12:57 In my opinion, there is a difference between the concept of "human beings" in the context of religious scripture and science. In Islam, human beings are defined by their intellect and heart. Just because someone has a physical body like a human does not necessarily mean they are considered a human in the sense intended by the religious scripture. According to my understanding, ancient humans existed long before Adam walked the Earth. However, I believe they are not the "human beings" referred to in the religious scripture because they acted solely based on instinct. From an Islamic perspective, they cannot be considered as humans but merely as mahluk (creatures). They lack "aql" (intellect), even though they may be physically similar.

One thing has been consistent between Islamic theology and science. Islam has held positions and truths that the vagaries of science has ultimately journeyed to confirm. From space travel, to expansion of the universe, to movements of the planetary creation. Science has disproved itself by revising its knowledge to measure up to the Quran, while Islam through the Quran has proven it can consistently be consistent. Islam and the Quran then, now and in the future is the Criterion. Allahumma 'Alam AlHakeem

There is a Nature article 'Genetic Adam and Eve did not live too far apart in time' published in 2013 that gives an estimate for genetic Adam and Eve (based on y-chromosome and mitochondria DNA molecular clock estimates) that is about 200,000 years old. Given that we have a few clues about the time period of Adam and Eve, from Hadith: 1. The gigantic size of Adam (though there are different estimates of size based on what unit of measurements were being used, even if we are unsure of the exact size, we can conclude that he was gigantic in size - and not just 8 feet tall) and the existence of human giant nations in the remote past is also mentioned in the hadith and Quran. 2. That Arabia was once a land of green meadows and hills (at the time of Adam) 3. That he (the prophet of Islam, SAW) has arrived at the very end of time and is its first sign, and that if the lifespan of humankind were a full day then he has arrived at sunset just as the last rays of the sun are disappearing. All these point to the vast antiquity of man. If we combine with the 200,000 years estimate of population geneticists and the above it makes more sense to locate humankind in the Pleistocene epoch (2.5 million to 11,700 years ago). During the glacial ages, the Middle east and North Africa were green regions due to difference in global climate and heavy monsoon rains. Also many animals (mammals included) were much larger in size during this epoch so gigantic humans is more feasible. Given that already 1,400 years have passed since the Prophet (SAW) then to say he Adam came a mere 10,000 years ago makes little sense as we are supposed to be living in the twilight of humankind (which may itself span thousands of years yet).

Salām ʿAlaykum Paul, this was a gem of an interview and made me go back and find your interview with Professor Malik. I wonder if you've ever come across Ustadha Fatima Meghji (another colleague of Professor Malik) who teaches the 'Becoming Bani Adam' course from Mizan Institute, which basically goes through evolution through the Shī'ī tradition. I think she'd be awesome to hear on this subject as well (if you're both willing and able ʾinshāʾAllāh)!

Nice interview. Interestingly i did read something similar to topics brought up a number of years ago by Naqshbandi Shaykh based in Canada...

I have been trying to reconcile evolutionary biology with scripture for a decade now - I have failed so far. I am familiar with Shoaib’s work so look forwarded to this discussion. At the end of the day both Adamic and human exceptionalism can easily be described as special pleading. This talk also rapidly turned into a theological discussion after a brief mention of the so called science. The fact is upto now no one knows. The Quran doesn’t describe Adam as the first humanoid and by the looks of it neither does Bible.

