Theory: Darwin?s Gigantic Rip-off New Book Reveals Evolution Theory?s
Islamic Roots Philadelphia ? (July 6, 2005) ? The theory of evolution has
Islamic roots. Fact or fiction? In T.O. Shanavas? provocative new book,
Creation AND/OR Evolution, get to know the real score and witness human
life, as you know it, unravel truths that will challenge everything you
think you know. Here, Shanavas goes against the flow of established truths
and boldly uncovers the theory of evolution as originally proposed by
Muslims who lived centuries before Charles Darwin. These Muslims, coupled
with their literal reading of the Qur?an, advocated evolution of life and
natural selection. History shows that Erasmus Darwin, grandfather of Charles
Darwin, influenced the latter to study the nature and the evolution of life.
The older Darwin learned about the evolution of life from books written by
Muslim philosophers and scholars who preceded him by centuries. The young
Darwin then collected evidence to support the theory of evolution. In
Creation AND/OR Evolution, Shanavas describes an Islamic theory of creation
that is not incompatible with evolution. He accomplishes this by weaving
together insights from modern science, the Qur?an, and pre-Renaissance
Muslim history. He proposes that evolution is an intelligent design created
by a higher power to manifest His omniscience, supremacy, and grace in a
universe constructed with creatures with limited free will, rendering his
work an important contribution to the ongoing debate between creationism and
evolution.Creation AND/OR Evolution An Islamic Perspective. By T.O.Shanavas
