And yet Darwin gets all the credit. “Islamic science” or “Arabic science” is the science that was developed in the Islamic world during the Islamic Golden Age (750 CE- 1258 CE). Indian, Iranian, and especially Greek knowledge were translated into Arabic, and these translations acted springboards for further scientific advances.
Many Muslim thinkers and scientists proposed and accepted the theory of evolution, and it was even taught at some schools at the time. However, it was also believed that God dictated this entire process. Nowadays, the situation is quite complex. While some deny evolution because evolution denies the Adamic descent of human beings since it is unsupported by empirical evidence, others claim that nowhere in the Qur’an is it suggested that evolution can’t exist under the eye of God.
