Do Muslims believe in evolution? He he refused to qualify a Muslim, do you think he could get away with it?

Do Muslims believe in evolution?

You can probably find a few random evolution-deniers of every faith, and even the very rare genuine secular anti-E. That said, they seem to be over 90 percent protestant evangelicals.

One of the major reasons that fundamentalist christians have for rejecting evolution is that it is incompatable with a literal belief in original sin. Because Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden, the entire human race for all future generations was condemned to hell. The only escape route is to believe that Jesus died for your (original) sins. Therefore all non-Christians are going to helll even if they were good people. In the Muslim version of the story, Allah forgives Adam so there is no original sin. Muslims would probably reject a strictly athiest Richard Dawkins type interpretation of evolution, but they would not oppose all forms of evolutionary theory with the same degree of intensity as fundamentalist Christians.
