[0:01][Music] we all have a duty towards the preservation and the propagation

[0:11]of the message of imam hussein indeed one of the best ways

[0:16]to work towards the reappearance of imam al-mahdiyah is through promoting the

[0:24]values of carmella imam hussain media group is the only shia television

[0:29]network that broadcast globally in five different languages arabic farsi turkish or

[0:35]do and english we are appealing to the lovers of worldwide to

[0:40]support the channel such that it may continue its global operations the

[0:44]hussain media group is seeking 1 000 partners to pledge to a

[0:50]14 pound contribution per month this will allow the channel to sustain

[0:54]its operating costs as we continue to spread the message of imam

[1:00]alejandra in multiple languages across the globe you be a part of

[1:05]this great legacy and donate today you can pledge in two ways

[1:09]www dot saying three dot tv slash donate we'll take you down

[1:16]to our donation page where you can play it monthly or you

[1:20]can call or what's up us on double zero double four seven

[1:24]nine three double nine one seven one six three i'm on fishing

[1:37]tv your gateway to karbala [Music] hey [Music] [Music] the theory of

[2:41]evolution is a theory that still evokes a negative response i'm sure

[2:45]you'll all agree in religious circles in muslim circles in christian circles

[2:51]you'll find that people look at the theory of evolution with contempt

[2:58]they believe that you're questioning intelligent design and your questioning therefore god

[3:08]and revelation when you subscribe to evolutionary theory and so you find

[3:18]that certain muslim majority countries actually ban the discussion of evolution when

[3:24]i say they ban the discussion of evolution what i mean by

[3:29]that is that if you were to look in saudi arabia or

[3:32]algeria or even oman there was a period of time where the

[3:39]discussion of evolution of charles darwin and what was postulated was not

[3:46]allowed to be taught even i'm sure many of the listeners would

[3:54]agree that even when we were growing up as soon as you

[3:58]heard evolution you thought no i don't believe in this no this

[4:01]is haram we do not subscribe to evolution are you questioning god's

[4:06]creation are you saying that we evolved for example in our simple

[4:11]understanding that we evolved for example from the monkey or the ape

[4:17]and so on and so forth and so therefore when we discussed

[4:22]yesterday about religion's relationship with science we said that christianity had a

[4:32]major problem rehabilitating itself and recovering from the way it treated science

[4:41]and hence when we saw the renaissance and when we saw the

[4:49]reformation we saw a period where enlightenment was in some cases to

[4:52]be far away from what revelation was giving us the reality is

[4:57]that even if i'm going to discuss evolution whether it's evolution in

[5:02]the quran or evolution generally it's important for me to discuss it

[5:07]for a couple of reasons the first reason is because in the

[5:13]same way thermodynamics and gravity are accepted in the scientific community likewise

[5:19]evolution is accepted in the scientific community yes many muslims will turn

[5:24]around and say it's only a theory it's a theory that can

[5:27]be questioned it's a theory that can be debated whether we like

[5:30]it or we don't in the world today there are more people

[5:32]who are going to subscribe to what darwin has discussed when talking

[5:41]about the origin of species when talking about natural selection then what

[5:48]religion puts forward that's on the first level but on the second

[5:54]level there shouldn't be a problem discussing the physical world because the

[6:03]physical world to me as a muslim is a subpart of the

[6:06]whole system the physical world isn't the whole system it's a subpart

[6:15]of the whole system there are many other aspects of life that

[6:24]require discussion that which we observe of the natural laws or the

[6:32]natural sciences is one part of our understanding of what this life

[6:37]is all about we unfortunately when we get scared about discussing evolution

[6:45]it's as if we're falling into the trap of those who want

[6:49]us to believe that this discussion is the be-all and end-all for

[6:55]me discussing the development of primates the discussion of the development of

[7:03]different creatures in the plant kingdom in the animal kingdom in the

[7:09]human kingdom it's a wonderful discussion why would i shy away from

[7:14]it there are certain scholars in islamic history who people allude to

[7:18]their discussions about evolution for example so it's not like there weren't

[7:27]certain discussions about the development of the human being whether you looked

[7:31]at some works which are attributed to the likes of jahil or

[7:36]tusi or mascara even all of them in one way or the

[7:42]other have sought to understand our development as human beings when you

[7:48]hear terms such as homo erectus homo sapiens understanding the development of

