Over the past two
weeks or so we have been inundated with complaints, concerns and questions
concerning science, evolution and revelation. Due to their nature and frequency
we have decided to write an article entitled "Have We Misunderstood
Evolution? Revelation, Science and Certainty". This article, which is
almost complete, will be sent out via an iERA
press release. We hope and pray that this work will provide you with the
essential intellectual tools to answer the key questions and remove the doubts
concerning science, evolution and revelation. Some of the questions we will be
addressing include: Does science have a right to claim certainty? Can Divine
revelation supersede scientific conclusions? Is evolution a problem for someone
who believes in Divine revelation? What are the limitations of the scientific
method? What are the key problems in the philosophy of science? Does the
scientific consensus on an issue equate to truth? Watch this space.
On his Facebook page he announces that iERA will soon bring out another pamphlet, this time about
"Have We Misunderstood Evolution? Revelation, Science and Certainty" http://www.facebook.com/HamzaAndreasTzortzis
In the past I have shown on multiple occasions that neither Hamza, nor anyone at iERA has any idea what science is, let alone how evolution works. But I predict we will hear about "doubts" within the scientific community and how Christians have found reasons to doubt the scientific description - while at the same time pointing out that Islam is much more advanced than Christianity, without the baggage of all the Galileo's and other blunders which were committed by the Christian church.
Then we will hear a lot about how Islam actually demands Muslims to go and learn, to question and to demand proof. Without anyone actually doing so.
We will have endless paragraphs on how the Koran describes the creation of Adam and where it says in what level of detail. Never describing the process, just the words used in the Koran.
But all this is totally irrelevant. What we will hear very little about is how all mankind is supposed to have been subjected to a process where every human originates from just one couple. That would be relevant. Instead, we will be told that there is a difference between micro- and macro-evolution - without properly defining either of course and how evolution is just a theory. We will be told that Adam was shaped from dust and how all the hadiths, the fairy-tales some humans dreamt up, all substantiate this claim. And so what? Will we hear about biology taking a female and shaping the male from the female in the real world? Will we learn about vestigial organs or the un-intelligent features in our bodies? What about birth defects?
What these simpletons don't get is the fact that evolution carries on happening whether the human description in the form of the "Theory of Evolution" is correct or not.
But I am relatively sure we will be told how all mankind has benefited from Islam and the Golden Age of Arabs, which is wrongly relabelled Islamic Golden Age. We will hear how the Koran has stood the test of time and how science continuously changes. And, as if we didn't already know, Islam, as opposed to Christianity, will be shown to be open-minded and totally in line with modern concepts of cosmology or cosmogony. We will be told that science requires religion and the claimed morality. We will be told that science has limitations and these, I expect, will be hilarious as usual. Science will probably be branded as the problem child bringing uncertainty and destruction and Islam is the peace-maker and shiny beacon in the confusing world of today, there to guide all lost sheep and non-thinkers into a mass of other non-thinkers.
Because evolution has produced humans over the last 6 million years and from single cell organisms over the last 4 billion years. iERA will accept everything as fine and groovy - until it comes to humans. That's when ancient superstition needs to take over and Muslims are required to wave bye-bye to reality. But, as we can see on Hamza's Facebook page, they welcome this.
