Peace be upon you, dear audience.
Some people use verses from the Quran to support the idea of human evolution from lower beings. Is their argument correct?
Firstly, has empirical, observational science (science) proven that humans evolved from lower beings? We answered this question in detail in the episode "Origin of Man."
Alright, is the study of human origins even within the scope of science? We clarified that the origin of man is a metaphysical matter not subject to observation or experimentation, and thus it is outside the scope of science. So, how do we know the origin of man? We clarified that matters of this metaphysical nature can only be known through scientific, narrative evidence.
Today's episode is based on these concepts that we have proven. Those who have objections to these concepts should refer to the mentioned episodes. Today's episode is also for believers that the Quran is from Allah.
First, dear audience, it is essential that we free ourselves from the pressure of trying to reconcile the verses with the idea of human evolution, for which there is no scientific evidence. Let us look at the texts of revelation with a liberated gaze so that we may understand them correctly, unaffected by preconceived notions.
Indeed, the root of the deviation of many Muslims, ancient and modern, in dealing with the Quran is that they are entrenched in their minds with false illusions and preconceived notions, then they go on to conform the texts of the Quran to these notions, leading them to distort the meanings of the Quran, which is a distortion of the word from its place. And when Allah, the Most High, informed us about the news of the People of the Book that they distort the word from its place and forgot a portion of what they were reminded of, He informed us about their news so that we may beware of doing as they did.
And once again, we say, dear audience: Is Allah capable of developing man from lower beings? Yes, this is possible in the power of Allah, the Most High, who is not incapable of anything. But our question now is: What did the revelation inform us of? That is, what is the scientific, narrative evidence about the origin of man?
And in contrast, we will see the characteristics of the method of "Muslims of Evolution" in dealing with the Quran with preconceived notions, then distorting the meanings of the clear verses, completely ignoring the authentic hadiths mentioned in the subject, and severing the verses or even parts of them from their context, whether they felt it or not.
Firstly, there are those from the Arab drawers who take the myth as it is, saying that creatures evolve through random changes, blind selection, and the sum of coincidences without the intention of a Creator, and they see them stumbling, but with directed evolution that Allah evolved creatures from one to another.
Alright, let's review the verses they use as evidence.
Firstly, the verse most often cited to support the principle of evolution in general is the saying of Allah the Almighty: "Say, 'Roam the earth and see how creation began'" [Al-Ankabut: 20]. They say: What could be clearer than that? Allah commands us to look at how creation began, meaning how life started on this planet, and the theory of evolution is the subject of that.
Wait a minute! Does this verse prove the validity of directed or undirected evolution? No, it does not. Then why do you cite it? Because it indicates that it is possible to know the origin of humans and creatures by roaming the earth and using science. Is this the meaning it indicates in its context? If this is not its meaning, then what is its meaning?
Ah, let's see the context of the verse. The verse is from Surah Al-Ankabut, and its context is the establishment of the argument against those who deny resurrection after death that Allah, who begins creation in a continuous and renewed manner, is able to bring them back to life after their death for the reckoning on the Day of Judgment.
Listen to the context of the verse. Allah the Almighty said: "And if you deny, then nations before you have indeed denied. And the Messenger is only responsible for clear conveyance. Do they not see how Allah begins creation, then He repeats it? Indeed, that is easy for Allah. Say, 'Roam the earth and see how creation began, then Allah brings forth the next creation. Indeed, Allah is over all things competent. He punishes whom He wills and has mercy upon whom He wills, and to Him you will be returned'" [Al-Ankabut: 18-21].
"And if you deny, then nations before you have indeed denied" [Al-Ankabut: 18]. If you deny resurrection and reckoning, then other nations before you have indeed denied. "And the Messenger is only responsible for clear conveyance. Do they not see how Allah begins creation, then He repeats it" [Al-Ankabut: 18-19]. Notice! The structure of the speech is similar to the verse that follows: "then see how creation began" [Al-Ankabut: 20]. And here: "Allah begins creation" [Al-Ankabut: 19].
Does the verse "Do they not see how Allah begins creation" [Al-Ankabut: 19] mean how Allah creates creatures from a common origin through directed evolution? This meaning has no relation to the context. Rather, do they not see how Allah creates creatures from nothing, meaning after they were non-existent, humans, plants, and animals, He brings them into existence after they were not. And it means His saying: the repetition of creatures is easier than their creation the first time. Therefore, He said here: "Indeed, that is easy for Allah" [Al-Ankabut: 19].
