The document discusses reconciling the theory of evolution with the Islamic belief in the creation of Adam. It argues that the earth used to create Adam already contained the evolved cells and DNA of early humans, leading to the formation of the human body. The goal is to unite the understanding that evolution and creation both occurred, with Adam and humans referred to as "Homo Eruditus." The document outlines its 12 sections, including examining current Islamic views on evolution and how to reconcile scientific knowledge with the Quran. It discusses evolution and Darwin's theory, the creation of Adam according to the Quran and hadiths, and how cells and DNA relate to the concept of Adam being formed from clay.

TILLERY | 1Jasonus TilleryAPOL 50024th September 2016 1. Worldview Selection
Worldview selected: Naturalism.
Naturalism is the philosophical viewpoint that supports that belief that all existence began from natural properties and causes. In it, there is no room for spiritual ideologies of supernatural explanations about the beginning of life or existence. Naturalists basically believe in the laws and forces as the controls of the world and how things run. Naturalism is the main rival to deism. Naturalism is expressed in the belief that there is no “main man in the sky.”2. Summary of Significant Beliefs of the Naturalism Worldview (using several major categories of belief)
· Naturalists believe that the big bang was the source of all life where energy was the main source.
· The fingerprint of God, also recognized as the seven days significance in the creation of the world and everything else, is seen in usage within Naturalism, thus the usage of the repeated number sequences that have digit seven (7) in them (Mahner, 2016).
· Naturalism also believe that energy cannot be formed or created; they, therefore, do not believe in creation, but believe in the big bang theory where energy transformation was the rationale behind the existence of the world.
· Naturalism asserts that here are many galaxies, and that the Milky Way is not the only galaxy, and that the cause of the big bang was because of the multiple galaxies and energy transformation (Mahner, 2016).
· Naturalism asserts that the whole idea of Christianity was developed to formulate a system of control that can restrain people so that the rules and laws of supernatural beings can prevent man from causing havoc and chaos.
· Naturalisms also questions the first verse of the bible, which asserts that during the first day of creation, God separated light and dark, and on the fourth day, he separated the heavenly bodies. This contradiction makes it obvious that there is a discrepancy in the theory of creation because there cannot be day and night if there are no heavenly bodies (Putnam, 2016).Preliminary Evaluation Ideas (focus on 8 criteria for evaluating a worldview)
Groothuis provides a list with which apologetic reasoning should be guided. The lists states that
· A worldview must explain what it ought to explain (Groothuis 2011, 52) – Naturalism explores the origin of life and provides a concise and scientific approach that is approachable through natural laws and science, albeit not applicable in experimental testing due to the sheer span of time and global mass when it comes to the simulation of theories such as the big bang.
· A worldview must exhibit internal logical consistency (Groothuis 2011, 53) – Naturalism uses logical comparisons of the Christian worldview and naturalism to show that the theory of creation-fall-redemption and the existence of a supernatural heavenly being are illogical, and that the logical thing is that which can be proven through science as naturalism doe ...
Dr. John Oakes taught a class on Modernism and Scientific Materialism at the 2015 International Christan Evidence Conference at York College in York, Nebraska, June 19-21. He gave a brief overview of the history of modern science and then give a world view critique of the philosophy, comparing it to Christianity. Here are notes and power points from the presentation.
“This article will discuss the importance of knowing precisely between knowledge and science. Regarding this matter, the discussion would like to introduce two different points of view about Universe; from Scientists and Islamic perspective, because from which philosophers and Scientists formulate or synthesized their findings and results of their observations according to the preconscious Ideas. This is a preliminary effort to discuss on how the reality of sciences (haqa’iq al-‘ulum) and the knowledge (al-ma‘rifat) can help mankind knowing, establishing and acknowledging Allah and His present and existence. By knowing these, we could learn the privilege of Islamic fundamentals and requirements for sciences and knowledge. Hence, they should entails upon Muslims especially or Non-Muslim in general into the ultimate truth and justice to the Knowledge and Science & Technology. This is what is supposed to be in scientific and technological application in the worldly lives.”

