So you don't believe in DNA either?
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BRINING THE DNA TOPIC UP...the DNA is indeed a proof of creation:
DNA Double Helix: A Recent Discovery of Enormous Complexity:
The DNA Double Helix is one of the greatest scientific discoveries of all time. First described by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953, DNA is the famous molecule of genetics that establishes each organism's physical characteristics. It wasn't until mid-2001, that the Human Genome Project and Celera Genomics jointly presented the true nature and complexity of the digital code inherent in DNA. We now understand that there are approximately 35,000 genes in each human DNA molecule, comprised of chemical bases arranged in approximately 3 billion precise sequences. Even the DNA molecule for the single-celled bacterium, E. coli, contains enough information to fill all the books in any of the world's largest libraries.
DNA Double Helix: The "Basics"
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is a double-stranded molecule that is twisted into a helix like a spiral staircase. Each strand is comprised of a sugar-phosphate backbone and numerous base chemicals attached in pairs. The four bases that make up the stairs in the spiraling staircase are adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C) and guanine (G). These stairs act as the "letters" in the genetic alphabet, combining into complex sequences to form the words, sentences and paragraphs that act as instructions to guide the formation and functioning of the host cell. Maybe even more appropriately, the A, T, C and G in the genetic code of the DNA molecule can be compared to the "0" and "1" in the binary code of computer software. Like software to a computer, the DNA code is a genetic language that communicates information to the organic cell.
The DNA code, like a floppy disk of binary code, is quite simple in its basic paired structure. However, it's the sequencing and functioning of that code that's enormously complex. Through recent technologies like x-ray crystallography, we now know that the cell is not a "blob of protoplasm", but rather a microscopic marvel that is more complex than the space shuttle. The cell is very complicated, using vast numbers of phenomenally precise DNA instructions to control its every function.
Although DNA code is remarkably complex, it's the information translation system connected to that code that really baffles science. Like any language, letters and words mean nothing outside the language convention used to give those letters and words meaning. This is modern information theory at its core. A simple binary example of information theory is the "Midnight Ride of Paul Revere." In that famous story, Mr. Revere asks a friend to put one light in the window of the North Church if the British came by land, and two lights if they came by sea. Without a shared language convention between Paul Revere and his friend, that simple communication effort would mean nothing. Well, take that simple example and multiply by a factor containing many zeros.
We now know that the DNA molecule is an intricate message system. To claim that DNA arose by random material forces is to say that information can arise by random material forces. Many scientists argue that the chemical building blocks of the DNA molecule can be explained by natural evolutionary processes. However, they must realize that the material base of a message is completely independent of the information transmitted. Thus, the chemical building blocks have nothing to do with the origin of the complex message. As a simple illustration, the information content of the clause "nature was designed" has nothing to do with the writing material used, whether ink, paint, chalk or crayon. In fact, the clause can be written in binary code, Morse code or smoke signals, but the message remains the same, independent of the medium. There is obviously no relationship between the information and the material base used to transmit it. Some current theories argue that self-organizing properties within the base chemicals themselves created the information in the first DNA molecule. Others argue that external self-organizing forces created the first DNA molecule. However, all of these theories must hold to the illogical conclusion that the material used to transmit the information also produced the information itself. Contrary to the current theories of evolutionary scientists, the information contained within the genetic code must be entirely independent of the chemical makeup of the DNA molecule.
DNA Double Helix:
Its Existence Alone Defeats any Theory of Evolution
The scientific reality of the DNA double helix can single-handedly defeat any theory that assumes life arose from non-life through materialistic forces. Evolution theory has convinced many people that the design in our world is merely "apparent" -- just the result of random, natural processes. However, with the discovery, mapping and sequencing of the DNA molecule, we now understand that organic life is based on vastly complex information code, and such information cannot be created or interpreted without a Master Designer at the cosmic keyboard.
What do you expect the apes to evolve into PM? They are evolving as apes, and we are evolving as homo sapien sapiens. Evolution does not happen instantly, but it happens through gradual changes over millions of years.
That is not true...you failed to explain why the eyes dont evolove !!!
'A Half-Developed Eye Cannot See'
What comes to your mind first when you hear the word "eye"? Are you aware that one of the most crucial things in life for you is your ability to see? Even if you are, have you ever thought what other signs your eye bears?
The eye is one of the most manifest pieces of evidence that living creatures are created. All sight organs, including animal eyes and the human eye, are extremely striking examples of perfect design. This exceptional organ is so overwhelmingly complex that it surpasses even the most sophisticated man-made devices in the world.
In order for an eye to see, all of its parts have to co-exist and work in harmony. For instance, if an eye happened to have lost its eyelid, but still had all the other parts such as the cornea, conjunctiva, iris, pupil, eye lenses, retina, choroid, eye muscles, and tear glands, it would still be greatly damaged and soon lose its seeing function. In the same manner, even if all its organelles were present, if the tear production were stopped, the eye would soon dry out and become blind.
