Recently, as I've been reading more narrations on Adam and Eve, their creations, and our creation as particles inside Adam, I'm starting to wonder whether Adam's creation story could in any way be compatible with the theory of evolution.
Until recently, I've been an avid supporter of the evolution theory. And I think I still am. I want to be. However, I'm having a hard time seeing how Adam's story could be reconciled with the evolution theory.
Adam's creation is very supernatural, surreal, out of this world (literally), and the evolution theory is very worldly, mundane, and profane.
I just can't see how they can be compatible, unless one claims that almost everything in Adam's story should be seen metaphorically. And I don't think this view can be Islamically justified.
I'm just writing what I'm thinking, and I'm not sure where I stand on this topic at this point.
Any thoughts?