In this lecture, we explore whether and where science and religion intersect, and if there’s harmony or hostility between God’s word (the Bible) and God’s world (science).
Presentation by Dr. Dennis Wilson
Toward the end of the Renaissance, the modern method ofempir.docxturveycharlyn
Toward the end of the Renaissance, the modern method of
empirical science began to develop. The key players were
Nicholas Copernicus (1473-1543), Johannes Kepler (1571-
1630), and Galileo Galilei (1564-1642). Although it may
seem ironic now, each of these men believed in the Christian
God. They viewed science as studying the handiwork of an
almighty Creator and discerning His natural laws. Galileo
considered God to have written two “books”: the Bible and
nature (Hummel, p. 106).
Contrary to popular belief, the cause for the diversion
between Christianity and science originated not with the
Church but with the university professors who were threat-
ened by Galileo’s revolutionary ideas. These professors were
steeped in the Greek scientific method, which included
observation to a small extent, but mostly explained the
workings of nature through rational deduction from first
principles, or assumptions, an entire view of the universe had
been built up. Consequently, the professors embraced such
misconceptions as the sun having no imperfections, the moon
being a perfectly smooth sphere that shone with its own light,
and the earth alone having a moon since the earth was at the
center of the universe. Galileo’s recently invented telescope
quickly demonstrated the incorrectness of such assumptions
(Hummel, pp. 91-94).
Not willing to be thwarted by Galileo, the professors decided
to make the controversy religious rather than academic
(Hummel, p. 92). They argued that the heliocentric (sun-cen-
tered) view contradicted scripture (e.g., Psalm 104:22 says,
“The sun rises.” Therefore, the sun must revolve around sta-
tionary earth). In the face of what at that time appeared to be
a genuine contradiction between scripture and the heliocen-
tric theory, the theologians of the Roman Catholic Church
had no choice but to condemn Galileo’s views, because the
conflict had challenged the authority of the Church.
As a result of that controversy, the schism between reason
and faith had begun. There were now two apparently
irreconcilable sources of truth: the church and science.

This presentation explains how issues related to science and spirituality are viewed from the Western and Islamic perspectives. Besides, explaining the advantage and disadvantage of modern science, the presentation also entertains some discussion on the diversity of the human intelligence. In realizing the downside of modern science and how it has been used for destructive purposes, the researchers recommend on how science can be employed in a positive manner that can yield good results for the benefit of mankind. Moreover, they highlighted the fact that large parts of modern science go in harmony with the Islamic principles. The parts rejected by Islam are those ideas of modern science that go against the fundamental and ethical teachings of the religion, like designer babies, sperm bank, human cloning, the creation of nuclear bombs, chemical weapons, biological warfare, etc.
In this lecture, we explore whether and where science and religion intersect, and if there’s harmony or hostility between God’s word (the Bible) and God’s world (science).

