Ok this has to be put to rest once and for all.
Hypothesis - something completely unproven and untested on observable phenomena
Theory - Something with significant evidence that has been test empirically on observable phenomena
The Sun rising in the sky is a THEORY, because there is no empirical way to comprehensively say that sun will rise tomorrow, merely that is has risen and the mathematics that apply to other things such a earth orbit etc say it's 99% sure.
I can prove that 1+1=2 or that A+B+C = 180 degrees in a triangle but I can't prove empirically that Plate Tectonics is fact etc etc
Of all theories that aren't related to calculation or empirically testable models, the Theory of Evolution has the most evidentiary samples.
I know the difference between facts, theories and hyphothis, and I didn't call evolution a hyphosis, it is a theory, whether it's 10% or 99% for sure, it still isnt' fully proven and that is a fact
don't get me wrong, my religion isn't causing any narrow mindness, I do enjoy scientific debates and accepting new ideas
it's just that you can never be 100% sure, as the Greek who'd burn whoever opposes the theory that says that the sun orbits the planet, that is narrowmindness, but then it was proven wrong and there are too many examples like that, it's enough for me to believe that no scientific theory is perfect, but in the entire history of humans man thought what he knows in science is facts
the solar system and all astronomy theories are based on physics and the laws of Newton which were proven as theories and became facts, for example through his ways you can tell the weight of Earth or the distance between us and the sun, that is a practical theory than you can apply in your house on much much smaller objects, then they became facts, but evolution is all theoritical until now, and I am not toally against it, neither is Islam
there's a very interesting theory, actually I heard of, from a sheikh in Islam, he says that there is a possibility that God created the universe with all the bacteria and microorganisms and there were no humans created, and then humans who came from this evolution and lived in societies, he chose 2 of them "Adam and Eve" to be in his heaven on Earth, until the end of that story..
that theory satisfies creationism and evolution in a way, and then a religious person might say "but God said clearly that he created Adam", you'd say that he also says that he created us all.
see? Qur'an didn't deny evolution at all
I see how much sense evolution makes, and I believe completely in creationism too, they don't really oppose each other that much if you think about it from a different point of view
"Allah Almighty (God) created every animal from water. Among living objects there are some which crawl on their bellies, some walk on two legs and some on four".
First living thing was algae in plant kingdom then animal kingdom started. Quran makes reference to plant kingdom.
"The status of human life has been achieved after successfully passing through the steps of animal life".
Correct-ish
"He caused you to grow from earth"
"We fashioned you from soil."
"Man's creation was initiated from inorganic matter which before you, was lying lifeless in the form of clay".
Could you mention the verses so I read them in their and my original language?
and I don't understand your comments on each verse specially the BS one tbh, elaborate please.
According to the Quran the Sun has a resting place. Allah commands the Sun to rise every day. Clearly science has proved this theory wrong. Another thing is that the Quran says mountains were designed to prevent earthquakes, while we now know very well how exactly mountains come to exist.
So there you go.
show me the Quran verse that says the sun has a resting place, or that mountains were designed to prevent earthquakes
Quran says about mountains:
078.007
YUSUFALI: And the mountains as pegs
PICKTHAL: And the high hills bulwarks
SHAKIR: And the mountains as projections (thereon)
which means, they stabilize the planet, like pegs
science proved that "God commands the sun everyday" is wrong?
nothing can assure you that it will rise up tomorrow, it's theoritical, in this case why can't you assume that a higher power orders it to rise everyday?
those chemical reactions making the sun what it is started millions of years ago and didn't end yet, I've never seen a longer chemical reaction, this makes me believe that God commands it to rise everyday
check this out:
if you ask anyone with basic knowledge in physics or ignorant completely about the shape of the sun, pretty obvious he'd say spherical, that is what we all see
but:
http://www.nasa.gov/topics/solarsystem/features/oblate_sun.html
Nasa proves it's not exactly spherical 2 years ago, only
see the point? everything even what you see in front of you can be proven wrong, every theory is subjected to change
but Quran says:
081.001
YUSUFALI: When the sun (with its spacious light) is folded up;
PICKTHAL: When the sun is overthrown,
SHAKIR: When the sun is covered,
which means on the judgement day "when the sun
becomes spherical" the way it is said in Arabic.
so Quran told you over 1400 years ago that it isn't spherical despite how you see it, and 2 years ago only you could prove it
is that not enough to believe?
There are a lot of theories in the Quran that have been proven wrong by science. If all these theories are proven wrong, we might as well consider the whole damn thing a fallacy as, contrary to what some said in reaction to my first post, the goal of the Quran is indeed to explain the universe.
mention them, I'm willing to go all the way with each of them
what makes you say that is the goal of Quran? the main goal is to show all people the right path peacefully, and it occasionally explains life and scientific things but thats not its main goal

Erectus! right through to Homo sapiens which the Quran supports by saying that Allah made men gradually as a process.
