But in short, I think there is a broad range of ways in which people interpret the Qur'an and how they create their personal religion. There are certainly ways to incorporate evolution within a Muslim(and other religions as well) framework. I will have more to say on it on Friday. Thanks for your comment.Salman Hameedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04327330113822656571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38085367.post-53835411271733567362011-01-12T00:09:17.148-05:002011-01-12T00:09:17.148-05:00Hi Salman,

I started looking at Carl Sagan and Dawkins videos as well, and found them interesting.<br /><br />I had never read the Quran until some months ago, and once I did read it I was surprised by what I saw in there. There were too many contradictions, too many inhumane verses, and a lot more verses in there that really surprised me (<b>IMPORTANT</b>: no offense but I'm talking about the LITERAL Quran of course if one interepret's the Quran metaphorically then one can make up whatever interpretation one wants and make Islam look good). Okay, so it's not just Evolution, but it's also the Quran, and Hadiths (the authentic ones). <br /><br />I found your site by searching "Evolution and Islam", and watched your webcasts. I'd be interested in knowing how you interpret the Quran to accept evolution. The vast majority of Muslims disagree unfortunately, and that's because evolution contradicts the Quran. Read http://answering-Christianity.com/evolution.htm to see proof of how evolution contradicts Islam. The reason I'm asking you is because my family is Muslim of course (although they are non-practicing), but they don't believe in evolution and don't like me talking about it.Semaphorenoreply@blogger.com