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

In addition to offering my frank assessment of Success Insider’s LMA Course, this piece examines the course’s effects via a variety of Tim Han LMA course reviews and Success Insider comments.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Evoation of Homo Eruditus (The paradigm shift of Darwin's theory of evolution).pdf
1. The Evoation of Homo Eruditus
The paradigm shift of Darwin's theory of Evolution
(In light of the Quran and Hadiths)
2. The Proposal
“I am arguing that the Ardh (earth) which Allah used to
create Adam (as), had the initial ingredients Cells/DNA
of the Evolved Humans (homo sapiens) throughout
history.
Which led to the formation of the Human body.
Without Human Evolution there will be no Adam.”
3. My Goal to unite on one understanding
Evolution + Creation = EVOATION
Adam and Bani Adam = HOMO ERUDITUS
Homo Eruditus = EDUCATED MAN
4. Introduction
1) The Proposal
2) Current views on Islam and Evolution
3) What is Science and Islam?
4) How do we reconcile scientific knowledge with the Quran?
5) Evolution and Charles Darwin
6) Creation of Adam in light of Quran and Sunnah
7) Cells, DNA and clay
8) Understanding of how sound vibration can manipulate matter
9) Cradle of farming and civilisation
10) Religion throughout history
11) Future of Islam and Science
12) Final Conclusion
6. Current Views on Islam and Evolution
● Dr Shoaib Ahmed Malik research on this subject matter
7. Current Views on Islam and Evolution
● 2nd most visited site after Google is Youtube
(https://www.similarweb.com/top-websites)
● Loads of content about Islam and Evolution Online
● Has immense influence on Muslims and non Muslims
● From Zakir Naik, Yusuf Estes to Yasir Qadhi, Subhoor Ahmed etc
● There main objective is to protect Islam
● My own view changed by gaining more knowledge and understanding
● Led me to a new balanced view while maintaining the science and
traditional Islam
9. What is Science and Islam
● Meaning of Science, theory, fact, law etc
● Brief overview of the history of the Universe
● Brief overview of Islam
● Quranic language of science
● Verses where Allah wants us to use the Universe as Evidence
● Quran in 3D
● Some main issues regarding with the religion and science
● Scientific methodology, philosophy, Naturalism and Atheism
10. Meaning of Science, theory, fact, law, etc
Science - (know) the systematic study of the
structure and behaviour of the physical and
natural world through observation,
experimentation, and the testing of theories
against the evidence obtained.
Fact - an indisputable observation of a natural
or social phenomenon. We can see it directly
and show it to others.
Hypothesis - a supposition or proposed
explanation made on the basis of limited
evidence as a starting point for further
investigation.
Theory - A theory is a carefully thought-out
explanation for observations of the natural world
that has been constructed using the scientific
method, and which brings together many facts
and hypotheses.
Law - scientific laws describe phenomena that
the scientific community has found to be
provably true. Generally, laws describe what will
happen in a given situation as demonstrable by
a mathematical equation
12. Brief overview of Islam
● Islam = Submission ,That you should bear witness that there is no
god but God and that Muhammad is God's messenger, that you
should perform the ritual prayer, pay the alms tax, fast during
Ramadan, and make the pilgrimage to the House if you are able to
go there."
● Allah = ‘The God” All Powerful and All Wise
● Quran = words of God
● Hadiths = words of the prophet Mohammed (pbuh)
● 2 Billion Muslims
13. Quranic Language of Science
● Science = Ilm (knowledge)
● Fact = Ayat (proof, evidence),
● Certainty = Yaqeen
● Theory = Amanu (belief with proof and evidence)
● Scientific method =Yatadabbarūna (to ponder/observe/reflect), verb
Tadabbur (check something backwards and forward)
● The One true Monotheistic God = Allah
● PhD Thesis/Dissertation, scientific journal etc = Quran (literally
means to read and recite. The Quran includes the proofs, evidence and
purpose for “the theory of Allah”.
● The theory of Allah = S2:V136 “Say: We believe in Allah”
14. Verses where Allah wants us to use the Universe as
Evidence
Surah Jathiyah 45:2-6
● The revelation of the Book is from Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
● Indeed, within the heavens and earth are signs for the believers.
● And in the creation of yourselves and what He disperses of moving
creatures are signs for people who are certain [in faith].
● And [in] the alternation of night and day and [in] what Allah sends down from
the sky of provision and gives life thereby to the earth after its lifelessness
and [in His] directing of the winds are signs for a people who reason.
● These are the verses of Allah which We recite to you in truth. Then in what
statement after Allah and His verses will they believe?
15. Quran in 3D
● Connecting scientific facts and theories within the Quran.
● The verses in the Quran are like foundation of a building.
● Floors and rooms of the building are like adding facts and
theories
● Floors and rooms within the building can refurbished or
removed based on scientific understanding
● Example of verse regarding the word “nuṭ'fatin” which means
“semen”
16. Some main issues regarding with the religion and
science
● Religion is theology.
● Science is based on scientific method, observation of tangible.
● Scientific understanding of intangible can be classed as
theories explaining using the tangible.
● Misunderstanding between Science and religions.
● Islam is based on facts and reason and not blind faith.
● The theory of “the God”
17. Scientific methodology, philosophy, Naturalism and Atheism
Philosophy of Science - is a branch of philosophy concerned with the foundations, methods, and
implications of science. The central questions of this study concern what qualifies as science, the reliability of
scientific theories, and the ultimate purpose of science.
Methodological Naturalism - seeks to provide a framework of acquiring knowledge that requires
scientists to seek explanations of how the world around us functions based on what we can observe, test,
replicate and verify.
Naturalist - is someone who is subject to the idea or belief that only natural laws and forces (as opposed to
supernatural ones) operate in the universe
Atheism - disbelief or lack of belief in the existence of God or gods
Agnostic - a person who believes that nothing is known or can be known of the existence or nature of God
19. Evolution and Charles Darwin
● Who is Charles Darwin and what did he theorise?
● What was the reaction to his theory
● What is Evolution?
● Modern changes to his theory
● Social Darwinism
● Human Evolution
● Theistic and Atheistic view on Evolution
● Intelligent design
20. What was the reaction to his theory
● “Almost all scientists came to accept Darwin's theory
of evolution through common descent within his
lifetime. However his theories of the multiplication of
species, gradualism, and his greatest theories of
natural and sexual selection were much less widely
accepted.”
(https://darwin200.christs.cam.ac.uk/response-darwin#:~:text=Almost%20all%20scientists%
20came%20to,were%20much%20less%20widely%20accepted.)
● “While many scientists defended Darwin, religious
leaders and others immediately rejected his theory, not
only because it directly contradicted the creation story
in the biblical book of Genesis, but also because – on
a broader level – it implied that life had developed due
to natural processes rather than as the……”

