I was learning about evolution, and my science teacher was basically yelling about how people believe that there is a man in the sky, so were they around at the same time as humans, and were they killed off by other types of humans...
Most religions deny evolution because they believe that God created man from ashes.... Uhhhhhhh, well choose one then, Evolution, or Creation by a man in the sky who took ashes and formed people and blew life into them.
O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise (each other). Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things). -quran
Just read surah al baqarah, there are verse when the angels denying the creation of Adam because they think human will destroying the earth but Allah said to the Angel that He know that the angels dont know. How can the angels know that human will destroy the earth if there was no creature like Adam before?