However, humans rarely learn from the creatures they are accustomed to around them because they are familiar with them, and their senses have been working since childhood before their thinking and contemplation matured. They have become accustomed to these sights and needed renewal to renew their contemplation, thinking, and learning. How does this renewal happen? "Say, 'Roam the earth and see how creation began'" [Al-Ankabut: 20]. By roaming the earth, humans see other creatures, they see animals, plants, mountains, rivers, and sights they are not accustomed to, which indicate the greatness of the Creator and His power to resurrect. And in the second: "then see how creation began" [Al-Ankabut: 20] because in your country and among your family, you see children being born and growing over the years, you see a plant sprouting and growing little by little. But when you roam the earth, you are not settled to witness these stages, but you see creatures that Allah began before.
Now let's read the verse in its context to see the consistency of the meaning with what we mentioned. The last verse 17 of Surah Al-Ankabut: "To Him you will be returned" [Al-Ankabut: 17]. After that: "And if you deny, then nations before you have indeed denied. And the Messenger is only responsible for clear conveyance. Do they not see how Allah begins creation, then He repeats it? Indeed, that is easy for Allah. Say, 'Roam the earth and see how creation began, then Allah brings forth the next creation. Indeed, Allah is over all things competent. He punishes whom He wills and has mercy upon whom He wills, and to Him you will be returned" [Al-Ankabut: 18-21].
The question now: Is this meaning clear? Obvious? Consistent? Convincing? Is this the meaning understood by the Arabs throughout the centuries? They did not find the verse difficult. And to note, this is the summary of the interpretations of the interpreters of this verse: Al-Tabari, Al-Qurtubi, Ibn Kathir, Al-Baghawi, and from the later ones, As-Sa'di, Ibn Ashur, and others who came after Darwin and were not influenced by his illusions and did not take them as principles to reinterpret the Quran based on them.
Did any of the wise and intelligent Muslim scholars over the fourteen centuries understand that the verse indicates the necessity of researching the first origin of creatures in the first time that is hidden from us and outside the scope of roaming, looking, and contemplation, then building hypotheses and speculations that cannot be proven whether the creatures are from a common origin or not? Is this meaning the one that suits the proof of a certain matter that Allah wants to plant in the hearts that He is able to resurrect after death? Or is it a vague, convoluted, and controversial meaning that the Quran shies away from, especially in such a context?
This verse is in the context of arguing with the disbelievers based on an obvious matter that humans perceive by roaming and contemplating the earth, even if they are inactive and do not learn from what they see in their environment. "Say, 'Roam the earth and see how creation began'" [Al-Ankabut: 20] means that as soon as you roam and look, you will obtain this knowledge, certain facts, not Darwinian theories, whether Islamized or not.
Then ask yourself: The verse contains a command from Allah: "Say, 'Roam the earth and see'" [Al-Ankabut: 20]. Did the Muslims respond to this command and roam the earth to see how Allah began creation? The companions to whom the verse was revealed, "And those whom Allah has made their faith a criterion, and they said to them, 'If you believe in what we have believed, then you have been guided'" [Al-Baqarah: 137]. And after them, generations of Muslims over thirteen centuries before Darwin, did they understand the verse and respond by roaming the earth to see how Allah began creation? Or did the entire nation not respond to this divine command, nor did they understand it at all until Darwin came and explained to them how to roam and look and explained to them the meaning of how Allah began creation?
Let us leave the past and focus on the present. What does it matter to me to know the origin of man? Allah, the Most High, does not repeat the story of Adam in seven places in the Quran, in addition to mentioning his name twenty-five times, except for a great matter. For the creation of Adam is one of the great truths that Allah wanted to remove the ambiguity from in a decisive and certain manner in His Book, beginning and affirmation in the Sunnah of His Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.
The story of Adam answers one of the greatest existential questions: Who am I? And what is the origin of the humans to whom I belong? Allah, the Most High, does not leave it in a state of uncertainty. The story of Adam's creation tells us about the origin of man, the nature of man, and the purpose of man—a great and sublime matter. Allah says about him: "Say, [O Muhammad], 'It is a great news * At which you turn away. * I had no knowledge of the exalted assembly when they were disputing.'" [Surah Sad: 67-69].
The story of Adam's creation is related to the great unseen realities: Allah, the angels, the jinn, Paradise, Hell, the soul, the origin of life, and the purpose of life. It is closely connected to them, and these are the unseen realities that atheism denies, relying on Darwinism.