One point that is very interesting to note, and hopefully Dr. Swamidass sees this comment. In his simulations for genealogical ancestry, it likely used scientific understanding for average life expectancy and the age range for which humans would have children, throughout history. Obviously these are both functions that vary through time. However, both Christians and Muslims assert that life expectancies were longer for the first generations, such as Noah pbuh being 950 years old, or even Abraham pbuh who was 175 years old. Of course, it isn't nessecarily life expectancy that is important, but rather the age at which children are concieved. I do not know how that information would be assertained from scripture, but then again, I'm not a theologian. If the simulation could be repeated with this theological based function for historical life expectancy, it would be interesting to see how the genealogical ancestry gets pushed back. What would be very interesting is to see if the date would be pushed back to the modern understanding of when the advent of human civilization occured, which is generrally understood as being in mesopotamia, however older structures suggest civilization existed earlie in Turkey, such as Gobekli Tepe, at 12,000 years, and the advent of agriculture is also quoted at this exact same time frame. If the theological understanding of life-expectancy does push this common ancenstry date back to roughly 12,000 years. It would be strong circumstantial evidence of the descendents of Adam, and Adam pbuh himself, being the first "humans" capable of greater reason. Reason and understanding likely taught by God, as God says in the Quran in surah Al Alaq, "Read with the name of your Lord who created everything, created man from a clinging clot. Read, and your Lord is Most Generous, who imparted knowledge by means of the pen, who taught man what he did not know". And since Genesis 5 does indeed suggest that "Human" refers (theologically) to those who are descendents of Adam. When God does describe teaching "man" in surah Al Alaq, this likely refers to Adam's pbuh descendents. Which, if the date is pushed back to 12,000 years, would be remarkably "coincidental" (wink wink*). Although, on second thought, such a process would likely need to push the date back past 12,000, and likely into the range of 13,000-14,000. Because the descendents of Adam, starting with Cain, would need time to migrate through the world and be "taught by the pen", at which point they would advance civilization through the teachings of God. So a date of 13,000-14,000, would lie perfectly with both scripture, and the scientific understanding of human history. *As an added layer of complexity, do the increased life-expectancies of the first descendents of Adam pbuh apply to "people" outside of Eden? Because if not, then there would a lot of chaotic mixing between different life-spans in the model. The long life span of type A (Adamic descendents), and regular life-spans of type B (purely non-Adamic). Once a type A did mix with a type B, the life-span of the offspring would likely be within the life-span of type A, given the children of Cain also lived for a long time despite his wife not being a "human" (theological definition). This would suggest a great deal of wisdom. The longer life-span of Adam pbuh and his descendents would allow for the rapid integration of type A into the rest of "people" (type B). I am not a biologist by trade, but there must be some remnant of this, if it is true. And there must be some way to model the longer lifespans, and likely later conception times, into the simulation, which should likely push the geneological ancestry back, and hopefully back to before the advent of civilization (coincidentally). Also, as a side note, wouldn't image of God likely refer to free-will? The only beings in this universe with free-will are God, jinn, and man. We clearly don't share the actual form of God, because God is formless and trancendent, beyond infinity. We clearly don't pocess the magnitude of His attributes, because His attributes are at the level of Perfection and are Absolute, and ours are neither. It seems sensible the "the image of God" is the soul which carries free-will. "People" outside of Eden didn't have this "free-will". While they had the intelligence of humans, they did not possess free-will, and lived as animals do. Rather it is the descendents of Adam pbuh alone who carry the soul which bears free-will, given to us by God because of our promise made logically prior to time's creation, that we recognized God as God, and that we would obey and worship, for the promise of paradise given through Absolute Mercy.

Also, during the time of the children of Adam (pbuh) there were advised to marry the ugly ones with the pretty ones, and the pretty ones with the ugly ones, could this be the integration of homosapians with say neanderthals? There is a documentary about the intermarriage with neanderthals. Something to think about.