21. What is Evolution?
● The process by which different kinds of living
organism are believed to have developed from
earlier forms during the history of the earth.
● The gradual development of something.
● In biology, evolution is the change in the
characteristics of a species over several
generations and relies on the process of
natural selection.
22.
23. Modern Changes to his theory
The Modern Synthetic Theory of Evolution (also
called Modern Synthesis) merges the concept of
Darwinian evolution with Mendelian genetics,
resulting in a unified theory of evolution. This theory
is also referred to as the Neo-Darwinian theory and
was introduced by a number of evolutionary
biologists.
(https://byjus.com/biology/modern-synthetic-theory-evolution/#:~:text=The%20Modern%20Syn
thetic%20Theory%20of,evolutionary%20biologists%20such%20as%20T.)
(https://prezi.com/qps2w67r9m94/modern-synthesis/)
24. Social Darwinism
Social Darwinism is a loose set of ideologies that
emerged in the late 1800s in which Charles Darwin’s
theory of evolution by natural selection was used to
justify certain political, social, or economic views. Social
Darwinists believe in “survival of the fittest”—the idea
that certain people become powerful in society because
they are innately better. Social Darwinism has been used
to justify imperialism, racism, eugenics and social
inequality at various times over the past century and a
half.
(https://www.history.com/topics/early-20th-century-us/social-darwinism#:~:text=Social%20Darwi
nists%20believe%20in%20“survival,past%20century%20and%20a%20half.)
25. Human Evolution
Human evolution is the evolutionary process within the
history of primates that led to the emergence of Homo
sapiens as a distinct species of the hominid family,
which includes all the great apes. This process involved
the gradual development of traits such as human
bipedalism, dexterity and complex language, as well as
interbreeding with other hominins (a tribe of the African
hominid subfamily), indicating that human evolution was
not linear but weblike. The study of human evolution
involves several scientific disciplines, including physical
and evolutionary anthropology, paleontology, and
genetics.
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_evolution)
26.
27.
28. Theistic and atheistic view on Evolution
● Christianity and Judaism overall accept Evolution,
and taking the creation story as a metaphor.
● In general majority of religions accept somewhat
of Evolution
● Creationist disagree everything about Evolution
● Atheist take the naturalist approach and agree
everything about Evolution and strongly disagree
with creationsist
29. Intelligent Design
Intelligent design (ID) is a pseudoscientific argument for the
existence of God, presented by its proponents as "an
evidence-based scientific theory about life's origins".
Proponents claim that "certain features of the universe and
of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause,
not an undirected process such as natural selection." ID is a
form of creationism that lacks empirical support and offers
no testable or tenable hypotheses, and is therefore not
science. The leading proponents of ID are associated with
the Discovery Institute, a Christian, politically conservative
think tank based in the United States.
31. Creation of Adam in Light of Quran
and Sunnah
● What happened before the creation of Adam
● Why and how was Adam created
● What materials were used to create Adam
● What was the response of Adam's creation
● The goal of Adam's creation
● What is the difference between Bashar and Insaan
32. What happened before the creation of
Adam
● Angels and Jinns were created before Adam
● Few opinions regarding creation before
Adam
● The Hinn, Binn and Jinn
● 50,000 Adams?
● Allah created all the creatures on Earth
33. Why and how was Adam created
“And [mention, O Muhammad], when your Lord said to the angels, ‘Indeed,
I will make upon the earth a successive authority.’ They said, ‘Will You
place upon it one who causes corruption therein and sheds blood, while
we declare Your praise and sanctify You?’ Allah said, ‘Indeed, I know that
which you do not know.’” [2:30]
“[So mention] when your Lord said to the angels, "Indeed, I am going to
create a human being from clay. “ [38:71]
“Indeed Allah Most High created Adam from a handful that He took from
all of the earth. So the children of Adam come in according with the earth,
some of them come red, and white and black, and between that, and the
thin, the thick, the filthy, and the clean.” [at-Tirmidhi, 2955]