[7:58]different creatures as well as using archaeological evidence using fossils this is

[8:04]something wonderful because look one thing we don't ever want to fall

[8:08]into is this trap that there's a war between the evolutionists and

[8:16]the creationists because the moment a creationist says i agree with the

[8:21]theory of evolution kill him burn him the moment someone who believes

[8:29]that the theory of evolution says listen there's a possibility of intelligent

[8:33]design here the likes of anthony flew who were avid atheists their

[8:41]whole life and then become deists right at the end where they

[8:47]recognize that you know what the aristotelian god may have some truth

[8:52]there needs to be an intelligent designer who's powerful this structure that

[8:56]we see in front of us too complex there may be randoms

[9:00]in this world but not enough for me to deny that there

[9:02]must have been an intelligent designer what we can never fall into

[9:10]is this trap that i'm purely a creationist and i'm anti-evolution or

[9:16]the other side i'm purely evolution and i don't want to hear

[9:19]about creation because the reality is that our knowledge of the physical

[9:26]world is still in flux do you agree even in the world

[9:31]of science what's it mainly about they want you to continue to

[9:35]observe continue to experiment hypothesis come back and forth and give your

[9:39]arguments back and forth even our knowledge of the world there are

[9:43]certain things we know about dna there's no way that even our

[9:48]own muslim scholars in some cases 500 years ago that no many

[9:53]of them didn't know about some of the things we know about

[9:57]dna many of them may have looked at certain aspects of natural

[10:02]selection or adaptation may have thought you know what darwin and wallace

[10:08]have a point over here there's something there's something true here in

[10:12]the same way if i turn that around if you were living

[10:16]in the time of for example the holy prophet peace be upon

[10:19]him as family and someone bought you an iphone you'd look at

[10:25]that as a miracle whereas today you look at it as the

[10:27]development of science if you were living in the time of the

[10:32]holy prophet peace be upon him and his family and at that

[10:34]time someone was showing you for example this idea that there one

[10:37]day will be a machine with wings that'll take you up above

[10:41]the seventh heaven you'll be like that's absurd but now we fly

[10:43]on them or we used to pre-call it so now we don't

[10:47]want to fall in this trap where we give conclusions about the

[10:52]natural world rather we want to enjoy the way darwin enjoyed now

[10:57]someone might call me um an apostate after i just said that

[11:01]line we should enjoy the way who enjoyed darwin how dare you

[11:10]say we should enjoy the way darwin enjoyed darwin loves to travel

[11:15]darwin loves to observe he does in reality what the quran wants

[11:23]him to do because the quran itself if you look for example

[11:28]surah 29 verse 20 of the quran my dear viewers at home

[11:32]today i'm going to make you move from one side of the

[11:35]quran to the other and i want a cut or a commission

[11:38]of your foreign surah 29 of the quran verse number 20 darwin

[11:44]when he travels to south america aboard hms beagle when he travels

[11:50]to south america and he travels to australia he's traveling to observe

[12:00]life to observe different forms of life do we agree because we

[12:07]have to admit there is a close evolutionary relationship amongst all primates

[12:13]we agree with those who espouse randomness one thing is that there

[12:24]is a close relationship between all primates darwin in surah 29 verse

[12:35]20 when the quran says travel in the earth and see how

[12:43]creation was originated what's he doing because what's the lead up to

[12:51]his theory darwin doesn't just wake up one day and have a

[12:56]theory what's the lead up to his theory about how we came

[13:00]about or how we evolved or how we developed or how we

[13:08]integrated or how we adapt adapted darwin goes to south america and

[13:12]goes to australia he looks at all these different forms of plants

[13:15]and animals and it's so wonderful this is intriguing those who go

[13:19]deep sea diving 60 feet below they're seeing all these different forms

[13:23]of animals different creations of god creations that you know of creatures

