It guides the reader through the different variables that have played a part in the ongoing dialogue between Muslim creationists and evolutionists. This work views the discussion through the lens of Al-Ghaza?li? (1058-1111), a widely-known and well-respected Islamic intellectual from the medieval period. By understanding Al-Ghaza?li? as an Ash'arite theologian, a particular strand of Sunni? theology, his metaphysical and hermeneutic ideas are taken to explore if and how much Neo-Darwinian evolution can be accepted. It is shown that his framework can be used to reach an alignment between Islam and Neo-Darwinian evolution. This book offers a detailed examination that seeks to offer clarity if not agreement in the midst of an intense intellectual conflict and polarity amongst Muslims. As such, it will be of great interest to scholars of Science and Religion, Theology, Philosophy of Religion, Islamic Studies, and Religious Studies more generally. 410 0$aRoutledge science and religion series. 517 $aIslam and Evolution 606 $aCreation (Islam) 606 $aEvolution (Biology)$xReligious aspects$xIslam 615 0$aCreation (Islam) 615 0$aEvolution (Biology)$xReligious aspects$xIslam. 676 $a181.5 700 $aMalik$b Shoaib Ahmed$01271696 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910476755003321 996 $aIslam and Evolution$92995749 997 $aUNINA
