You were requesting a video between two creationists who have no idea what they're talking about, without the critical oversight of an actual expert?

@@Borz.0011 thats you bro
Salam alaykoum,
We received a call yesterday from a sister on our French toll-free number on Islam, she is doubting Islam because of the theory of evolution. As she knows English I directed her to the amazing and groundbreaking work of Brother Subboor Ahmad who is a specialist on this issue.
Thank you very much brother Paul for hosting those great discussions on your channel !
May Allah bless you both !
May Allah keep her firm in Islam
Maybe you should point her to someone who can actually falsify the theorie of evolution. Oh, wait...
@@grnzrn cry more
His channel is definitely one of the best references allahumma barik!
@@grnzrn Evolution isn’t falsifiable.
A part 2 is needed. So much more to discuss. May Allah swt reward you all for this excellent discussion.
There's nothing to discuss. Evolution is a proven fact.
@@ServeGodAlone Muslims are weak exactly because of that: uneducated, refusing science, childish.
@@u.canthinkpositively I apologize for what I wrote a month ago earlier, perhaps I was a bit off-balance when I wrote that. And I don't see right now what I responded to, perhaps that triggered me somehow.
Anyway, the evidence for evolution is absolutely overwhelming, there are mountains of evidence for humans being part of evolution from common origin. This means, unfortunately, that a lot of religions have been proven false: All religions that claim humans were separately created.
I understand the evidence, so therefore I understand that evolution from common origin is true. It doesn't have anything to do with authorities like Dawkins or any kind of feelings or social needs, it's just understanding of facts.
@@u.canthinkpositively sure, among the mountains of evidence for human evolution, we have the genetic evidence where we can see how genes have been copied along an evolutionary tree. For instance, we have the fused chromosome two in humans that are two chromosomes in apes, but where the fused chromosome in humans retains remnants of an extra middle and extra "ends" within the chromosome. We also have e.g. endogenous retrovirus genome remnants, where we can see how some such extra material has been inserted before we split from various common ancestors, and some after. There's literally millions of such evidences in our DNA.
We can also use the same molecular clock analysis to estimate time since lineages split, that also works for other species and with subspecies.
Other evidence involve vestigial features, like the grasp reflex in babies, serving no function anymore but is very useful for ape babes to hold on to the mother's fur while she has both hands free for climbing in trees. We also have remnant muscles that can move our ears slightly, that in some monkeys are used to direct the ears toward sound.
Then we have common flaws, like the recurrent laryngeal nerve that due to evolutionary history takes a bad detour from the brain around the heart and then back to our larynxes, introducing a signalling delay and a slight vulnerability.
Then we have fossil evidence of human evolution.
All these lines of evidence can be expanded upon and each contains huge amounts of separate proofs.
Ustādh Suboor Ahmed is very smart and intelligent. His videos about debunking human evolution are awesome and very helpful for those suffering with Shubuhat (Doubts).
May Allah ﷻ bless Ustādh Suboor with happiness, health, and longevity. Ameen!
How has he "debunked" human evolution? Subboor has no expertise, his words sound like babble to anyone even slightly educated.
Amin.
Since scientists agree that humans have evolved from common origin and since the evidence is very clear and overwhelming, everybody who contradicts that will be regarded as kindof d-mb. This includs Suboor and yourself.
humans share 98.8 of their DNA with chimps
@@jesan733we went from being descendants of apes, to having a common ancestor with them. And we still don’t have the transitional fossils between us and our common ancestor.
I’m so glad Br Paul you pushed back on the need for evolution to be a battleground against new atheists purely for sociological reasons. I think our community is educated enough to take the more spiritually watertight perspective you presented :) JazakAllahu Khairan both for the discussion.
If there's a battleground here, it's muslims vs biologists. But biologists generally don't care about your denialism, so you're fighting science with disinterested "opponents".
Pure effort of seeking truth. Dear Paul and Subboor, I thank you.
Pure effort of seeking to deny the truth. Humans are part of evolution from common descent; the evidence is overwhelming.
I love how comfortable Paul is with Suboor. I love when he talks more in his interviews.
"The mantle of science is being missused to promote metaphysical naturalism when it's description is only to methodological naturalism" atom bomb of truth right at the very start
Brother Subboor is indeed an elite on this issue, glad you invited him, there's so much to process in this 1 and half hour I'll have to rewatch multiple times as per usual when it's Subboor on lol but also the mention of NDEs is very intriguing stuff.
He is a star 🌟
But many of the world's leading scientists and philosophers of science are saying precisely that science does lend support to metaphysical naturalism. This includes Subboor's own source such as Puggliucci and Ruse.
If this is in Subboor's opinion, 'misuse', then why is Subboor pretending to speak on behalf of the 'academic understanding'? Why doesn't he admit that he is instead challenging a widely held academically respectable point of view?
You must not have listened to the video. Appeals to authority (big scientists believe X) or appeals to majority (most believe Y) are fallacies. The whole episode is about why prevailing ideas are flawed. Ironically, that’s what happens in scientific paradigm shifts. One minute everyone believes in one theory, then cracks form, and then people realize they were wrong. I’m not even gonna touch the absurd idea that “science” makes metaphysical claims. Do you even know what you’re talking about?
Created mo to be a con fake character....using planted fake science
@@AntiKaratekid science doesn't make metaphysical claims, yet science proving evolution from common origin and science not finding any support for miracles still lends support to metaphysical naturalism. Lending support and making claims aren't the same thing, exactly. We as onlookers see the science and draw conclusions without science making definite claims.
Amazing guest & interview. I really learned a lot from watching Suboors content, in regards to debunking Darwinism. Can’t recommend him enough.
May Allah preserve you both 🤲🏾
Thanks!
Next you can learn a lot from flat earthist channels, in regards to debunking a round earth. That's equally d-mb.
Masha Allah what a brilliant discussion. I love @Subboor Ahmad fi-ilah (for Allah), since I laid eyes on him 4-5 years ago and I've learned alot from him as a practicing Scientist myself. He's true to his discipline, relays information accurately and truthfully to the best of his ability. A true مؤمن. May Allah strengthen us all as an ummah and allow us to have these differences in theological and metaphysical approaches, as he does with Shoaib Malik, and as Islam allows (!), cordially and respectfully.
Looking at how he relays the information surrounding Junk-DNA does not exactly inspire confidence in his academic competence.
Why not just exit islam? It clearly doesn't align with science, so why try to shoehorn it in?
One of the biggest drawbacks of evolution is that it fails to explain why we don’t see evidences of evolution on other planets i.e the potential for life on other planets to originate and adapt to their unique conditions, which is from inorganic to organic (not yet proven)and than develop by adapting to that planet’s unique conditions and as complex as our planet earth.
wow never really thought of this perspective...thank you
We haven’t discovered another planet with life yet. So the theory has not been tested.
I think you gotta learn about Miller's experiment......
Your question is borderline stupid
I think this has more to do with abiogenesis than evolution. Abiogenesis deals with the origin of life and the answer maybe that life is very rare which seems to be the case.