[13:27]that you don't and he becomes intrigued by this why because what

[13:32]he looks at he sees finches he sees beaks of different shapes

[13:38]he begins to ask a question about these animals because the birds

[13:44]in this world are wonderful the birds are beautiful wherever you travel

[13:48]on the earth and you come across a new bird and you're

[13:50]looking at that bird and you're thinking to yourself wow some of

[13:54]us may think that this has come purely from intelligent design others

[13:59]might think it's randomness but darwin begins to look and he begins

[14:04]to ask the question these are all finches but they look different

[14:07]to each other how have they adapted to their environment and how

[14:14]do they survive because there must be something about how we've survived

[14:21]how if animals survived all this time there are certain aspects of

[14:28]what then is developed that i'm sure you'll all agree with me

[14:32]on species that are now exist are now extinct that existed a

[14:41]long time ago do we all agree on that so does islam

[14:44]believe in dinosaurs listen if fossils are showing me then why should

[14:48]i reject does islam believe in dinosaurs yes does evolution say that

[14:57]there are species that are now extinct that lived a long time

[15:02]ago yes does evolution say that the age of this earth spans

[15:05]billions of years yes do we agree with that as muslims yes

[15:08]i showed yesterday nabi adam father of this generation doesn't mean that

[15:14]there weren't generations before him do we also agree to an incredible

[15:20]diversity in life forms this is darwin there's an incredible diversity in

[15:27]life forms or there isn't also similarity across these species so diversity

[15:37]and similarity do we all agree there's only certain areas that we

[15:45]may differ but where we agree on with darwin is unless you

[15:48]travel on this earth and unless you observe go to solar 67

[15:52]verse number three of the quran surah 67 verse number three many

[15:57]of you at home would have read this particular surah and verse

[16:00]you go to suratul mulk and when you go to surah allah

[16:04]subhanahu wa ta'ala wants you to be a scientist being a scientist

[16:09]is simply you studying the laws of the universe the constants you're

[16:14]not doing anything blasphemous he created the seven heavenlies above lays you

[16:26]will not see in the creation of god any defect or incringuity

[16:30]but the main thing is what does god want us to do

[16:34]to look at his creation do you agree no look again don't

[16:40]just look once don't just look and say yes it exists don't

[16:43]just look and start giving theories look again think back ask yourself

[16:48]how does all this come about someone says but do you know

[16:53]the problem with you religious people yes your quran we admit it

[16:56]says travel on the earth be like darwin that we agree with

[16:59]and your quran says look like darwin looked and no don't just

[17:03]look once keep looking again bring those eyes back and have a

[17:08]look again problem with you guys is you end up using rational

[17:11]and not always using the empirical and you end up using philosophy

[17:16]alongside science firstly if you're telling me that every conclusion i reach

[17:23]has to be something that i see or i touch or i

[17:26]taste or i smell or i hear the empirical even that that

[17:29]you're telling me comes from rational sentence that sentence can that be

[17:36]disproved in a science lab that you can only use your senses

[17:39]anything outside of the senses cannot be used no so even that

[17:43]is not something that i can even examine in a lab secondly

[17:50]they're right because i will use some philosophy because this is only

[17:58]a subpart of the world i live in not the violet and

[18:02]all when i'm gonna use philosophy in relation to all this creation

[18:06]it's because i come across certain moments where observation stops when i

[18:17]come across certain moments where observation stops after that what do i

[18:23]do you observe and i observe after that you describe and i

[18:29]describe we go in a world you want to call it philosophy

[18:31]or we'll call it speculation which moment do scientists across the board

[18:38]agree on is the moment that beef that before that we can't

[18:42]use scientific apparatus to know exactly what happened what do they call

[18:49]that moment planck's moment big bang is discussed if you go to

[18:55]and i'm not going to say the quran look i don't like

[18:58]falling into the strap of the quran discusses big bang what i

[19:02]do know is that the quran gives you certain guidances on then

[19:05]you doing further research with the tools that you have after big

[19:11]bang we're able to use apparatus mathematics science and so on planck's

[19:15]moment before that we go in a world of asking what's going

[19:19]on because let's all go surah 21 my dear brother sisters people

[19:22]always ask big bang in the quran it doesn't discuss the big

[19:24]bang doesn't it it certainly discusses something that's happening and the primordial

[19:29]soup let's go to surah 21 of the quran verse number 30.