The eye, which has an extremely complex structure, is not able to see in the absence of even a single on of its components, for instance the tear glands, when the act of seeing takes places.
"The chain of coincidences" posited by evolutionists loses all its meaning against the complex structure of the eye. It is not possible to explain the existence of the eye other than as a matter of special creation. The eye has a multi-sectioned complex system and, as discussed above, all of these individual sections had to come into existence at the same time. It is impossible for a half-developed eye to function at "half capacity". In such a circumstance, the act of seeing can by no means take place. An evolutionist scientist admits to this truth:
The common trait of the eyes and the wings is that they can only function if they are fully developed. In other words, a halfway-developed eye cannot see; a bird with half-formed wings cannot fly.13
In this case, we again face that very important question: who created all of the components of the eye all at once?
The owner of the eyes is obviously not the one who makes the decision about their formation. For it is impossible for a being devoid of the knowledge of what seeing is like, to desire to have a seeing organ and have it attached to his body. So we have to accept the existence of a Possessor of superior Wisdom Who has created living beings with senses such as seeing, hearing, and so on. Another claim is that unconscious cells gained consciousness-requiring functions such as seeing and hearing by their own desire and effort. It is crystal clear that this is impossible. In the Qur'an, it is stated that seeing has been bestowed upon living beings by God:
''Say: He it is Who brought you into being and made for you the ears and the eyes and the hearts: little is it that you give thanks'' (The Qur'an, 67:23)
If you believe in microbes, bacteria and viruses, then you must believe in evolution.
Do viruses evolve as well ????
PM we share DNA with just about every animal on this planet. That is proof enough that we all evolved from one common ancestor.
This is not a proof of anything, other animals share the same DNA as well, could we say for example that the DOLPHINS and the BUFFALOS came from the same ancestor ???? this is ABSURD.
it is only a proof of a creator...who made this amazing DNA in the first place ??????????
PM, if God made man, why did he/she not make man into a perfect being?
We are PERFECT creature in design, cant you see, cant you hear, cant you taste, feel, laugh, cry, think...etc ???
Why design or create a man riddled with faults? Why did he/she not create a being that was immune to disease or illness?
Because life has purpose, you wont live forever, Allah Almighty gave you certain years on this earth and then you will go, you will return back to him...illness and disease is a way to intiate death which is again ALLAH'S CREATURE.
Why create a man who could lie and deceive when in God's eyes, such a thing is a sin?
To test you and your faith and belief, to make life more interesting, you cant imagine a life where everyone say the truth....look at the athiests and the darwinists, they lie about creation, thus making us laughing at them....this is life...lies and truth, deception and honesty, it is filled with contrasts to make it more interesting which is again MAKE ME MORE GRATEFUL FOR HIS INFINITE MAJESTIY, ALLAH ALMIGHTY.
Why do we all have different traits? Science has answered these questions for me PM, the bible, has not. The bible, like the Quran, is but a book written by man, and we see no proof of it today that what the bible states is the absolute truth.
Bells, you dont know ANYTHING about Islam or the Quran. The Quran was NOT written by a man, prophet Muhammad (pbuh ) did not know how to read or write, it was revealed to him from Allah Almighty.
Science cant answer everything, how old humanity now ?? millions of years and yet we could not manage to get to Mars, we could not find a cure for cancer, AIDS....etc.
I find it sad that you don't teach your children all the theories that exist in the world and then let them make up their own minds. Who knows PM, they could be the ones who end up teaching you.
I have a responsibility toward my GOD on what I teach my childern, I will never ever teach them anything that posion their brains such as the evolution garbage, Islam is the TRUTH, Islam is the RIGHT WAY...Islam is the religion that initiate search and knowledge under the lights of faith and belief.
You know bells, I am not Muslim because my parents were Muslims, no..I am Muslim because I studied Islam and discovered its pearls while studying in the U.K. Before I left Syria to the UK to study there, I was just normal Syrian Muslim, when in the UK I was shocked by the morale decay and the ethical bankruptcy the west is suffering from, I was sad to see how those westerners are without faith and how lost they are.....I searched for shelter, I remembered I am Muslim, I returned back to my faith and I found amazing inner assurance and Peace, I found endless ocean of knowledge to take from.
I advice you to read serious books about Islam, Islam has the answers to all life questions and as one NON MUSLIM member here started a thread called Islam make sense more than christianity, I say Islam make more sense than any other man-made theories.
And not all Muslims believe as you do PM. All the Muslims I know believe in the theories of evolution. I guess their parents were more open minded and let them decide for themselves.
As I said to you, we believe in the evolution of ANIMALS, but not humans...ask those muslims, do you believe ISLAMICALLY that we came from common ape-like ancestor ?? the answer will shock you.
