Darwin's Theory Of Evolution Contradicts Islamic Faith

Peace of God and His mercy to you.

I read some articles of a Christian member in deviantART.com about creationism. He has interesting thinking. And I agree with him that evolution theory is erroneous and that it contradicts faith.

Creationism
1. God is the One who created everything in the universe, including the human beings. Nothing is created incidentally. Every action causes a reaction. God says in the Quran:
Allah is the Creator of all things, and He is the Guardian and Disposer of all affairs. Az Zumar 39:62

And He says:
Say: "Allah is the Creator of all things: He is the One, the Supreme and Irresistible." The Thunder 13:16

2. The humans are the sons and daughters of Adam and Eve, Peace Be Upon Them. God says:
Behold thy Lord said to the angels: "I will create a vicegerent on earth." They said "Wilt thou place therein one who will make mischief therein and shed blood? Whilst we do celebrate Thy praises and glorify Thy holy (name)?" He said: "I know what ye know not." (30) And He taught Adam the names of all things; then He placed them before the angels and said: "Tell Me the names of these if ye are right." (31) They said: "Glory to Thee: of knowledge we have none, save that Thou hast taught us: in truth it is Thou who art perfect in knowledge and wisdom." (32) He said: "O Adam! tell them their names." When he had told them their names, Allah said: "Did I not tell you that I know the secrets of heaven and earth, and I know what ye reveal and what ye conceal?" (33) And behold We said to the angels: "Bow down to Adam"; and they bowed down: not so Iblis: he refused and was haughty: he was of those who reject Faith. (34) We said: "O Adam! dwell thou and thy wife in the Garden and eat of the bountiful things therein as (where and when) ye will; but approach not this tree, or ye run into harm and transgression." (35) Then did Satan make them slip from the (Garden) and get them out of the state (of felicity) in which they had been. We said: "Get ye down all (ye people) with enmity between yourselves. On earth will be your dwelling place and your means of livelihood for a time." (36) Then learnt Adam from his Lord words of inspiration and his Lord turned toward him; for He is Oft-Returning Most Merciful. (37) We said: "Get ye down all from here; and if, as is sure, there comes to you guidance from Me" whosoever follows My guidance on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. (38) "But those who reject Faith and belie Our Signs, they shall be Companions of the Fire; they shall abide therein." (39) The Cow

3. God told us how He created Adam and how he creates us:
O mankind! if ye have a doubt about the Resurrection, (consider) that We created you out of dust, then out of sperm then out of a leech-like clot, then out a morsel of flesh, partly formed and partly unformed, in order that We may manifest (Our Power) to you; and We cause whom We will to rest in the wombs for an appointed term, then do We bring you out as babes, then (foster you) that ye may reach your age of full strength; and some of you are called to die, and some are sent back to the feeblest old age, so that they know nothing after having known (much). And (further), thou seest the earth barren and lifeless, but when We pour down rain on it, it is stirred (to life), it swells, and it puts forth every kind of beautiful growth (in pairs). (5) The Pilgrimage

And God also says:
O mankind! reverence your Guardian-Lord Who created you from a single person, created, of like nature, his mate and from them twain scattered (like seeds) countless men and women;― fear Allah, through Whom ye demand your mutual (rights) and (reverence) the wombs (that bore you): for Allah ever watches over you. (1) The Women

And He says:
He it is who created you from clay, and then decreed a stated term (for you). And there is in His presence another determined term; yet ye doubt within yourselves!. (2) Al Anaam

And He says:
He Who has made everything which He has created most Good. He began the creation of man with (nothing more than) clay (7) As Sajda

And the Almighty says:
He created man from sounding clay like unto pottery, (14) The Merciful

The Prophet Muhammad, Peace Be Upon Him, said:
God created Adam, Peace Be Upon Him, and his length was of 60 hands. Source: Islamweb

And he also said:
And every one who enters Paradise will look like Adam. Source: Islamweb

The Prophet did also say:
The best day in which the sun rose is Friday and it is when Adam was created and landed on Earth and when he died and when the Day of Judgment will be. Source: Islamweb

So we all descended from Adam and Eve, Peace Be Upon Them. And we were destined to be of different nations. God says:
O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise each other). Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things). (13) Al Hujurat

We were created to be of different colors and speaking different languages. Still, we are not different - we are human beings. The Prophet, Peace Be Upon Him, said:
All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over black nor does a black have any superiority over white except by piety and good action. Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every Muslim and that the Muslims constitute one brotherhood. Nothing shall be legitimate to a Muslim which belongs to a fellow Muslim unless it was given freely and willingly. Do not, therefore, do injustice to yourselves. Source: Wikipedia

3. Every human being dies, whether strong or weak, healthy or sick, because of disasters or not. God says:
He Who created Death and Life, that He may try which of you is best in deed: and He is the Exalted in Might, Oft-Forgiving― (2) Al Mulk

4. God created the humans to worship Him, and He is the Greatest that He made us all honored than the apes. God says:
We have honoured the sons of Adam; provided them with transport on land and sea; given them for sustenance things good and pure; and conferred on them special favours, above a great part of Our Creation. (70) Al Isra

And He also said:
We have indeed created man in the best of moulds, (4) At Tin

In the end...
It is great to be special. God expects us to take good care of Earth and what is on it. He chose us!