[19:34]we've all agreed that the genetic code begins cells begin to form

[19:38]they're all increa incorporated in life on earth the metabolism energy is

[19:42]formed in body organisms okay um they utilize food like sugars carbohydrates

[19:50]all of this i see occurs in what's known in a water

[19:56]basin known as the primordial soup because they'll always say to you

[20:01]do you know yes sir do you know said do you know

[20:03]do you know how did we all come about randomly you know

[20:08]this genetic code and cells begin to form there's certain reactions and

[20:14]you the human being come about that's one angle and they say

[20:24]that what happens is all this occurs in a water base and

[20:27]known as the primordial soup i want everybody at home to discuss

[20:30]this with their families the water basin known as the primordial soup

[20:35]if sometimes now you ask online if you asked online how did

[20:41]life begin you'll see online that says life originated near a deep

[20:53]sea hyperthermal vent we have a water basin we have soup we

[20:57]have a deep sea hyper thermal vent water water water water water

[21:00]okay sula 21 30.

[21:06]do those who not believe in our theory of intelligent design the

[21:21]heavens and the earth were one piece and then we opened them

[21:26]up we expanded them we claimed them asunder what do we normally

[21:30]call this the big bang people normally call the big bang i

[21:32]don't want to fall in the strap of saying the quran is

[21:35]a science book the quran and so on so forth but heavens

[21:38]and the earth were one and then the world of science before

[21:47]this moment cannot give you any more discussion you ask hawking you

[21:53]ask others planck's moment before that it's either speculation or it's philosophy

[22:02]i really don't mind because that's the limitations of science science observe

[22:08]observe observe observe then what then how do i understand the meaning

[22:14]of this whole life because this is only a subset of life

[22:16]the quran says no no hold on observe the fact that the

[22:23]heavens and the earth at one moment everything that's alive is islam

[22:44]against evolution no why should it be if evolution is telling me

[22:49]about a genetic code it's telling me about the development from a

[22:54]single cell no problem no problem and it's talking about reactions according

[22:59]in this uh occurring in this primordial soup sorry if i'm making

[23:03]you guys hungry i know if that is only about an hour

[23:07]away water basin primordial soup the quran here says we created everything

[23:16]from from what water is the source of all creatures life and

[23:24]almost all creatures what are they made up of the most water

[23:30]muslims why have you got a problem with the theory of evolution

[23:36]if it says that there are adaptations because of those finches we

[23:42]agree if it says natural selection we agree selective types of breeding

[23:46]that how do we have antibiotics and certain vaccines you're trying to

[23:48]see survival who's going to survive some people survive some don't if

[23:54]you're telling me about a water basin and a primordial soup we

[23:58]agree you know many times when muslims say uh you ask a

[24:05]muslim how were you created they always say allah said so what's

[24:08]wrong maybe our understanding of intelligence design darwin had found better than

[24:18]we have said it says the um he wants something he says

[24:28]being it will be i have no doubt because i believe in

[24:33]a god where he is beyond the dimensions of time and space

[24:37]big bang is for us before that before planck's moment we go

[24:46]to an intelligent designer that's only me but if you're telling me

[24:50]evolution is telling me that there's mutations that occur in the environment

[24:56]definitely why not if evolution is telling me that there's adaptations in

[25:00]the environment of course there are even us as human beings how

[25:04]did we survive in certain areas are there animals how do they

[25:08]survive in areas some their beaks are bigger some there you look

[25:10]at the moth at one time moths were all eaten up because

[25:13]they had different colors then when there was smog in london the

[25:15]darker the more the more it survived so even in the world

[25:21]of moths there is an adaptation to the environment there are some

[25:26]people who survive some oth don't we have people in our family

[25:33]genetically they survive others heart attack 38 41 47 yes survival of

[25:37]the fittest but there's a difference while we agree with survival of

[25:51]the fittest human a human who adapts a human who procreates a

[25:56]human who's so similar to other primates we agree primates where's the

[26:03]difference for us first and foremost is that this human is the

[26:12]most honored creation in this whole soup in the quran the human

[26:17]is honored in many ways first the spirit of the lord is

[26:23]breathed into the human that is not something we necessarily see when

[26:29]i'm discussing science but not the science need to take that leap

[26:32]no problem let science remain where science is the human when god

[26:40]says that we breathe our spirit into the human that takes you

[26:46]above being purely physical now you are soul and body and because

[26:53]of that what do you become because that first interaction of soul

[26:58]and body i mentioned yesterday chapter 7 verse 172 there is this

[27:04]discussion between god and souls do you remember that discussion i don't

[27:10]remember that discussion but the quran says there was a discussion where

[27:14]we aren't just evolved creatures bring me fossils and show me when

[27:21]i lived and show me all the laws of how i evolved

[27:22]i haven't got a problem with that but either human being according

[27:29]to islam first and foremost i'm honored because of the soul the

[27:37]lord gave me i'm not just physical there are animals who live

[27:39]in this world they can't recollect they can't appreciate history they can't

