Christian Creationism Takes Over Science in Islam
June 10th 2007 09:29
I guess it was expected, after the good far-far-far-far-right-wing Christian folk brought their concepts and ideas of 'creationism' to the Middle East, it was inevitable some jerk would eventually pick it up and reform it to fit in with Islam. But why?
Islam, the same religion that speaks of the origins of the universe, of the development of the human embryo, the religion that said the Earth was round, not flat, that the Pyramids of Egypt were built by workers, not slaves, the religion that turned superstitious nutbags into some of the greatest and most progressive scientists in the history of mankind, who developed in mathematics so advanced that the western world took hundreds of years to catch up.
How the hell did anyone come up and figure that we'll modify (even slightly) Christian science and apply it to Islam and along with it some of the craziest and most inane theories have been thrown in (from Christianity). Creationism blames Darwinsm for everything, from over materialsm to BLOODY SEPTEMBER 11!
Now, as a Muslim, I don't accept the theory of Evolution in full. I don't accept it not because I think it is outright flawed but because I know theres room to learn more about it. I'm sure there are flaws in the theory that will come into light as time passes by and we learn more about how animals grow and evolve to adapt to their environments. This is what science is essentially based on, finding flaws in what we know and learning more about the world as a result.
