School Curriculum Of Evolution
Posted by Ahmad Shoaib on October 20, 2020 at 9:23 amDo any of these pages clash with Islamic principles? The common ancestor theory is taken as a given here- is that true? If i have to write proofs or take it as a fact when writing in my exams will I be sinful?

Contributor October 21, 2020 at 5:20 pmEven all coming from a common ancestor? This also raises a question did humans come from just one pair or were there many pairs that came from the earth?

Contributor October 22, 2020 at 9:45 amDoes this theory go against the Quranic narrative? Could all life have come from a single cell?

Contributor October 22, 2020 at 4:46 pmBut wouldn’t I be perhaps going against God and his clear teachings for a worldly gain?

Moderator October 22, 2020 at 4:56 pmI think you’re over-thinking this matter. You have understood the message of God and this is what God wants. Those Quranic verses are not verse on faith, they are verses of God’s signs and they are prone to our interpretation and understanding as well. You will not be doing anything against your basic faith.

Contributor October 22, 2020 at 4:58 pmI do think I’m splitting hairs here too. Just to confirm- me saying common ancestry is a fact when the Quran seemingly clashes with it is fine?

Moderator October 22, 2020 at 5:07 pmCommon ancestry is there, but Quran has a different notion of this common ancestry.
Its fine, there is no bar on you to study a different point of view and if during that study you have to take exams in accordance with that point of view, then it is just an exam to portray whether you’ve understood their point of view correctly or not, it is by no means a confession of your religious faith.
