The Bible, Qur’an & Darwinism

Abstract

From time immemorial, science and scriptures had been the strongest force in shaping Mankind history and development, though on different platforms, Science, on the platform of observation and testing of facts while religion mainly on blind faith. I intend to show that science and religion with regard to evolution are not demarcated as the agnostic advocated or as the Darwinist’s and Creationist’s polarized. Rather by invoking the scriptures I will try to show that science and religion are friends rather than foes. With the publication of Darwin’s “On the origin of species” in the 1850’s, the polarity between the two widened as scientist’s looked upon religion as something dogmatic and fatalistic, devoid of any hypothetical construction that can be verified by physical research. Religionist’s on the other hand, looked upon science as a materialist philosophy that advocates “Reductionism” and “Nothing buttery” thereby reducing faith (or God) as “…mere delusion.” How about Atheist claim of the non-existence of God? No one is in a better position to defend the existence of God like God himself and citing as proof of his existence and control, God cited four things only HE could do: Creation of matter and life and controlling death and the knowledge of the future.