One more thing, if you permit Paul, I found an article from 2021 by Ali Safadari (Shi’i author) called “The history of Adam and the case for prehistoric humans in the Quran and Hadith.” One part is worth quoting: ‘Passages of the Quran that relate the creation of Adam (p) and his descent onto Earth (Q2:30, 7:11,20:115) are silent about the existence of humanoids before him. They neither confirm nor negate this matter, leaving the door open for such a possibility. As a result of this, some scholars of exegesis have opined that Q2:30 hints to their creation: And [recall] when your Lord said to the angels, “Indeed, I will make upon the earth a representative 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.” They reason that the questions posed by the Angels to Allah (s) demonstrate their foreknowledge and experience with earlier humans who had caused corruption and bloodshed on Earth. Some Sunni thinkers such as Dr Ahmad Showqi Ibrahim[29] and Dr ʿAbd al-Sabur Shahin hold this opinion. The latter argues in his book Abī Adām[30] that we need to distinguish between the term bashar (mankind) and insān (human) in the Quran. He argues that the first is a general term used to refer to all groups of human species that have existed on Earth, whereas the second refers to the generation which stemmed from Adam (p). However, many Sunni scholars of the Quran do not accept this reading.” End quote. Our Sunni scholars also talked of beings called “hinn” and “binn” as talked about by Sheikh Yasir Qadhi, in his history of the prophets, Adam episodes.

Love the open mindedness, Brother Paul, for having the good Christian scholar on your discourse. MashaAllah:)) (What many of us have wondered at some point, I’m sure). “Building bridges” -MashaAllah. Good to ask these questions while having our beliefs and Faith, 😊

Salam alaykum wa Rahmatullah brother's.

in surah baqarah the angels ask god why is he going to put another viceregent in the world, traditional understanding is that the angels were referring to jinnkind as our predecessors, but it could be another species God created/creates. Ultimately only god knows.

Dr Swamidass has a similar voice to Russell Peters

In Adamic Exceptionalism is problematic in a way is how interbreeding between properly created beings, Adam and Eve (AS), with biological incomplete evolved beings be possible?

Dr Solehah Yaacob has her own perspective on this issue. I highly recommend if you would look into it.

I am interested to know more about the 'genetic ghost' phenomenon. I don't know how this hypothesis would link to our commitments from the Quran and Hadith. Regardless, I think belief in One Omnipotent God covers any questions science can pose

I wish all brothers to watch the series “The Journey of Certainty” by Dr. Eyad Al-Qunaibi, as it is a scientific and critical series presented in an objective and logical manner. The series dealt with the theory of evolution in detail and dismantled the arguments of evolutionists in a strict logical manner that no sane person disagrees with. And for those who do not know Dr. Eyad Al-Qunaibi Dr. Eyad Al-Qunaibi obtained a Ph.D. from the University of Houston, USA, and won first place. He worked as a teaching assistant there, and has 25 scientific papers published in international scientific journals. He has two patents in the field of molecular pharmacology. “Whoever did not watch the Journey of Certainty series has missed out on a lot.”

I think its the difference between Insan and Bashar and those the Angel ask about when Allah created Adam .. and at same time I think he is pinpointing Noah .. anyways this Channel is becoming like the House of Wisdom ❤...

Verse 29 Al Baqarah

Assalamu aleykum Are you in norway i would like to mer you i live in Oslo

Less than ten minutes in im wondering why the adam and eve scenerio is dated at a mere 10,000 years and on the flip scenerio of evolution it's automatically gone back a million+ years? Is that a fair question?

What's in the bible about Prophet Adam and Eve is vastly different than in the Quran and hadith. This video is geared towards Christians.

Br. Paul, the angels asked Allah why He would place a vice regent on earth that would cause bloodshed. It’s plausible there were non Adamic humans before Adam(as) was placed on earth. However, interbreeding between Adamic and non Adamic seems problematic.

After almost a year or more so, I'm the first one to like and comment. ✅

Interesting analysis. In my view human is not a human if he doesn't have a soul. Once a human dies he/she is automatically called a body or (jasasa), i.e. a lifeless body. What I have understood up til now is that God made the souls of everyone of us prior before He created Adam and Eve and when He decided to make Adam He just ordered the soul to enter the body and Adam started to experience everything he sees. Adam leaned the names of things (that's what the Quran says) but we see in history that it took many years for the man/human to learn and kindle fire. Obviously he was surviving on earth before he discovered fire but as time passed he became more aware of the things he needed to sustain. May God bless you immensely brother Paul. Sending prayers and much love.