[27:45]appreciate art even language is a gift i've been given others haven't

[27:52]we used to have an african grey parrot at home casco african

[27:58]grey can speak but how much do you have to speak for

[28:05]it to speak aloe allo hello hello african grey can become shakespeare

[28:12]can become lao ju can become jibran the human being alone the

[28:23]language that they have god mentions as fundamental and differentiating with all

[28:32]other creatures famous sword 55 go quickly to surah 55 of the

[28:35]holy quran my dear brothers sisters all of you know the surah

[28:38]inside out but it reminds us that there is a difference between

[28:41]us and the other primates who i do not deny that we're

[28:45]similar to but there's certain differences which make me a human and

[28:51]which make you as crazy as a monkey sort of 55 verse

[28:56]number what verse number one read it for me please my dearest

[28:59]brother minhal read me the first few verses the merciful these translations

[29:15]i'm only using what's there i could go deeper into the original

[29:18]it's a molecule no problem in s who can write who can

[29:33]produce what the human has produced who can recollect and reflect on

[29:38]their history now do you see what i'm doing if i stick

[29:40]to science as the be-all and end-all i haven't described the human

[29:45]but if i say science is a subset let's observe let's appreciate

[29:48]let's look at the fossils then i'm open for more discussion about

[29:53]the greatness of that human being therefore how does allah talk about

[29:58]the human being in the quran surah 17 verse number 70 go

[30:02]to surah 17 verse number 17.

[30:04]if ever anyone asks you you know how does islam view the

[30:06]human being this ayah is wonderful surah 17 my dear brother sisters

[30:11]at home verse number 70 adam i don't even need to say

[30:17]anything else and we indeed have honored the children of adam i'm

[30:19]just going to stop there is there a better line that we

[30:24]have honored the children of adam further than that chapter which other

[30:31]can we refer to the human also different from other primates there's

[30:38]a primordial nature unique to them a primordial nature that recognizes the

[30:46]lord chapter 30 verse 30 go to chapter 30 verse number 30

[30:54]and you'll see this discussion in islamic thought when it comes to

[30:59]the identity of the human honored by god god's caliph on earth

[31:02]with a soul and a primordial nature that makes them different to

[31:10]the world of animals set your face upright on the right religion

[31:25]a nature caused by god in which he has made people when

[31:30]we say god creates an islam stop focusing on just design focus

[31:37]on what is the make up of that creation what's the identity

[31:46]human caliph of god rep of god on earth soul primordial nature

[31:50]ability to express like no other primate has ever been able to

[31:55]that is the human in the eyes of world even if i

[32:00]go a bit further darwinism while many discuss it biologically one of

[32:05]its problems is what is social darwinism social darwinism i'm looking at

[32:11]the idea that good and bad right and wrong are not universal

[32:16]concepts good and bad right and wrong relative not universal concepts don't

[32:21]be utilitarian right and wrong ah again in the makeup of the

[32:29]human being in the quran allah will tell us for example which

[32:33]surah if you look in and i think probably uh sora shems

[32:37]you don't have to go to my dear sisters because there's so

[32:40]many verses to come but when f by the soul of the

[32:44]human of the self of the human and the one who perfected

[32:47]it means to literally force down the throat he inspired it to

[32:58]be able to either destroy itself through doing bad or cover itself

[33:04]through doing good successful successful is the one who purifies their soul

