People often think that I'm anti evolution. I'm a creationist, but

00:00:03 --> 00:00:06

then all believers are Creationists every single

00:00:06 --> 00:00:10

Christian believing Jew. But it doesn't mean I believe the

00:00:10 --> 00:00:13

universe was created in six days, or that all species were created

00:00:13 --> 00:00:18

instantaneously by God wasn't some kind of macro process leading up

00:00:18 --> 00:00:22

to animals, which God did through that mechanism. I just say the red

00:00:22 --> 00:00:25

line what comes to human beings? The Quran is very clear that God

00:00:25 --> 00:00:29

created Adam and Eve and by special creation, and I draw a red

00:00:29 --> 00:00:33

line at that. That is absolutely evolution doesn't come into that.

00:00:34 --> 00:00:37

That's exactly the Islamic position and you've interviewed a

00:00:37 --> 00:00:40

lot of people on that, but that is exactly the Islamic position is

00:00:40 --> 00:00:45

that the theology of Islam only requires belief in direct creation

00:00:45 --> 00:00:46

for the human being