You may ask, what does the origin of man matter to us when we are suffering politically and economically and enduring injustice from the criminals of the earth? I say to you: It is in the interest of the criminals of the earth that people believe they are nothing but an animal form that appeared by a series of coincidences, so that you look at yourself as an animal that came in vain. And nothing is easier to humiliate than one who looks at himself with such a view. While Allah, the Most High, informs you of the origin of your father Adam so that you know that you are honored, "And certainly We have honored the children of Adam" [Surah Al-Isra: 70], that you were sent for a great mission, "Indeed, I am going to place upon the earth a successor" [Surah Al-Baqarah: 30]. So do not submit to anyone except Him, the Most High. "We said, 'Go down from it, all of you, so if there should come to you from Me guidance - then whoever follows My guidance will not go astray [i.e., will not be lost] nor will they be wretched." [Surah Al-Baqarah: 38].
Moreover, the matter goes beyond the origin of man to the entire Quran. If the issue of the creation of Adam, which is a settled and established matter, is subject to interpretation or even distortion of meaning based on false scientific theories, then what prevents the entire Quran from being symbols with fluid meanings? Distorting the meaning of the verses of the creation of Adam opens the door to distorting the meaning of the verses of realities and the verses of legislation together, and there will no longer be any meaning to describing the Quran as the clear book, nor to the saying of Allah, the Most High: "And We have sent down to you the Book as clarification for all things and as guidance and mercy and good tidings for the Muslims." [Surah An-Nahl: 89].
Indeed, the matter has reached the point where some attempts to reconcile Darwinism with the Quran have led to the claim that Adam is not the father of all current humans, but rather a race among them. Consequently, you can imagine how the verses beginning with "O children of Adam" can be seen as an address to a part of humanity, to a certain race, while the others are not addressed by them. From what has been mentioned, you understand why the distortion of the meaning of the verses of the creation of Adam based on the myth of evolution is a threat to the loss of the sanctity of revelation in the hearts of some of the Muslim youth. While the Arab Darwinians say a statement before them: "We only intended good and success." [Surah An-Nisa: 62].
Come, let us first see what is clear in the matter of the creation of Adam, peace be upon him, then we will discuss the interpretation of Muslim evolutionists for the verses they rely on. Is the special creation of Adam a clear and decisive matter? And by special creation, we mean the creation that is distinct and separate from other creatures.
Let us recite some verses that put you in the atmosphere of this great event, then stop and contemplate. See, if you believe in the Quran, is this special creation a matter that can be ambiguous, confusing, obscure, and symbolic? Or is it clear, decisive, and certain? Is the appearance of Adam a biological event that occurred through material causes? Or is it an extraordinary event outside the usual causes, surrounded by the world of the unseen with its angels, jinn, and the speech of Allah to Adam and His test for him?
Allah, the Most High, says: **"And [mention] when We said to the angels, 'Prostrate to Adam,' and they prostrated except for Iblees. He was of the jinn and disobeyed the command of his Lord. Then will you take him and his descendants as protectors rather than Me while they are to you an enemy? Wretched is the evil exchange for the wrongdoers. And [mention] when We said to Adam, 'O Adam, dwell, you and your wife, in Paradise and eat from wherever you will but do not approach this tree, lest you be among the wrongdoers.' But Satan caused them to slip out of it and got them out of that [condition] in which they had been. And We said, 'Go down, some of you to others as enemies, and for you on the earth is a place of settlement and enjoyment for a time.'" [Surah Al-Baqarah: 34-36].
"And [mention] when your Lord said to the angels, 'Indeed, I am going to create a human being from clay. So when I have proportioned him and breathed into him of My [creative] soul, then fall to him in prostration.'" [Surah Sad: 71-72].
"And [mention] when your Lord said to the angels, 'Indeed, I am going to create a human being from clay, from an altered black mud. So when I have proportioned him and breathed into him of My [creative] soul, then fall to him in prostration.' So the angels prostrated - all of them entirely. Except for Iblees; he was of the jinn and departed from the command of his Lord. Then will you take him and his descendants as protectors rather than Me while they are to you an enemy? Wretched is the evil exchange for the wrongdoers." [Surah Al-Hijr: 28-31].
First, Allah details the stages through which the creation of man passed: the soil, the clay, the clay from the black mud, to the body into which the soul was breathed.
What are you doing with these verses, O Muslims of human evolution? How do you reconcile them with Darwin's illusions? You will find among them those who say: The meaning of these verses is that Allah created the first being or the first cell from which beings evolved, and then evolution took over and produced all living creatures, including humans, over millions or hundreds of millions of years.