[33:10]so for us when we're looking at darwinism there is a social

[33:15]construct which we reject as well that there's no such thing necessarily

[33:18]and this comes later on and the way colonialism happens you can

[33:21]go into an anthropological discussion on this but the main point for

[33:26]us number one the identity of the human being an interaction through

[33:30]a primordial nature with a soul expression this is a different creature

[33:34]altogether i don't mind even if you say to me that we

[33:39]all came from a single cell where did that single cell come

[33:43]from because all we're going to go back is to infinite regression

[33:48]and that's why another area that we differ with so we said

[33:52]that the theory of evolution there's many parts of it we agree

[33:57]with we said parts of survival the fittest and mutations and adaptations

[34:00]and the environment the existence of the earth and for example certain

[34:04]species being extinct and others we agree we said however it doesn't

[34:08]offer me an understanding of a moral worldview not at all because

[34:14]empirically i can't test some of these moral constructs what else is

[34:21]a problem randomness look i don't mind if you want to believe

[34:25]that all this is random i don't know you want to go

[34:29]to a mathematician like penrose or you want to go to an

[34:31]ex-atheist like flu they're going to turn around to say listen i

[34:34]know there's some random stuff but not that random for you to

[34:37]reject that there must have been a a designer yes you can

[34:40]be a deist they'll say you don't have to believe in the

[34:42]lord of muhammad and moses because einstein or anthony flew couldn't conceive

[34:48]of or accept why there's evil so the god of moses or

[34:53]the god of jesus or muhammad they may reject but they'll say

[34:55]that there is a god and that's why in the quran god

[34:59]keeps on reminding us that look at the creation you know even

[35:03]where is the verse in the quran oh god i knew i

[35:07]should have done my research on this one you know how darwin

[35:13]observed the finches and it made him think even in the quran

[35:18]god tells us look at the creation of the birds i think

[35:23]in surah 16 it's 1679 i think or 1689 try and get

[35:29]there my dear brothers and sisters surah 16 is it 79 yes

[35:35]alhamdulillah otherwise that could have gone horribly wrong in surah 16 the

[35:40]quran verse number 79 god wants you to observe creation and the

[35:43]main point is that the randomness aspect of all of us emerging

[35:48]randomly and there's no purpose that is rejected surah 16 verse 79

[35:53]do they know do they not look towards the birds these are

[36:14]signs for a people who believe i don't deny if you want

[36:18]to show me results of birds and their evolution birds and their

[36:25]survival but do not tell me that this bird was a creation

[36:29]in vain rather i am the one just look at it look

[36:32]at the poise and do you ever ask who looks after its

[36:35]journeys and who has structured it the way it's been structured if

[36:40]you look for example surah 31 verse 11 let's go 31 11.

[36:44]um in surah 31 verse number 11 you've got this wonderful discussion

[36:49]here again where allah wants us to reflect on this creation in

[36:57]surat lokman verse number 11 what does god say bismillah this is

[37:07]the creation of allah [Music] this is the creation of allah show

[37:15]me those who you call upon besides him what did they create

[37:18]what did they create another eye of the quran and surah 38

[37:24]27 there is this wonderful ayah as well where god again takes

[37:27]us to his creation but this time you know what he's saying

[37:31]don't say it's random i beg you randomness we reject there is

[37:37]a purpose there is an intelligence there is a power verse 27

[37:42]38 we created not the heavens nor the earth and what is

[37:52]between them in vain this is the imagination of those who disbelieve

[38:04]faway will be to those who disbelieve because of the fire i

[38:11]remember when when i when i was younger we i think frederick

[38:15]canute and nicholas and elka both converted to islam in a certain

[38:24]period and kanute was discussing his conversion and there was there was

[38:28]a stream of i think french players who had converted and of

[38:30]the verses that affected them was this we did not create all

[38:33]of this in vain don't say it's random of course if someone

[38:36]wants to say it's random i'm not here to compel someone to

[38:41]follow my worldview my worldview here is saying what is saying that

[38:44]darwin's theory there are many things we agree with but if we

[38:48]were to differ on certain things we differ maybe on where does

[38:51]it offer us more what does it offer us morally randomness and

[38:57]macrocosm evolution or microcosm evolution what do we mean species changing within

[39:03]one another we can see there's changes within a species i can

[39:08]see the beak is bigger the beak is smaller the beak is

[39:12]longer the legs are bigger the legs are smaller the feathers the

[39:15]wings and so on that we cannot deny microcosm microevolution on a

[39:24]microcosmic level we don't have a problem with but a change of

[39:29]an entire species into another macro evolution that's where the difference is

