Theory Of Evolution: Criticism Of Ghamidi Sahab's Viewpoint
Normally I do not have the time to watch videos and comment on them. However, Neo-Darwinism is something that I have spent a lot of time in researching in the past so I wanted to see if this video might have presented any new aspect that might be useful to me. I was disappointed. Please find my point by point comments about some of the claims presented in this video: A scientific theory is a collection of facts which makes repeatable and testable predictions This is not accurate. There is nothing factual about the String Theory. Similarly the Big Bang Theory is neither repeatable nor testable and has no predictive power. Same goes for many other theories in science. Evolution is true because no one in the last 150 years has been able to prove it wrong Many concerns are raised against the theory of evolution within the scientific community itself. In the light of evidence against Neo Darwinism certain scientists are even arguing for a completely new theory. Hopefully this recent article will be great overview of how the theory of evolution has progressed through time and some of the current concerns: The Guardian | Do we need a new theory of evolution? Please also watch: https://youtu.be/noj4phMT9OE Evolution is falsifiable because all species that exist today have transitional forms This is also an invalid claim. There is certainly strong evidence for micro-evolution (inter species), however, there is no conclusive evidence for macro-evolution (intra species) at all. In fact there exists very strong evidence against macro-evolution. For example, majority of animal phyla first appeared in a very short timeframe in a period called the Cambrian Explosion without any prior ancestral links. This was known to Darwin himself and something that is yet to be satisfactorily answered by anyone. Also Michael Behe (Lehigh University) has presented strong criticism of Neo Darwinism on the basis of irreducible complexity which is yet to be satisfactorily refuted. Please see this video . Additionally, functionally specified information is found in the DNA which can’t be explained without an intelligent agent. This is such a big question for science that there is a $10 million award for anyone who can explain it. Please see Evolution 2.0 award details . Interbreeding between archaic and modern humans would not have produced a healthy offspring In light of evidence this is not correct either. Please see: Wikipedia | Interbreeding between archaic and modern humans Evolution is against God and the creation of Adam is in contradiction with the theory of evolution I believe that this is not correct. In addition to Ghamidi sahab there are many other Muslim and Christian scholars who do not consider the theory of evolution to be against anything in the scripture. For Ghamidi sahab’s viewpoint in this regard please watch the following video from 00:00:00 to 00:10:40: https://youtu.be/jg1wi6prZQk Revelation as a source of knowledge is an absurdity I’m not sure how someone can claim this when revelation itself is established as a source of knowledge on the very basis that all of our other sources of knowledge are established upon. For details please see this playlist . Myth of Adam being created from dust originated in ancient Mesopotamia, the Bible stole it from there and then the Quran stole it from the Bible The correct narrative according to the Quran is that God has sent down only one religion since the beginning of time but people kept on corrupting the message of God. It’s neither stealing nor a coincidence that many religious concepts have remained the same throughout the history of mankind. Guided evolution is an insult of God because God talks about kun fa yakun Please see the following for the correct understanding: Correct Translation of the Expression Kun Fayakoon Sadly, not only that the presenter of the video in discussion is ignorant about religion but is also ignorant about science – the very basis upon which he is criticizing Ghamidi sahab. —
