Friend Peace has this to say:

Quote:
No, humans haven't just appreared haphazardley, they were created by God. The first human being that was created is Adam then Eve and we are all their progeny, it's very simple. We Muslims don't believe in Darwin's idea of human evolution.
Like everyone to respond this.

Love & rgds

Neither Darwin's theories nor the story of "Adam and Eve" are explanations for how man appeared. Evolution explains changes in species; "Adam and Eve" is a myth, interpretations of which (including the literal) are varied.

My reply, then, is "I don't know."

Nobody really knows for sure the true answer to this, and while I do believe in the theory of evolution because of all the evidence backing it up, I will also say that because the theory is still in its childhood, we don't know much about it.

I'd like to remind everybody that fossils are very rare, and it is highly unlikely that we'll find fossil remains of every single human ancestor that ever existed. Remember that our species was the first to bury their dead. (as far as I know)

I do know that, like every other species, we didn't just "appear" out of thin air. It was a slow, gradual process that is still going on; while Adam would have been the same species, I guarantee that he would have looked very different from us at ~6000 years; the earliest members of our species would have looked nothing like us.

A single generation would never notice any difference. But I don't believe that we are now perfected; in fact, we've got a long way to go before we even get within a universe's diameter of that word.

In the sense that "Adam" and "Eve" were the first Humans who appeared ~6,000 years ago, that is obviously false.

Friends,
Atleast do respond as to what your thoughts on ADAM & EVE being created by god. Is it acceptable to you?

NOPE. There is no God... so they weren't created by him.

Big man done it!

In all seriousness, I don't know. I don't really care, either, sadly. If we evolved, it doesn't change a thing - if we were created, it still doesn't change a thing. I tend to lean towards evolution, though.

If one reads through the words of the names of the Garden of Eden, it seems a little bit obvious it's not meant to be literal - just look at the names! It seems to be more like a story, a metaphor, for why we are here - more of an explanation about human ego and jealousy and how humanity is unable to listen to God. I guess it became literal as times changed and meanings were lost within the names?

Names:
Adam -Man (possibly signifying humanity?) or Dust
Eve (Havvah) - Living One
Cain (from what was South Arabian qyn - metalsmith)
Abel (modern Arabic cognate ibil - herdsman).
Seth - Placed/Appointed (because he was a 'replacement' for Abel, I guess?)

So we have, Man, Living One, Metalsmith and Herdsman, and Replacement.

Something about the etymology of their names shows that they probably were not intended to be real people.. to me at least
Who would really name their child "Replacement"? Poor kid!

Just my two cents! I may not be right, but at least it's neater.

My response is this: The whole story of Genesis is a myth. Adam and Eve are mythological characters. They didn't really exist. At most you can take them as allegorical symbols.

Humans did not just "appear". They were not formed out of dirt by "god". If anything, we can be traced to the beginnings of life in water. We were not formed as clay. No mold, no shaping, no placing in any garden.

The whole? Including Moses??

I think Noah is also myth, or as I prefer it, symbolism.
In fact, even Job is symbolism (it's poetry in Hebrew!).