[39:36]so when someone turns around to you and says to you so

[39:41]do you guys for example believe in evolution you could say on

[39:47]what micro evolution or are you asking me about macro evolution micro

[39:52]evolution you can show me and don't just show me i want

[39:56]to see i want to enjoy i want to enjoy the development

[40:01]of the survival of these animals but you telling me of a

[40:05]complete species change not only is it so hard to replicate in

[40:09]the lab i think you'll agree with me has anyone replicated that

[40:11]whole species change in the lab yet no it hasn't been done

[40:14]someone might say yeah but you know science we keep looking okay

[40:16]keep looking there's no problem this is a sub part of my

[40:21]world view not my whole world view so you're not gonna really

[40:24]hurt me by showing me but for me going down the line

[40:30]that the human being with their morals with their potential with their

[40:33]capability yes i agree animals sleep we sleep animals eat we eat

[40:38]animals have sex we have sex but above that the rational intelligence

[40:42]and the level that the human can reach which animal can ever

[40:45]lay claim that it came near einstein's mind or it comes near

[40:51]the minds of many of the great philosophers and the great mystics

[40:54]that's where we have a difference so you see for us originally

[41:00]there was an important point and that is don't get thrown into

[41:03]the idea that this is the meaning of life the physical no

[41:06]rather this is a part of it and that's why when you

[41:10]look within the quran allah subhanahu wa ta'ala virtually concludes this whole

[41:16]discussion in a unique way and what way is that is that

[41:18]he actually tells you that listen you can look for many great

[41:22]artists because the reality is that when we're looking at the creation

[41:25]we obviously look for the creator and so when i'm looking at

[41:31]theories which are postulated and i wouldn't just say darwin i'd say

[41:36]those who come a lot later because darwin there is still a

[41:38]possibility of a discussion of observing the laws without denying the creator

[41:44]there is still that possibility whereas those who come later no you

[41:47]observe all of this there's no such thing as god this is

[41:51]all fairy tales in the quran and surah 27 verse number 88

[42:00]god replies back to those who say there is no intelligent designer

[42:04]behind all of this this is just the soup it was brewing

[42:08]and it just came forth in front of all of us and

[42:11]surah 27 verse number 88 god wants to show you that those

[42:15]who are saying such things we don't lose any sleep why because

[42:20]just even look at the mountains even the mountains we wouldn't put

[42:23]in the world of randomness you will see the mountains which you

[42:30]think are firm solid but they pass away like the passing clouds

[42:33]what does it then say after that this is the artistry of

[42:49]allah who has made everything firm this is beautiful emmis last night

[42:54]we looked at the difference between insane and bashar when we created

[42:58]the human then we talked of the bashar called adam sometimes islam

[43:02]muslims say look here there's a difference from we have sana we

[43:09]have the idea of an artistry a sculpture you can't fathom creation

[43:16]then fathom the sculpture that i bring before you and many of

[43:19]you have not even laid eyes on that sculpture you've seen humans

[43:22]and some of the animals but many of you have not seen

[43:25]all of them and many of you not seen plants you will

[43:28]never see a sculpture you will never see an artist like allah

[43:33]so therefore for us we look at eyes in the quran which

[43:36]conclude this whole discussion and surah 82 of the quran look how

[43:40]many times allah just wants you to wake up to the reality

[43:42]of the fact that all you have to do is observe and

[43:46]you'll realize that this was from intelligent design and that the human

[43:51]being is the highest creation in many cases except when they misbehave

[43:55]in surah 82 verse number 6 what has beguiled you from your

[44:04]lord the most gracious the one who created we won't stop there

[44:10]and fashioned unjustly proportioned which ever formed he willed he casted you

[44:27]took the warning but you believe the day of judgment that means

[44:31]that those who had the debate about intelligence design versus randomness existed

[44:34]when the quran was around and it will continue to exist and

[44:38]there is no compulsion they want to follow what they want to

[44:40]follow it's up to them but for us as muslims the quran

[44:44]was open to discussion of biology it was open to discussion of

[44:48]the development of the human being it was open to development of

[44:52]the creation of the creation that we see around us all it

[44:54]said is that you know what there might have been an intelligence

[44:57]designer before this if before planck's moment you're able to continue to

[45:00]find continue to research there's no problem and that's why i love

[45:05]this one quote which i thought i'll read for all of you

[45:07]there is a grand jaw in this view of life with its

[45:12]several powers having been originally breathed by the creator into a few

[45:19]forms or into one and that was this planet has gone cycling

[45:24]on according to the fixed laws of gravity from so simple a

[45:31]beginning endless forms of beautiful and most wonderful have been and are

[45:38]being evolved that's the quotes of said no charles darwin was allah

[45:48][Music] hey [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] why