According to their statement, it is as if Allah detailed the early stages of creating the being from which humans would come, and did not mention the many subsequent stages nor did He refer to them in the Quran even once. Look at the forced interpretation when you impose on us the scenarios of the mythologists and inject them into the verses: "And [mention] when your Lord said to the angels, 'Indeed, I am creating a human from clay, from an altered black mud.' [Al-Hijr: 28] passing through transitional beings and semi-animal creatures over millions of years "Then when I have proportioned him and breathed into him of My spirit, then fall to him in prostration." [Al-Hijr: 29].
When Allah the Almighty says, "I have proportioned him," meaning I have proportioned this human, and "I have breathed into him," meaning into this human. But the mythologists add to the verses: I have proportioned an animal ancestor of humans and breathed into him of My spirit!
What are you doing, O mythologists, with the clear, correct, and confirmed hadiths that explain the meaning of the verses? Such as the hadith in Sahih Muslim, Musnad Ahmad, Sahih Ibn Hibban, Musnad Al-Tayalisi, and others from Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: "When Allah fashioned Adam in Paradise, He left him as Allah willed to leave him, and made Iblis circle around him, looking at him. When he saw him hollow, he knew that he was a creation that could not control himself."
Secondly: If the Quran was speaking in these verses about the creation of the first being or the first cell from which humans and other creatures descended, the Quran would have clarified that these are the stages of the creation of all living creatures, not just Adam. And it would have been necessary for the Quran to say: I am the Creator of all creation from clay, not a human from clay.
Thirdly: The verses indicate a special honor in the creation of Adam. Allah the Almighty said in Surah Sad: "He said, 'O Iblees, what prevented you from prostrating to that which I created with My two hands? Were you arrogant or were you among the exalted?'" [Sad: 75]. "That which I created with My hands." If the meaning was that He created the first being with His hands and then evolution took over and produced all living creatures, including humans, then the meaning is that all living creatures on Earth are created by the hands of Allah. Therefore, the ants, pigs, and rats share in this honor. And since the creation of Adam by the hands of Allah is a distinction, Iblees would have said: O my Lord, what is the distinction in creating Adam with Your hands when all creatures share in that?
Fourthly: Allah the Almighty says: "Indeed, the example of Jesus to Allah is like that of Adam. He created him from dust; then He said to him, 'Be,' and he was." [Aali Imran: 59]. This verse came in the context of responding to the Christians who claimed that the coming of Jesus without a father is evidence that he is the son of Allah. So Allah showed them that Adam came without a father or mother, and yet they do not say that Adam is the son of Allah. So Jesus is like Adam in that both were created miraculously. "Indeed, the example of Jesus to Allah is like that of Adam." [Aali Imran: 59]. And the creation of Adam was more miraculous and further from human habit, for Allah created him from dust and then said to him, "Be," and he was.
The evolutionists say: No, no, He created him from dust refers to Jesus, and the meaning is that Jesus is like Adam in that both are from dust. And since we know that Jesus was born of a mother, the meaning of the verse is that their animal ancestors are the ones created from dust. We say: With this incorrect understanding, there is no argument in the verse against the Christians, because its meaning becomes: Indeed, the example of Jesus to Allah is like that of Adam whom Allah created from two human-like parents, and all of them are originally from dust. And this information does not contain a logical argument that binds the opponents who deified Jesus for his lack of a father. This is an example of the evolutionists severing the verses from their context. The verses that bind the Christians with a logical argument made them as if they are verses speaking about the origin of the human race in a way that has nothing to do with the topic of Surah Aali Imran or this part of it.
Fifthly: Allah the Almighty says: "O mankind, fear your Lord who created you from a single soul and created from it its mate." [An-Nisa: 1]. "And created from it its mate." [An-Nisa: 1] How from it? The Prophet, peace be upon him, said in the hadith narrated by Al-Bukhari and Muslim: "The woman was created from a rib." They say: Do you believe that Eve was created from a rib? Is this scientific talk? Yes, we explain that the first appearance of humans must be outside of what is customary for people. Reproduction through conventional means cannot be traced back to infinity. And all attempts to explain the appearance of the first man and the first woman with materialistic interpretations that exclude the Creator will lead us to the fallacies of pseudoscience. So do not be surprised at Allah's ability to bring forth Adam's wife from his rib or whatever He wills, for this is something that is only known by the narrative scientific evidence.
