There are 2 reasons why Muslims don't have to change their beliefs, to fit Darwinian Evolution:
Number 1: Science does not lead to certainty and
Number 2: 'Darwin's Theory of Evolution' is NOT indisputable.
So Darwinian Evolution CAN be accepted by Muslims as a valid theory,
but not something absolutely true.
The first thing we need to do is make a distinction between
Basic Evolution and Darwin's theory of Evolution.
Basic Evolution is; Biological change over time.
Darwinian Evolution is composed of 2 parts:
1) The Tree of life and 2) Natural Selection.
The basic type of Evolution is simply true (yeah), it happens all around us.
Take butterflies or bacteria evolving resistance to medicine
and numerous other examples. No one disagrees with this type of Biological Evolution.
But get this. This was well known before Darwin. Yes before Darwin!
It's the second type which is problematic, which requires more evidence
for the Tree of life and Natural Selection, other than mere observations.
But sadly people confuse the two types together and assume
proof for the former, is proof for the latter.
And this is not to mention some of the problems with regards to Darwinian evolution.
Number 1: No matter how successful a scientific theory is,
it can always be changed and challenged due to new observations.
And interpretations
Philosophy of science teaches us that there is no absolute concrete proof for any scientific theory.
Number 2: The Tree of Life is based on the idea of Homology; which is the assumption
that two species with similar genes and anatomy have evolved from a common ancestor.
Left as it is, it's just an assumption, not a conclusion based on evidence.
Yet there is a problem, Homoplasy.
Homoplasy is the observation of similarities which cannot be due to common ancestry.
Number 3: Gradualism.
Darwin assumed evolution takes place in small slight steps,
this assumption is an essential part of Darwin's theory.
In fact, he actually said that this is like a Falsification condition to his entire framework.
But the fossil record shows the exact opposite: rapid changes in biological features also.
Number 4: Selfishness.
Darwinism assumes that the only reason
for our existence is to selfishly care for our own survival and reproduction.
But it doesn't explain why many people give charity anonymously,
why governments collect taxes for hospitals to help survival of the unfittest.
Why people care about animals, ancient buildings
and are willing to die for their values and ideals.
Number 5: Some notable biologists and philosophers
have pointed out that there is propaganda about Darwinism,
and they see it being pushed as an undeniable reality, when it is far from it.
In fact some have even labelled Darwinism as a religion due to the activities of Darwinists.
In addition to this, Darwinism isn't even the
only Theory of Evolution. In fact let me just give you three alternatives.
Number 1: Evolution by Natural genetic engineering.
Number 2: Neo-Lamarckian evolution And Number 3: Mutation driven evolution.
What was the point of all this?
I'm not trying to tell you that this theory is invalid, it's still the main scientific theory
to explain biological change and also the majority of biologists also subscribe to it.
Mentioning the disagreements above is done only to show that Darwinism
is not an eternal truth set in stone, as some may have us believe.
So how can this be reason enough, to make Muslims change their beliefs about the creator
and the Quran's view of the creation of mankind?
