur’aan 3:59). "The similitude of Jesus before Allah is as that of Adam; He created him from dust (Earth), then said to him: “Be”: And he was."
As seen above, the Qur'an says that God controlled the creation using natural means. Evolution could have been that natural mean. At first it might seem, from the above verse, that God created humans instantly. This might have not been true since according to the Qur'an, many thousand human days are like one day for God (Special relativity). Keeping this in mind, we come to a conclusion that the creation of human did not happen instantaneously. It involved natural means.
Now let us take a look at this process that the Qur'an and the evolutionists talk about. Evolution dictates that advance life was created through the sophistication of the primitive life. This is pure logic especially for those who took biology. Life, according to Evolution, was formed over time in several stages. From primitive to advance; humans came into being. The Qur'an explains the process of creation in a chronological way as following:
[21:30] Do the unbelievers not realize that the heaven and the earth used to be one solid mass that we exploded into existence? And from water we made all living things. Would they believe?
[21:32] And we rendered the sky a guarded ceiling. Yet, they are totally oblivious to all the portents therein.
[21:33] And He is the One who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon; each floating in its own orbit.
This verse reappears again as:
"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? (Surat al-Anbiya, 30)"
The above four verse explain the first few stages of the creation. According to the Qur'an the Universe exploded into existence (this is a proven scientific fact). After the creation of Earth, life started to emerge through water. The ozone layer formed above the Earth to protect the living things. The earth, the moon and the sun started to swim along their orbits. However the verse we are interested in is, "And from water we made all living things". We see from this verse that water created all the living things. Therefore, we conclude for this paragraph that humans or any other living thing did not just pop up from nowhere. There was a process involved behind every creation.
Furthermore, the Qur'an state,
"[18:37] His friend said to him, as he debated with him, "Have you disbelieved in the One who created you from dust, then from a tiny drop, then perfected you into a man?
Man we did create from a quintessence (of clay); Then we placed as (a drop of) sperm (nutfah) in a place firmly fixed; Then we made the sperm into a clot of congealed blood (‘alaqah); Then of that clot we made a (fetus) lump (mudghah); then we made out of that lump bones and clothed the bones with flesh; then we developed out of it another creature.
[96:2] He created man from an embryo."
According to these verses, man was first created by organic materials and after that, humans started to reproduce on their own. Evolution might have been the process through which the first humans were created.
In this miracle Universe, God has created the Heavens and the Earth with flawless detail and order. Those who believe that life simply appeared in its original form on earth from no where are disobeying God's final message to humans. Both Evolutionists and Creationists must realize that their theories/beliefs do not collide with each other.
