sure, that's reasonable that it could've been achieved in any way, but perhaps, if there is a God, God had created the universe in such a harmonic way so that humans can appreciate it and question its divinity.
Besides that though, personally i can't accept the theory that all this harmony, and the idea that one mistake in the universe could mess up EVERYTHING, happened by chance, and is all a coincidence - personally.
So many presuppositions. You're presupposing the existence of life, the existence of humans, the existence of humans precisely as they are right now.
Humans exist as they do because of the nature of the universe, NOT the other way around. If you assume the existence of humans i.e. that humans are meant to exist or the "point" of the universe is the existence oif humans, then sure, everything looks magical. But in reality humans are just a consequence of what happens to be the nature of the universe. There is no reason anything is meant to exist. Human action has on numerous occasions interfered with nature such that new species or subspecies have evolved that otherwise wouldn't have if things had been left to their natural cause. Doesn't this seem strange given that everything is designed and that all the animals were created by allah?
See how the conditions that eventuate dictate what exists and what doesn't?
There's no reason for the universe to be so fragile and harmonious, allah could (and seemingly should) have made the universe to be anything, literally anything, and still have had humans survive. It makes no sense that he would make things so delicate.
And for something designed so 'harmonically', isnt it strange that less than 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% of the universe is capable of sustaining human life? And that even on earth, only a fraction of the land isn't water, dessert or ice?
That's a generalisation and a stereotype. Most muslims that i know are always asking questions, always interested in other beliefs and sects of Islam, and in classes where we learn of evolution, a majority of us TRY to understand it all, and see why it would make sense. What you're referring to is the stereotypical muslims that are portrayed in the media every second day, but in reality aren't true muslims.
Do these really seem like an open-minded group of people?
And no, those percentages mean
percentage of all muslims in a given country.
"Can you prove that you exist? Yes, of course you can. You merely use your senses to determine that you can see, hear, feel, smell, taste and you have emotions as well. All of this is a part of your existence. But this is not how we perceive God in Islam.
Cool but I was referring to your strawman, that out disbelief in allah comes from a lack of being able to see him.
We can look to the things that He has created and the way that He cares for things and sustains us, to know that there is no doubt of His existence.
Let's assume that this proves the existence of
A god: why is it any more proof of allah than any other of the thousands of gods that people have and continue to believe in?
And then consider if a tornado came through a junkyard and tore through the old cars; would it leave behind a nice new Mercedes with the engine running and no parts left around? Naturally not.
There is nothing special about earth UNLESS YOU PRESUPPOSE THAT HUMANS WERE MEANT TO EXIST.
A mercedes is a very precise and predetermined contraption. The earth is simply a bunch of elements which react with other elements. Some of these chemical reactions are favored given the randomly determined conditions of earth, which in turn favors the creation of certain compounds. If conditions had been different, different reactions would have been favored and life would have been different, but there's no reason why this is any more or less amazing than the life that would have resulted had conditions remained the same.
reading from a textbook the idea and the story of evolution, and learning about it, isn't exactly first-hand data. And i'm asking about the actual process that's happened, show me some sort of first-hand evidence, of someone watching evolution occur - this is what i'm saying.
You would be absolutely
astonished by how much of the technology you use on a daily basis was developed using theories which lacked "first-hand" evidence.
