Did Adam and Eve share a common ancestor with apes?

Why are arctic foxes white? What would happen if you introduced a large population of brown foxes (with fur and everything) into the arctic? would they survive?

That's not evolution but rather natural selection

What was the answer?

You'd be surprised about the simplicity and compatibility of science and the Quran. If you think the Quran denies evolution, think again. I am not qualified to give you an authoritative answer but do check with your nearest Islamic learning center.

Op do you know that all humans come from single woman called mitochondrial Eve if evolution was true why do we all come from single woman and man

Mitochondrial eve is a maternal ancestor of all humans that lived 200,000 years ago in Africa. This says nothing about a paternal ancestor and is perfectly in line with evolution.

No. This question is why I left Islam.

You left Islam for a theory that is not substantiated by the one thing that makes it substantiable and that is the paleontogical record.

I hope you know the intermediate species fossil record is close to non existent the Wikipedia page for it is sparse and many of the 'intermediate' fossils are questionable. Good luck answering important questions such as: "What is the meaning of life?", "Is the meaning for my life worth living for?", "Why do we fight for good causes if Earth and all its inhabitants will be destroyed by cosmic particles in about 100k years?", "Why are there moral absolutes across cultures regarldess of religion?".

I pray the best for you. I know modern science goes against religion but that is because people decided to bring politics where it should not be. A creationist geologist should not be persecuted simply because they are a geologist.

please watch whole thing.
If Adam and Eve are not part of evolution, how do you explain the evolution of everything else?
I do know the story of Adam and Eve. There's too much evidence for evolution and if you can't fit them into what we know about evolution, it falls apart.

That's exactly what religious people are saying. You either accept the whole truth or none of it. Adam and Eve just weren't a part of the equation if evolution were true because it would mean that there were 5000 Eves and 5000 Adams since the source population for humans was 10,000.

Us and apes have a common ancestor. We're cousins of apes and every other animal.

No look at the phylogeny of apes. We are still apes if you believe in evolution.

If you believe in Islam and evolution simultaneously please tell me: What was the source population of humans? Two as God has mentioned in the Quran or 10,000 as the evolutionary accounts mention?

I shall get you few links later when I have access to my laptop, meanwhile, as I explained before, explore the option of talking to uleema oo diin at your nearest mosque.

One thing you should be aware of is the different schools of thought. I believe in dialogue between the three monotheistic religions. I profess not to be an expert on this subject and do not want to give you a misleading answer. Seek the knowledge from the source -the mosque.

That's what evolution is. There's no difference between evolution and natural selection. Natural selection is how evolution happens.

No. This question is why I left Islam.

Most Ethiopian anthropologists who study the remains of hominids and such still believe in God. They believe that evolution was created by Him just as you and me were as well. Do you really believe that somehow the dust from the universe just swirled around until we eventually came to being?

Some Muslims claim that god was referring to the 10,000 and that he picked two out of them. It's comical but it's out there.

The fossils they find point to a different version of human ancestry than we're led to believe by Islam. Islam says that Adam and Eve were the first HUMANS, that there were TWO of them CREATED (meaning they didn't evolve from other things and were born). The evidence for evolution doesn't point to the creation of two human beings but millions of years of evolution.

The people studying the fossils do believe in god. They don't know any better. They are suffering from cognitive dissonance and have never asked themselves the question: "if god created the first humans, why do we keep finding evidence that this isn't true?"

And before you tell me "god creates through evolution", he explicitly says he created two people out of clay and would be appalled by the idea that Adam and Eve had something to do with monkeys or whales.