"The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution" by Richard Dawkins is possibly the best book for you right now.
This brother Suboor is a gem! Though younger in age he always astonished me in knowledge logic and presentation skills since I found him years ago in YT. He navigates easily through many of the difficult terrains in the field of science, especially related to evolution and philosophy, most other scholars find difficult. Years of my reading and explorations made it easy fir me understand him better but it was always a great experience listening to him. May Allah swt protect him and increase his knowledge, efforts and success. Ameen. I wish to meet him personally one day Insha Allah if I get a chance.
Alhamdullilah first commenter. May Allah bless your work.
Fantastic video at much needed time to face Atheism.. may Allah guide us all.

amazing thank you brothers paul subboor and jazakAllahhukhair.
The point about methodological naturalism vs philosophical naturalism couldn't be more spot on. Having studied medicine at Cambridge I can attest that people would be confused when asking me about evolution and scientific theories and fail to understand this is NOT the same as the metaphysical naturalism that they would be erroneously equated to! Great upload!
If u don't mindme asking, what branch of medicine you v studied?
Can you actually provide an example of Dawkins conflating methodological and philosophical naturalism? I keep hearing that he does. But have yet to see an example.

There is one verse in the Quran that describes the origin of the universe followed by the origin of life in a few phrases. It appears to describe the transition from chemistry to biology at an abstract level.
Could you share the verses?

May God bless you, a valuable and very important topic nowadays.
I would love to see a debate on your channel brother Paul between Stephen Meyer and Shoaib Ahmad Malik whereby each party would have the fair opportunity to present their case and to respond to the objections of the other.
Subboor was among the first few "Boys of Speakers Corner" that I watched on YT during the lockdowns.
MashaAllah Saboor knowledge grew a lot.
Great vid guys
Brilliant discussion.
I'm not going to watch it now, but very soon during iftar I will watch this. It will be the best iftar of my life as I get to watch Paul Williams will doing iftar.
Great discussion!

