Those who
are dealing with the science of genetics know that
the family trees of the individuals and societies
can be obtained after doing detailed work by means
of this science. This means that the answer to the
question ‘’Who were our roots, our
ancestors?’’ is given only by the science of
genetics. Moreover, the data obtained tells us
more and more about one topic and says ‘’Oh! You,
the son of man, your ancestors were the pre human
kind (named as hominids)* who had lived in the
middle of Africa’’
Many of
the individuals who claimed that they were nobel as
well as the religious ones who were not aware of
the evolution process, have rejected the
transformation from metal-plant-human being.
In doing so, they also have rejected Darwin’s
rule of ‘’genetics’. They have done so in spite
of the fact that the Gavs-ý azam (the
greatest spiritual person of his time,
‘’the Supreme Helper) of the period
Hz. Ibrahim Hakký Erzurimi
had stated that the human beings have
descended from the apes. They said ‘’Our
ancestors cannot be apes, because this does not suit
muslimisim.’’
The
information which makes the religious ones oppose
is the statement of ‘ahsen-i takvim /the
best of images’ in the chapter of At-tin (The
Fig). Taking into consideration only this part of
the chapter is no doubt the work of the ones who
are unable to read/perceive/understand the system.
In actual fact, what has been created perfectly
is the dimension of the strings=the dimension of
the beautiful names.
Moreover,
both in the Koran and the Bible there is a statement
‘’Allah has created man on his own image’’.
This statement does not mean that the human being
(the homo) resembles Allah who is beyond the
concept of time and place and who is the absolute
power.
Anyhow, I
do not want to diverge from the subject.
So, let
us continue with this main subject :-
As we
have mentioned above, it was not easy for the human
being to emerge. This was only possible after
countless human like creatures (hominids) came into
existence and disappeared. They too had their own
struggles for their lives, their own life styles and
they had a civilisitation of their own.
The human
being (homo) as you would appreciate was not created
in its present state. For millions of years it
waited for the mutations that would make him
advance. It really took a long time (for the
brain) to go up from the 400 gr brain of a
chimpanzee to the 1600gr brain of the human being.
It would
be right to say that the macrosefalin gene had
mutations due to the astrological influences
(angelic influences) and in the end the structure of
the skull achieved its present form.
The size
of the brain depends on the size of the skull and
only after this stage of development the human
being with a developed brain (the homo) has emerged
which got separated from the hominid structure and
became the caliph of Allah under the name of the
nabi Adam.
Regarding
the evolution that we have mentioned above below
there is an excerpt taken from an article which
says ‘’Today, in the evolution line going from
the big Ape without tail to the human being
(Homo), the most important characteristics that
differentiate the evolved, developed primates from
the other living things are: the capability of the
five hand fingers to grasp (especially, the
developed thumb), the sense of smell, a developed
sense of sight which perceives the depth too, the
nose has left its duty of touch (sense of touch)
and the hands have taken it over. Most important of
all, the brain has reached a complicated structure
which is able to process and cover both the concrete
and the abstract ideas and it has the ability to
evaluate the contradictory and complicated
structures. Another important point is the parental
relation established with the baby that has evolved
after the sexual relation as well as being
sociable, having a social life with the other
members of the society.’’(1)
We can
give as an example for mutation the women who do not
hesitate to get operated for several times in order
to make themselves beautiful.
It is
possible that in time the scientific research on
this subject will influence the religious beliefs
and the cultural norms. As our world view, our
vision broadens and as we try to renew ourselves
we are able to catch this difference easily. I
have an article on this subject that has been
published in several places named as ‘’Science is
influencing the Religion’’.
When you
read it you can see the mentality.
May you
remain with love and may Allah be your helper and
supporter....
*The
hominids are the members of the biological family
Hominidae (the great apes), which includes humans,
chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans
