Undoubtedly, the recent awarding of the Nobel Prize in Biological Evolution twice \u2013 within three years \u2013 has settled the issue of considering the principle of evolution a scientific fact and closed the door on the opposing arguments raised by the fundamentalist creationists who oppose science without knowledge.<\/p>\n
Although paleontology has yielded transitional fossils between all groups of living and extinct organisms, to the point that the concept of missing links has disappeared, the conclusive evidence provided by molecular biology has rendered unnecessary the other conclusive evidence provided by other evolutionary sciences.<\/p>\n
It is a striking paradox that material science has presented human thought with three brilliant theories (quantum mechanics, chaos theory, and information theory) that have eliminated the concept of true randomness\/chance, as well as the concept of absolute determinism, and have proven that the origin and management of the affairs of the universe, life, and humanity require a Creator of absolute knowledge, wisdom, and power. Thus, material science has driven the final nail into the coffin of materialist philosophy and its legitimate offspring, atheism. It is a mistake to consider the divine Creator and the laws of nature (the laws and forces of nature) as \u201cincompatible alternatives.\u201d My Lord, the Almighty, has clarified in the Holy Quran that He exercises His creative and sustenance through the laws of nature. He has affirmed this approach and its permanence by saying: \u201cYou will never find in the way of Allah any change, nor will you find in the way of Allah any alteration\u201d [Fatir: 43].<\/p>\n
In light of the findings of modern science, there is no longer any escaping the acknowledgment of \u201cdivine evolution\/guided evolution,\u201d which attributes creation to my Lord, the Almighty, and removes the apparent contradiction between science and religion. This is the subject of the book before you, the final volume of the Modern Biology trilogy, which presents the author\u2019s final perspective on the issue of biological evolution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
This book discusses the relationship between the origin of life and living beings, between the faith-based interpretation of creation and the materialist conceptions that attribute it to chance and evolution, with a scientific and intellectual presentation of the opposing arguments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":29511,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_cat":[861,833,834],"product_tag":[1359,1041,1357,1343],"class_list":["post-29513","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-natural-sciences","product_cat-religions","product_cat-philosophy","product_tag-philosophy","product_tag-piety","product_tag-religions","product_tag-thought","pa_book-author-amr-sharif","first","onbackorder","sale","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/awraqonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/29513","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/awraqonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/awraqonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/awraqonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29513"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/awraqonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29511"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/awraqonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29513"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/awraqonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=29513"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/awraqonline.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=29513"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
