I absolutely love to find lectures on things that I have been long pondering for. Since Islam is a religion of not only faith, but logic, science, and proof! I am always eager to find preachers, sheikhs, etc, who are able to explain certain topics that just leave me utterly clueless. I am taking a currently taking AP Biology, and we have begun to study evolution. Now reading about evolution, and Darwin, and all the evidence through fossils, and stratums that scientists have come upon to claim their theory of evolution to be true. I'll be honest, I was a little befuddled. I mean, these guys sounded pretty legit, their logic of well if this organism has so and so genetics, and this organism has the same so and so genetics than they must be cousins of some sort, and have the same grandparents, or great great grandparents or something like that. You know what I mean.
Anyway, I decided to do some investigating as to what Islam thought of evolution. One of my most favorite things about Islam, is that everything has a logical explanation for it. Yusha Evans, who is a convert whose story requires a post all on its own mashallah, said that the biggest sin in Christianity, is that you ask too many questions. That when he himself had asked questions concerning the legitimacy of the Christian religion, he told him, religion is not about proof, it is about faith beyond what comprehension. So I guess in other words, you have to believe in it, just not understand it. I'm not trying to beat down on the Christian religion or anything of course, I'm just reiterating something I've seen/heard. Anyway, watch the video of Yusuf Estes. For those of you who are searching for proof of religion or proof of God, I think you may find your answer here. But who knows, everyone is different and therefore not everyone sees things in the same way.
So take care, Salamz!
