Evolution is
described in the Quran.
The great muslim scholar Tusi came up with a 'Darwinian' theory of evolution (including humans) some 600 years before Darwin.
And what authority does "Hassan Ali El-Najjar" have that tells you to take him seriously? (You are all lone wolf
jihadis, interpreters of Islam, remember??) There are no authorities in Islam so what this guy says is as good as what anyone else says. Why quote/reference him? What's special about him?
God knows, we have enough Muslims with crazy ideas. Why single out this guy?
The Koran says that the sun sets in a muddy pond. That true, too? Mohammed said so himself.
Qur’an 18:83-86—And they ask you about Dhul-Qarnain. Say: “I shall recite to you something of his story.” Verily, We established him in the earth, and We gave him the means of everything. So he followed a way. Until, when he reached the setting place of the sun, he found it setting in a spring of black muddy (or hot) water. And he found near it a people.
Sunan Abu Dawud 3991—Abu Dharr said: I was sitting behind the Apostle of Allah who was riding a donkey while the sun was setting. He asked: Do you know where this sets? I replied: Allah and his Apostle know best. He said: It sets in a spring of warm water.
Global warming predicted by the Koran, what? That muddy (
or hot) water must shurely be a prediction of global warming. Shurely!