ONE CREATION SIMPLE. SIX AROUND ONENESS.

It is really very simple to understand if we read the Quran without the baggage of traditional tafsirs that are influenced by Judeo-Christian traditions on muslim thinking of past and new. From the days of Kaab Al-Ahbar, muslim traditions have been tainted with confusing ideas that have stifled our purer understanding of the Quran, which is more in accordance with modern science. The only difference between materialistic neo-Darwinian evolution and evolution as expressed in the Quran is due to one main fundamental principle: Is evolution random and accidental or is evolution guided ? The Quran supports the claim of guided evolution throughout the book when it comes to the explanation of how the universe unfolded and how life started on earth and continues to this day. Adam was not created instantaneously or especially differently from the rest of other life creatures. Read the Quran carefully and objectively without the historical traditional interpretations that only fog the meaning and do nothing to clarify it, especially when several opposing interpretations are offered.

Is such a question even important? Are questions as to the allegorical import not more interesting? Should not the ethical and spiritual teachings of such a story be more the focus here?

@thedude9941 read the comment again... then understand the point of the joke in comparing "evolution" with the historical event of the "Bolshevik Revolution."

Would love there to be a follow up to this one, evolution versus the creation of Man as in the Quran and Bible as well is such an important topic especially for youngsters, where the standard narrative is that we have evolved from ape like creatures. There is so much evidence of human like creatures going back hundreds of thousands of years who buried their dead used fire and basic hunting tools who were they and how do they fit into the Adam and Eve in the garden narrative, I know Dr Swamidass touched upon this. The latest discovery is a grave yard in South Africa around a hundred thousand years old where human like creatures were buried and had primitive markings on their " graves ". Would love someone to make rational sense of all this

To be honest, This is the only main topic in which I have doubts about. I have no doubt about Quran to be word of Allah because it has a lot different kinds of evidence. But i had doubt how to fit Adam & eve (hawa) with evolution which I believe is somewhat true. Even though a lot Muslims just make fun of evolution & don't believe it, I couldn't deny few evidences it presents. So, thank you for clearing my doubt. I have a good understanding of biology, it would have been really great if you guys have discussed the scientific research in this video. I look into their website for that. Thank you. Zazakallah. You are doing a great job. May Allah give you a long life so you can enlighten us with all kind knowledge.