Therefore, the Muslims of human evolution will not only clash with the texts indicating the special creation of Adam but also with the creation of his wife from him. All of the above, dear ones, indicates conclusively that Allah created Adam, the father of humans, and his wife, creating them in a special way, and that humans did not come as a result of evolution from previous animal species.
You will find someone who says: Do you mean that you imagine Allah shaped Adam and breathed into him the spirit, and he became a human? What is objectionable about the matter? Perhaps Allah the Almighty has given us an example of faith in that in one of the miracles of Jesus, peace be upon him, when He said: "Indeed, I create for you from clay [birds] in the form of birds, then I breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by the permission of Allah." [Aali Imran: 49]. Did Jesus breathe into the clay and it turned into transitional creatures over millions of years before it became a bird before his people? This is the decisive story of the creation of humans.
Now, let us discuss what the Muslims of human evolution derive from lower creatures.
First, they said when Allah the Most High informed the angels that He was going to place a vicegerent on earth, they said: "Will You place therein one who will cause corruption therein and shed blood, while we glorify You with praise and sanctify You?" [Al-Baqarah: 30]. The Muslim evolutionists said: How did the angels know that humans, who had not been created yet, would cause corruption on earth and shed blood? Therefore, the angels must have seen the ancestors from whom humans evolved doing that on earth, and based on that, the angels said what they said.
No way, let's divide the speech into two halves. You assumed that the angels had no way of knowing that except by seeing those who had corrupted the earth before, then you assumed that humans must have been born from these previous corrupters. And both assumptions have no evidence. Regardless of how the angels knew, did Allah the Most High place in their hearts knowledge of what would be of humans without a prior example? Or did the angels see the deeds of the jinn? Or were there previous creatures corrupting the earth already? What is your evidence that these creatures, if they existed, who corrupted and shed blood, were the ancestors of humans? And what is your evidence that they were still alive and not destroyed when Allah informed the angels that He was going to place a vicegerent on earth?
Then came transitional stages from semi-human creatures that reproduced through the disdained water, then Allah chose from them the creature whom He fashioned and breathed into him from His spirit, and thus created Adam. And the verses arrange the stages as we mentioned. So we say: Your problem is that you made all these verses speaking about the first human, while the verses are speaking about the human species. The creation of humans began from clay, so the creation of the human species began from Adam, whom Allah created from clay as the clear verses indicate. Then He made his offspring from a lineage of disdained water, humans reproduced after Adam from the disdained water (sperm). Then He fashioned him and breathed into him from His spirit, He fashioned every human in his mother's womb and breathed into him from His spirit, as He said in another verse: "O mankind, what has deceived you concerning your Lord, the Generous, Who created you and proportioned you and balanced you?" [Al-Infitar: 6-7].
As for your strange interpretation, it leads to confusion in pronouns. "He began the creation of man from clay, then made his offspring." Whom does this "offspring" refer to? According to your speech, it refers to animals and semi-humans, who are not mentioned in the previous verses nor is their existence understood from the context. "Then He fashioned him" also, according to your speech, the pronoun refers to semi-humans who were before humans. It is forced and an introduction of strange meanings contrary to the rules of language. All of this is to advocate for an idea that has no evidence, but rather contradicts the clear and decisive evidence from the Quran. For these verses also indicate the special creation of humans, not their evolution from lower creatures.
Thirdly, Allah the Most High said: "And your Lord is the Free Bestower. If He wills, He can destroy you and appoint in your stead whom He wills, as He brought you forth from the offspring of other people." [Al-An'am: 133]. The Muslim evolutionists said: These verses indicate that we humans were brought forth from the offspring of other people who are not humans. And this is truly a strange argument.
The verse is a threat to the polytheists that He is Able to destroy them and bring forth people who are not like them in obstinacy and disobedience. The world will not last for them as it did not last for their fathers, for Allah created them from the offspring of their ancestors, other people. This is the context of the verses, and it is not related to explaining the origin of the entire human race as they claim.
And Imam Al-Tabari mentioned another meaning that "from" in the verse means succession, as it is said in speech: I gave you from your money a garment, meaning instead of the dinar a garment. So the meaning of the verse becomes: As He brought you forth, O you who are addressed, instead of or in place of others who are the offspring of people who perished before you. For it was the way of Allah the Most High to destroy the nations who denied except the offspring of those who believed until corruption spread among them over the centuries, and they were destroyed and civilizations arose and people remained until Allah willed before His decrees befell them. What is the relation of all this to the evolution of humans from lower creatures?
