Intelligent natural selection or imaginary evolution
. The word “then” has shaped him into the current human being, then after a while, he has ordered the angels to prostrate before one of the human beings. Therefore, the “creation” or the first creation is his evolution from water and soil and giving life (blowing the soul) to him, which is not possible except while existing as a “type” or “types”, and it follows from this verse. That man has gone through certain periods and stages: First – the stage after creation and before being formed as a human being. Second – the stage after finding the form of “human” and before choosing a person from among people of the type. “Third is the stage of choosing Adam from among them, and after that, commanding the angels to prostrate before Adam.”
The verses of the Qur’an clearly show that the perfect man did not immediately emerge from the mud; Rather, by divine wisdom, the first living thing emerged from the mud, and then life in the chain of beings evolved in their order until it reached man.
آیهی (وَ قَدْ خَلَقَکُمْ اَطْواراً)؛
While He created you in successive and Consecutive creations. It is another proof of this.
Ayatollah Meshkini in his book “Evolution in the Quran”:
For the verses in question, he does not consider any specific meaning that is explicitly implied in the text. He mentions various interpretations of these verses and, finally, distinguishes between the understanding of the commentators and the verses of the Bible. In this section, a summary of his views is discussed:
- The meaning of the verses of Genesis of man to the type of man: Verses that express the creation of man (PBUH) and its origin is soil, water, mud, sticky mud, poured sludge, dried mud, closed blood, mud and sludge, separated component He knows one thing, low and insignificant water, jumping water, water, sperm, pieces of flesh, blood clots, etc., and in expressing how man and man came into being as a general species, it does not mean the creation of man as a definite and special person.
B) Compromise of the theory of evolution with theology: The issue of evolution or evolution, which some verses of the Qur’an interpret differently, not only does not deny the existence of God and the Creator, but is a proof of the existence of a wise creator