Sultan-Bin translation of the Quran of Adam-Eve story is the correct story. Quran Chapter 17 verse 60 And [remember, O Muhammad], when We told you, "Indeed, your Lord has enclosed the people [with a cyclic pattern of History]." And We did not make the vision [Al-Isra, your night journey] which We showed you [before] except to be a test [homework] for the people [to uncover its prior cycle in history] in connection with the tree [whose fruit Eve-Adam ate], the accursed [Ibless, who whispered Adam to eat] mentioned in the Quran. And We threaten the people [to uncover night journey of Eve-Adam from Al-Isra of Prophet Muhammad (saw)], but it [the lesson emanating from: Eve-Adam were created on earth, living on earth then Allah took them to heaven like Prophet Muhammad only to send them back with or without honour (clothed or naked) after setting up their status] increases them not except in great transgression. Quran Chapter 20 verse 117: Then We said, “O Adam! This [naivety of yours, 20:115] is an enemy to you and to your wife. So do not let it drive you both out of Paradise so that [O Adam] you experience [a naked (humiliating) return in contrast of a clothed (honoured) return]. Quran Chapter 20 verse 118: “Indeed you will not be hungry nor be naked [herein, that you used to be] therein [on earth before]. Quran Chapter 20 verse 119: and you will not suffer thirst nor from the heat of the Sun [herein that you used to] therein [on earth before]. Quran Chapter 20 verse 120: But Satan whispered to him, saying, “O Adam! Shall I show you the tree of eternity and a kingdom that does not fade away?” Quran Chapter 20 verse 121: And Adam and his wife ate of it, and their nakedness [sense of humiliation] became apparent to them, and they began to fasten over themselves from the leaves [remnant honour] of Paradise. And Adam disobeyed his Lord and erred. Quran Chapter 20 verse 122: Then his Lord chose him and turned to him in forgiveness and guided [him]. Quran Chapter 20 verse 123: [Allah] said, “Descend [naked instead of clothed], both of you, from here together [with Satan] as enemies to each other. Then when guidance comes to you from Me [to realize Quran 2:30], whoever follows My guidance will neither go astray nor experience disgrace [ever]. Quran Chp 7 Verse 20: But Satan whispered to them to show what was hidden from one another of their nakedness [sense of humiliation]. He said, "Your Lord did not forbid you this tree except that you become angels or become of the immortal." Quran Chp 7 Verse 22: So he made them fall, through deception. And when they tasted of the tree, their nakedness [sense of humiliation] became apparent to them, and they began to fasten together over themselves from the leaves [remnant honour] of Paradise. And their Lord called to them, "Did I not forbid you from that tree and tell you that Satan is to you a clear enemy?" Quran Chp 7 Verse 24: [Allah] said, "Descend [naked instead of clothed, adornment], being to one another enemies. You will find in the earth a residence and provision for your appointed stay [so you won’t suffer again there from the heat of the Sun, hunger, thirst, nakedness]." Quran Chp 7 Verse 26: O children of Adam, We have bestowed upon you clothing [sense of honour] to conceal your nakedness [contrasting the sense of humiliation] and as adornment. But the clothing [honour] of righteousness - that is best. That is from the signs of Allah that perhaps they will remember. Quran Chp 7 Verse 27: O Children of Adam, let not allow Satan to tempt you as [such naivety, 20:117] drove your parents out from paradise stripping of them from their clothing [honour] to show each other their nakedness [humiliation]. He and his tribe watch you from where you cannot see them. We have made satanic forces allies to those who do not believe;

6,000 years ago? 🤨

for a while science told us heart doesnt think ! and Quran is wrong refering to verse 7:179 > -- recently science tells us heart can thinks ! Recent work in the relatively new field of neurocardiology has firmly established that the heart is a sensory organ and an information encoding and processing center, with an extensive intrinsic nervous system that’s sufficiently sophisticated to qualify as a heart brain. Its circuitry enables it to learn, remember, and make functional decisions independent of the cranial brain. To everyone’s surprise, the findings have demonstrated that the heart’s intrinsic nervous system is a complex, self-organized system; its neuroplasticity, or ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections over both the short and long term, has been well demonstrated ! >>> so whenever science say something which is against Quran u know that they're lying ! ...

cant people say that there is a possibility that there are people alive today or that there were people alive at some point in history much after Adam and Eve that never interbred with their lineage?

I thought that the DNA study has concluded "out of Africa" theory, and "a black Eve?"

Good one. That’s another myth

In islamic traditions cain had taken his sister as his wife. Just like abel. According to this tradition Eve used to deliver twins boys and girls. Abel had a twin sister and cain also had a twin sister and aside from these 2 pairs of twins Eve also gave birth to a lot of twins. From them mankind started to grow in population. In islam, one of Allah’s Divine Names is “Al-khallāq”(الخلَّاق) the One who continually creates. So there’s no problem in Islam IF there are other sentient creatures who roams the Earth 🌍 before Adam and Eve… and I personally believe that the Earth will have other sentient beings after the Time of Adam’s Children. After the Day of Judgment… God creates whatever He wants… it is very easy for Him to put new sentient beings on Earth after humans are assigned either to Jannah(paradise) or Jahannam(Hell). Almighty Allah will always be creating new things as it is one of His Divine attributes to be perpetually Creating.

Cool hypothesis, now use the muslim naratives to simulate it and we can see how long actually from Adam and Eve to present. and how about the average age change for each generation of it, if you just plug the average potential survival base on current number, it can flip the equation I think.