Fourthly, they said: Allah's saying: "Indeed, Allah chose Adam and Noah and the family of Abraham and the family of Imran above all the worlds." [Al-Imran: 33]. They said: The choosing is the selection, and Allah does not choose Adam except from among his peers who are the semi-humans who were before him.
We say: Firstly, there is nothing in the language that necessitates that the choosing must be from the same species. Allah chose Adam over the angels and the jinn by creating him with His hands and teaching him all the names and the prostration of the angels to him. And even among humans, Adam was indeed chosen with prophethood over his children who were in his lifetime and over those who came after him from humans, as He chose those mentioned after him in the verse. For Allah chose Noah and the family of Abraham and the family of Imran over the worlds from those who were before them and in their time and after them.
Fifthly, Allah's saying: "What prevents you from hoping for Allah's honor, and He has created you in stages?" [Nuh: 13-14]. Some said: These stages are the transitional stages in evolution. And this argument is more like comedy, but it is not funny, rather it is offensive for its handling of the Book of Allah, the Most High. It is sheer ignorance to come and interpret a Quranic term with a newly coined term that did not exist at the time of the revelation of the Quran. Imagine if a fool said: The Quran mentioned satellite dishes! How is that? Did you not see Allah's saying: "You will ride one stage upon another." [Al-Inshiqaq: 19]!
The stages are as the Arabs understood them throughout the centuries, the stages of creating humans, 13 13. And notice that they are forced to contradict all the rules, cutting the verse from its context, not interpreting it with other verses on the subject, not answering the verses that refute their claims, and of course, they do not pay attention to the established Sunnah. All of this for what? For a false science whose falsity we have proven, to agree with the Western scientific community, or more accurately, the dominant voice within it, which tries to explain the universe and life with a materialistic explanation while introducing stupid supernatural elements to avoid acknowledging the true supernatural.
You, O Muslim evolutionists, are evading the problem, for you will collide with this scientific community at some stage. Even if you Islamize the idea of human evolution and say that humans evolved from the first creature or the first cell by the will of the Creator, the Western scientific community explains this first cell with false scientific theories, such as their claim that cosmic rays struck organic matter in the ocean and produced a strand of nucleic acid, then by a series of coincidences, a cell emerged with all its ingenuity, harmony, integration, and complexity. They call these atheistic coincidences and stupid supernatural elements scientific explanations. And you fall into what you tried to escape?
We do not need to imitate them or agree with them, for they have a fundamental flaw that led them to these explanations, which is limiting science to the physical sciences and disabling the indication of the physical sciences by the intellect to the existence of the Creator, which forced them to stupid supernatural elements that they attributed to science, and science is innocent of them. For their supernatural elements are not observational, nor experimental, nor intellectual, nor innate, but the truth of materialism is that it is a veil for a stubborn, blind atheistic creed, as we explained in the episode of the abducted.
All this discussion, my brothers, in today's episode, could have been covered by the previous episodes, in which we proved that the theory of evolution is a myth. After proving the invalidity of the myth of evolution, the question arises: Well, why don't we try to reconcile it with our religion? Equivalent to asking: Why don't we try to Islamize the myth? Why don't we try to reconcile the words of Allah the Almighty with the false science myths? A question that answers itself. And what we presented in today's discussion is only an addition to the argument and an explanation of the evidence.
If you understood what has been mentioned, you would know the amount of misconceptions in some people's saying: "And blind selection without intention or will from an All-Knowing, All-Powerful doer, as is the description of the myth of evolution among its proponents." Your saying: "If this is proven in the future" is equivalent to saying: "If it is proven in the future that the impossible is possible and what the sound mind rules out as impossible happens," then there would be no mind, no knowledge, no proof.
As for if you mean by evolution merely the idea of the initial emergence of creatures from a common origin, your saying: "If the theory of evolution is proven in the future" contradicts the nature of observational and experimental science and contradicts one of the basics of the philosophy of science. What was before human history does not fall under perception or experimentation, so there is no evidence for it except from the reports of sources that evidence has indicated their truthfulness. As for observational and experimental science, it will not prove to you in the present or the future anything outside the scope of its research, and you would be using the wrong tool of inference.
As for their saying: "It would then be possible to reinterpret the verses of the Quran to suit them" indicates that the verses related to the origin of man are ambiguous in meaning and malleable. And we have seen that from the wisdom of Allah the Almighty that He made them clear, evident, detailed with what prevents confusion and hesitation, so their meanings are not distorted to false science myths.
We ask Allah to guide us to what He loves and is pleased with, and peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah.