Been waiting for this. Thank you, sir Paul.
Love you Paul ❤
I was expecting some pretty bigoted stuff on here based on my experience growing up evangelical, but I never learned the distinction between metaphysical and methodological naturalism. Thanks for the information!
Love you two brothers
Need another one with Suboor
Just watched the whole 1 hour 24 minutes, i just learned so much from you sir paul.
Daniel haqiqatjou, Muhammad hijab and you are my favourite youtubers. Im 20 now, thanks for the guidance, i always come here whenever islam makes me confused, you guys always made islam more sense and factual. ❤❤
Can you give a small gist yes islam denies we eveolved from apes and fish before that but there's clearly proof of homo erectus and humans with arched backs slightly so what's the end conclusion?
Please read this book: "The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution".
@@jesan733this book is not a 4,8 billion years old book is just a man that says something you can just watch a video about it and become the same infos so no he don’t need to read it👌
@@Gokuwird50 I think this young man needs something more than a video to help him resist islamic teachings on evolution.
@@jesan733my friend I’m just saying no one need a book every atheist has a video about it so he don’t need to read a book or buy one and don’t forget that Muslim can’t lie about there own religion that is a huge problem so speak like they are speaking the truth
Thank you very much 😊
Too good wheres the next part

this episode is pure gold
Pretty Interesting Discussion .
Ma she Allah brother Paul, I'm saving these videos for after Ramadan
You're working great sir, try inviting Hamza Yusuf sir too on your channel.
Firstly I'm not a clever man,
I'm sure if I had a debate to prove that 2+2=4 with a clever debater I would loose.
Well religion can be seen as over simplistic, take Genisis, well we don't know so God did it and all in 6 days and come the 7th day he needed a rest.
What God needs a rest??
Very laughable if you take things literally.
The Qur'an talks about sending man to earth, so did man exist in a spiritual form before man came to earth?
Chapter 21 v 30
21:30) Did the unbelievers (who do not accept the teaching of the Prophet) not realize that the heavens and the earth were one solid mass, then We tore them apart,28 and We made every living being out of water?29 Will they, then, not believe (that We created all this)?
So here we have the Big Bang and the origins of life in water, which Darkins would say is true.
So this was simply a lucky guess by an illerate nomadic tribesman right????
I'm old enough at nearly 70 to see how the West has been flushed into the sewer of depravity and it grieves me deeply.
Allah has set man free to do and believe what ever he wants.
We now have lies made to look like truth, I can decide right now im a woman, a horse whatever and the stupid godless governments of the day say freedom of expression.
So can I commit a heinous crime and when brought to justice decide I'm not a human, I'm a donkey or even a 3 year old child so do t know better.
Great Britain, GB, rule Britannia and all that has now become GB GODLESS BRITAIN.
I will get shot for saying this but the only hope is ISLAM.
The church of England has now decided God got it wrong and same sex marriage is ok.
The only churches doing OK are mega churches that are all show and entertain people who think Jesus was a cool dude in a rock band.
Well they killed the church but they simply swapped religion.
The shopping mall is the house of worship and the Holy book is TV, radio and social media.
Excellent discussion, but it was too Short 😑
Lovely to brother subboor and paul together MashaAllah this was very informative video.
Thank you for calling Saboor for this lecture.. in the earlier discussion with that guy from UAE on this topic of Evolution he was just trying to be a reformist/deformist by proposing that Allah created Adam AS but already there were other humans like Adam AS before or along side Adam AS who came into being automatically through Darwinian concept of evolution
Right. The Quran is clear about Adam (AS) being the first human. Modern Muslims are under pressure to blindly accept evolution. That explains the ridiculous attempts to "reinterpret" clear Quranic verses by coming up with "creative interpretations" that are laughable quiet frankly.
You mean it’s possible to believe in Islam and evolution? Evolution says that we share the same ancestors with the apes while the Quran says that Allah created Adem and Hava.
@@mhmmd731 there is not just one type of evolution theory..
You should listen to this and other work of Saboor
@@mhmmd731 and I don't believe that we share our ancestry with apes.. I believe Allah created Adam and Hawa AS as the first humans and they are the first parents of the entire human kind

I am all for ID . Myers books are the flagships of ID. However I am very disappointed in Myers views on judo- Christianity as the platform for modern science. Despite several prompts over the years ( including prompts by Paul on blogging theology ) he refuses to acknowledge immense Arabic / Muslim contribution as the backbone for modern Renaissance. To me this is akin to intellectual dishonesty. Probity is very important to me whatever field of knowledge one belongs to.
Good points Dr Suhail.
@@BloggingTheology Thanks Paul- just call me Suhail 🙂
It's pretty much impossible to write such major works positive to ID while being intellectually honest, since evolution is so clearly true.

keep up the good work Subboor. JAK
Is interesting about your comment regarding NDEs. This phenomenon is certainly something that Science could not explain because it is not materialize just like our consciousness. So that is one thing Science can't explain but of course, most of the things considered supernatural are dismissed as simply individual experience/hallucinations.
May Allah bless you all.
