This article analyses the claim by apologists that the qur'an and Darwin's theory of evolution are compatible.
21:30
It is widely believed that life originated in water. But there is no standard model of the origin of life. Some of the models without water are listed below.
The "deep-hot biosphere" model says that life first developed not on the surface of the Earth, but several kilometers below the surface. The discovery in the late 1990s of nanobes in deep rock might be seen as evidence. It is now well established that microbial life is plentiful up to 5km below the surface f Earth.[1]
There is a "Primitive extraterrestrial organisms" model, which finds support in the studies of Martian meteorites found in Antarctica and in studies of some microbes' survival in outer space.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8] Studies which apply the equivalent of Moore's Law to evolution have proposed that life began 9.7 billion years ago, billions of years before the Earth was formed. Life may have started "from systems with single heritable elements."[9][10]
Different forms of life with variable origin processes may have appeared simultaneously in the early history of Earth.[11]
71:13-14
After this verse, the topic abruptly changes to seven heavens. There is no evidence given anywhere to indicate that these stages refer to evolution. The intended topic may have been embryology as those are also referred to as stages of man.