34. What materials were used to create Adam
● 25:54 - And it is He who has created from WATER a human being and made him
[a relative by] lineage and marriage. And ever is your Lord competent
[concerning creation].
● 3:59 - Indeed, the example of Jesus to Allah is like that of Adam. He created Him
from DUST; then He said to him, "Be," and he was.
● 71:17 - “And Allah has caused you to grow from the EARTH a [progressive]
growth”
● 6:2 - It is He who created you from CLAY and then decreed a term and a
specified time [known] to Him; then [still] you are in dispute.
● 15:26 - “And indeed, We created man from SOUNDING CLAY of altered black
smooth mud”
Adam was created from multiple sources or materials and stages
which include water (ma), Dry sand/dust (taarab), Earth/Topsoil
(ardh), Clay (theen) and sounding clay (salsalin). This can be seen
being stated in the Quran
35. What was the response of Adam's creation
● Angels obeyed, Iblis disobeyed
“[So mention] when your Lord said to the angels, ‘Indeed, I am going to create a
human being from clay. So when I have proportioned him and breathed into him of
My [created] soul, then fall down to him in prostration.’ So the angels prostrated –
all of them entirely. Except Iblees; he was arrogant and became among the
disbelievers.”
(Allah) said: "0 Iblis! What prevents you from prostrating yourself to one whom I have created with Both My Hands. Are
you too proud (to fall prostrate to Adam) or are you one of the high exalted?" (Iblis) said "I am better than he, You
created me from fire, and You created him from clay." [38:71-74]
● Iblis’s mission to deceive mankind
“So he misled them with deception. Then when they tasted of the tree, that which was hidden from them of their
shame (private parts) became manifest to them and they began to stick together the leaves of Paradise over
themselves (in order to cover their shame). And their Lord called out to them (saying): "Did I not forbid you that tree
and tell you: Verily, Satan is an open enemy unto you?" [7:22]
36. The goal of Adam's creation
And I did not create the jinn and
mankind except to worship Me. [51:56]
Do people think once they say, “We believe,” that they will be left without being put to the test?.
We certainly tested those before them. And ˹in this way˺ Allah will clearly distinguish between
those who are truthful and those who are liars. [29:2-3]
Whoever does righteousness, whether male or female, while he is a believer - We will surely
cause him to live a good life, and We will surely give them their reward [in the Hereafter]
according to the best of what they used to do. [16:97]
37. What is the difference between Bashar and
Insaan
● Bashar = The Human Body
● Insaan = The Human Body and The Ruh (soul)
● Adam is the first Insaan also can be classed as
Homo Eruditus (educated man)
● Prehistoric humans like Neanderthals can be classed
as Bashar
As an example a Messenger (rasul) is given new laws from God and conveys the message to the
people. A Prophet (nabi) follows the old message and conveys the message to people.
So every messenger is as prophet, not all messenger prophets are messengers.
39. Cells, DNA and Clay
● What are cells.
● What is DNA.
● How does Earth, clay matter react and preserve Cells and DNA.
● One cell can form a whole body.
● Tissue engineering.
● How does Adam now fit in with Evolution especially the use of Clay
40. What are cells
● Cells are the basic building blocks of all living things
● Prokaryotic cells - include bacteria and archaea, single-celled (unicellular). They don’t contain a nucleus.
Instead, their DNA can be found in the cytoplasm in a region called the nucleoid or in circular chromosomes called
plasmids.
● Eukaryotic cells - can be found in animals, plants, protists, and fungi. Eukaryotes—organisms composed of
eukaryotic cells—are multicellular or complex unicellular organisms. Eukaryotic cells have a membrane-bound
nucleus where their DNA is stored.
● Cells replicate themselves - Mitosis occurs when a cell divides and creates two genetically identical copies
of itself.
(https://www.visiblebody.com/learn/biology/cells/cell-overview#:~:text=There%20are%20two%20main%20types,prokaryotic%20cells%20and%20
eukaryotic%20cells.)
41. What is DNA
● DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid
● A molecule that supplies the genetic instructions that tell living creatures how to
develop, live and reproduce.
● The DNA is located within the Nucleus of a cell
● DNA can be preserved
● One of the key components of Evoation theory
(https://www.livescience.com/37247-dna.html)

