Evolution In The Light Of The Quran
Good point, single soul or “nafs” might refer to single soul. It can also be LUCA tho.
I think “kun” is for adding the soul to the biological body that make us “human”. The birth process of adam and Jesus has a deviation from the regular birth process and that’s what makes both the births similar. Adam might have parents but he got the human soul later and Jesus got the soul in the womb but he had no father. Both births are different from the way a baby to a human couple is born.
Does it mean adam was the first and only animal of humanoid specie and did not have parents? Is it also possible that there were many humanoid species reproducing for many generations while God was perfecting them and finally chose one of them to get self awareness, cognitive ability and free will to become a human?