42. How does Earth, clay matter react and preserve
Cells and DNA.
● DNA can survive on soil and be tested:
https://www.science.org/content/article/no-bones-no-problem-dna-left-cave-soils-can-reveal-ancient-human-occupants
● DNA needs water as its made up of water molecules:

43. One cell can form a whole body
“One of biology's great mysteries is how a single fertilized egg gives
rise to the multitude of cell types, tissues, and organs that fit
together to make a body. Now, a combination of single-cell
sequencing technologies and computational tools is providing the
most detailed picture yet of this process.”
(https://www.science.org/content/article/how-one-cell-gives-rise-entire-body)
44. Tissue engineering
“Tissue engineering evolved from the field of biomaterials development
and refers to the practice of combining scaffolds, cells, and biologically
active molecules into functional tissues. The goal of tissue engineering
is to assemble functional constructs that restore, maintain, or improve
damaged tissues or whole organs.“
(https://www.nibib.nih.gov/science-education/science-topics/tissue-engineering-and-regenerative-medicine)
45. 1) If Adams body is created using clay matter.
2) And clay matter can preserve and regenerate cells and DNA to form a
protein, tissue, limbs, bones and a body.
3) Therefore Prehistoric human (homo sapien sapien) genetic material was
incorporated within clay matter to create Adams body rather than a
continuous process of human evolution indicating a mixture of both
evolution and creation called Evoation.
How does Adam now fit in with Evolution
especially the use of Clay
47. Understanding of how Sound vibration changes
matter
● What are waves, vibration and frequency.
● How does sound change matter.
● What is Sonoluminescence?
● Quran understanding of vibration
● Sound Vibration from Allah is both natural and supernatural causes
● Sneak peak into Big Bang theory and frequency of vibration.
● What is the correlation between sound vibration and Adam’s creation
49. How does sound change matter
“Sound is a form of energy that is caused by the
vibration of matter. Sound is transmitted through
waves, which travel through solids, liquids and
gases. We are most used to the sound travelling
through air, but sound is able to travel faster and
further in solids and liquids.”
(https://www.sciencelearn.org.nz/resources/2814-sound-visualising-s
ound-waves)
“Researchers have revealed how high-frequency
sound waves can be used to build new materials,
make smart nanoparticles and even deliver drugs to
the lungs for painless, needle-free vaccinations.”
(https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/11/201124101029.ht)
50. What is Sonoluminescence?
Sonoluminescence is a mysterious
phenomenon caused when ultrasound
waves excite a liquid, creating tiny bubbles
which emit light when they collapse. The
effect is magnified when the bubbles
contain a noble gas. The phrase
sonoluminescence means "sound light".
(http://acoustics-research.physics.ucla.edu/sonoluminescence/)
51. Quran understanding of vibration
And the Horn will be blown, and whoever is in the
heavens and whoever is on the earth will fall dead
except whom Allah wills. Then it will be blown
again, and at once they will be standing, looking on.
(39:68)
It is Allah who made for you the earth a place of
settlement and the sky a ceiling and formed you
and perfected your forms and provided you with
good things. That is Allah , your Lord; then blessed
is Allah , Lord of the worlds. (40:64)
52. Sneak peak into how sound frequency may have
cause the Big bang
Originator of the heavens and the earth. When He decrees
a matter, He only says to it, "Be," and it is. (2:117)
And the heaven We built with Our own powers and indeed
We go on expanding it. (51:48)
Do not the unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth
were a closed-up mass (ratqan), then We clove them
asunder (fataqna)? And We made from water every living
thing. Will they not then believe? (21:31)
He said, "First of all, there was nothing but Allah, and
(then He created His Throne). His throne was over the
water, and He wrote everything in the Book (in the
Heaven) and created the Heavens and the Earth."Volume
4, Book 54, Number 414
Primordial Waters - “A cosmic
ocean, primordial waters, or
celestial river is a mythological motif
that represents the world or cosmos
enveloped by a vast primordial
ocean. Found in many cultures and
civilizations, the cosmic ocean
exists before the creation of the
earth. From the primordial waters
the earth and the entire cosmos
arose. The cosmic ocean
represents or embodies chaos.”
53. Vibration from Allah is both natural and
supernatural causes
Then We inspired to Moses, "Strike with
your staff the sea," and it parted, and each
portion was like a great towering
mountain. (26:63)
[And mention] when the angels said, "O
Mary, indeed Allah gives you good
tidings of a word from Him, whose name
will be the Messiah, Jesus, the son of
Mary - distinguished in this world and
the Hereafter and among those brought
near [to Allah]. (3:35)
The Hour has come near,
and the moon has split [in
two]. (54:1)
54. What is the correlation between Sound vibration and
Adam’s creation
1) If Adams body is created using clay matter.
2) And clay matter via “SOUND CREATION” can preserve and regenerate cells
and DNA to form a protein, tissue, limbs, bones and a body.
3) Therefore Prehistoric human (homo sapien sapien) genetic material was
incorporated within clay matter via “SOUND CREATION” to create Adams
body rather than a continuous process of human evolution indicating a
mixture of both evolution and creation called Evoation.
56. Cradle of Civilisation and Farming
● Prehistory of human beings.
● History of how farming started.
● Transition from hunter gatherers to farming.
● First known places of civilisation.
● Where can the family of Adam fit within prehistory of humans.
57. Prehistory of human beings
Prehistory - Also known as pre-literary history,[1]
is the period of human history between the first
known use of stone tools by hominins c. 3.3
million years ago and the beginning of recorded
history with the invention of writing systems. The
use of symbols, marks, and images appears very
early among humans, but the earliest known
writing systems appeared c. 5000 years ago. It
took thousands of years for writing systems to be
widely adopted, with writing spreading to almost
all cultures by the 19th century. The end of
prehistory therefore came at very different times
in different places, and the term is less often used
in discussing societies where prehistory ended
relatively recently.
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_prehistory)
58. History of how farming started
Farming began around 12,000 years ago in the Middle East, in an area
known as the Fertile Crescent. This region is located in what is now Iraq,
Syria, Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon, and Israel. The first farmers in the Fertile
Crescent grew crops such as wheat, barley, lentils, and peas. They also
raised animals such as goats, sheep, and cattle.
The development of agriculture had a profound impact on human society. It
allowed people to produce more food than they could gather from the wild,
which led to a rise in population. It also allowed people to settle in permanent
villages and towns, which led to the development of new technologies and
social institutions.
The spread of agriculture from the Fertile Crescent to other parts of the world
took place over thousands of years. By 5,000 years ago, agriculture was
being practiced in most parts of the world. The development of agriculture
had a major impact on the development of human civilization. It allowed
people to live in larger, more complex societies, and it laid the foundation for
the development of modern technology.
59. Transition from hunter gatherers to farming
“The moment when the
hunter-gatherers laid down their
spears and began farming around
11,000 years ago is often interpreted
as one of the most rapid and
significant transitions in human
history – the ‘Neolithic Revolution’.”
Taking root around 12,000 years ago,
agriculture triggered such a change in
society and the way in which people
lived that its development has been
dubbed the “Neolithic Revolution.”

60. First known places of civilisation
● Mesopotamia
● Ancient Egypt
● Indus valley
Göbekli Tepe,
Neolithic site near
Şanlıurfa in

The site, believed to have
been a sanctuary of
ritual significance, is marked by layers of carved
megaliths and is estimated to date to the
9th–10th millennium BCE.

61. Where can the family of Adam fit within
prehistory of humans
“Adam's Peak or Śrī Pāda is a 2,243 m (7,359 ft) tall
conical sacred mountain located in central Sri Lanka.[1][2]
It
is well known for the "Śrī Pāda" (Sinhala: ශ්රී පාද), i.e.,
"sacred footprint", a 1.8 m (5 ft 11 in) rock formation near
the summit. In Buddhist tradition the print is held to be the
footprint of the Buddha, in Hindu tradition that of
Hanuman or Shiva, i.e., "Mountain of Shiva's Light", and in
some Islamic and Christian traditions that of Adam, or that
of St. Thomas.[2][3][4]
”
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam%27s_Peak)
Habil, a shepherd, offered a healthy ram as his best
sacrifice. Whereas Qabil, a farmer, was not willing to give
his best and offered some crops from his land.”
(https://balagha.net/stories-of-the-quran/story-of-habil-qabil)
“Jabal Qasiun is a cave steeped in legend. It is said to have
been inhabited at one point by the first human being, Adam;
and there are various stories told about Ibrāhīm (Abraham),
and 'Īsā (Jesus) also having prayed in it. It is mentioned
however in Medieval Arab history books as having been the
place where Qābīl (Cain) killed Hābīl (Abel).
[9][10]
It was
known for hundreds of years as a place where prayers were
immediately accepted, and especially in times of drought
rulers of Damascus would climb to the cave and pray for rain.
Because of the murder that took place there, claimed to be
the first committed, it is called Maghārat al-Dam (the Cave of
Blood).
[11]
”
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Qasioun)
63. Religion throughout history
● When did religion start?
● How was religion portrayed in ancient civilisations
● Creation myths
● Creation of man out of clay
● Flood stories
● How all this information is linked with Islam
64. When did religion start
“The exact time when humans first became
religious remains unknown, however
research in evolutionary archaeology
shows credible evidence of
religious-cum-ritualistic behavior from
around the Middle Paleolithic era (45–200
thousand years ago).”
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionary_origin_of_religion#:~:text=The%20exact%20
time%20when%20humans,–200%20thousand%20years%20ago).)
65. How was religion portrayed in ancient civilisations
Sumerians believed in anthropomorphic polytheism,
or of many gods in human form that were specific to
each city-state.
Ancient Egypt throughout much of ancient history
Egyptian religion was polytheistic, meaning it
recognized many gods and goddesses, as well as a
variety of other divine beings.
Indus river civilisation religion is a debated topic and
remains a matter of speculation due to the fact the
Indus script is still not deciphered, however more
than likely the religion within this civilization may
have replicated a polytheistic religion like the others.
66. Creation myths
● The separation of heaven and earth. In many creation myths, the world begins as a
formless void or chaos. The first act of creation is the separation of heaven and earth, often by a god
or a pair of gods. This separation creates order out of chaos and allows for the creation of the rest of
the world.
● The creation of the world from a primordial being. In some creation myths, the world
is created from the body of a primordial being. This being may be a giant, a monster, or even a god. The
dismemberment or death of this being creates the elements of the world, such as the earth, the sky, the sea,
and the stars.
● The creation of humans. In many creation myths, humans are created by the gods. The gods may
create humans out of clay, mud, or even their own blood. Humans are often created to serve the gods or to
worship them.
● The role of animals. Animals often play a significant role in creation myths. They may help the gods
create the world, or they may be created by the gods themselves. Animals may also represent certain aspects
of the world, such as the sun, the moon, or the stars.
● The struggle between good and evil. Many creation myths involve a struggle between good
and evil. This struggle may be between gods, between humans, or between humans and gods. The struggle
between good and evil is often seen as a metaphor for the struggle between order and chaos.
67. Creation of man out of clay
The creation of man from clay is
a common theme in many
cultures around the world. In the
Bible, for example, God is said to
have created man from the dust
of the ground and breathed life
into him. In Greek mythology,
Prometheus is credited with
creating man from clay and then
giving him fire. And in Egyptian
mythology, the god Khnum is
said to have created man on a
potter's wheel.
● Greek mythology, Prometheus
is credited with creating man
from clay and then giving him
fire. (Hesiod, Works and Days)
● Egyptian mythology, the god
Khnum is said to have created
man on a potter's wheel. (The
Book of the Dead)
● Chinese mythology, the
goddess Nüwa is said to have
created man from clay and mud.
(The Book of Mountains and
Seas)
● Native American mythology,
the creator god is said to have
created man from clay and then
breathed life into him. (The
Popol Vuh)
68. Flood Stories
Creation flood stories are
a type of myth that tells the
story of a great flood that
destroys the world and is
followed by a new
beginning. These stories
are found in many different
cultures around the world,
and they often share
common elements.
● The Epic of Gilgamesh (Mesopotamian): In this story, the god Enlil
decides to destroy the world with a flood because humans have become too noisy. The
god Ea, who had created humans out of clay and divine blood, secretly warns the hero
Utnapishtim of the impending flood and gives him detailed instructions for building a boat
so that life may survive.
● The Ramayana (Hindu): In this story, the god Indra decides to destroy the
world with a flood because of the wickedness of humanity. Manu, a righteous man who is
warned of the flood by a fish, builds a boat that saves him and his family from the deluge.
After the floodwaters recede, Manu and his family emerge to repopulate the earth.
69. How all this information is linked with Islam
● "The heavens, We have built them
with power. And verily, We are
expanding it" (51:47)
● Who perfected everything which He
created and began the creation of
man from clay. (32:7)
● Surely We sent Nuh to his people,
saying: "Warn your people before
there come upon them a painful
chastisement." (71:1)
“There are many more similarities that can be pointed
out, however, the main objective is to see how close
religions and traditions from the creation of Adam and
his progeny are, which leads to the argument that
there was only one Religion given by Allah to his
creation.”
71. Future of Islam and science
● Natural and supernatural can Co-exist together
● How the understanding of vibration and frequency gives new light in science
● Kursiverse - Big Bang theory revisited
● Quran wants humans to interact with the Universe making evident of God's
existence.
● The future of science may belong to the Islamic world.
72. Natural and supernatural can co-exist together
1. If Allah (the God) is the supernatural and the creator of the
Universe.
2. The Universe and everything within it is created through natural
means.
3. Therefore the supernatural and the natural can co-exist.
73. How the understanding of vibration and frequency gives
new light in science and religion
His command is only when He intends a thing
that He says to it, "Be," and it is. (36:82)
“The use of nanoclay as a reinforcement for polymeric
composites has attracted a great deal of interest, since
only a small addition is sufficient to enhance the
properties, with montmorillonite being the most used
type of nano clay because of its relatively high aspect
ratio and commercial availability. Nanoclays is part of a
large collection of clays that consist of hydro silicates
with sheet-shaped structure arranged one over the
other, giving it the shape of flakes.”
(https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/09673911211051164)
74. Kursiverse - Big Bang theory revisited
If vibration caused the Big Bang, at what speed did
sound travel through the air and the impact it made on
the water sea?

"Seven heavens are as small as seven
Dirhams moulded in a warrior's shield in
comparison to the Kursi (literally: a
footstool) of Allah."

Indeed, within the heavens and earth are signs for the
believers. (45:3)
And do not pursue that of which you have no
knowledge. Indeed, the hearing, the sight and the heart
- about all those [one] will be questioned. (17:36)
And they have thereof no knowledge. They follow not
except assumption, and indeed, assumption avails not
against the truth at all. (53:28)

1) If Adams body is created using
clay matter.
2) And clay matter via “SOUND
CREATION” can preserve and
regenerate cells and DNA to form a
protein, tissue, limbs, bones and a
body.
3) Therefore Prehistoric human
(homo sapien sapien) genetic
material was incorporated within
clay matter via “SOUND
CREATION” to create Adams body
rather than a continuous process
of human evolution indicating a
mixture of both evolution and
creation called Evoation.
81. Muslims and theists can use this new theory
alongside others
THE EVOATION
THEORY
Evolution + Creation
= EVOATION
Adam and Bani Adam
= HOMO ERUDITUS
Homo Eruditus =
EDUCATED MAN

scientists and theologians
“Falsifiability is the capacity for some proposition, statement,
theory or hypothesis to be proven wrong. The concept of
falsifiability was introduced in 1935 by Austrian philosopher
and scientist Karl Popper (1902-1994). Since then, the
scientific community has come to consider falsifiability to be
one of the fundamental tenets of the scientific method, along
with attributes such as replicability and testability.”

It is He who has sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth to manifest it
OVER ALL RELIGIONS, although those who associate others with Allah dislike it. (9:33)
