Even atheist scientists get attacked for criticising this (ft. Subboor Ahmad)

Why would even atheists get called “creationists” for questioning Darwin? And what made one of Darwinism’s best-known Muslim critics change his own mind? Subboor Ahmad, known for Darwinian Delusions, joins Dr Hamza Andreas Tzortzis on OnGuard for a MASTERCLASS about evolution, Islam and the assumptions behind the arguments. From Adam and common ancestry to consciousness, “junk DNA” and intelligent design, Subboor challenges what he sees as dogmatism around neo-Darwinism—and shares his own unexpected starting point as a “Muslim Darwinist”. They also explore a question facing many Muslim students: what happens when what you’re taught in the classroom seems to conflict with what you believe? The conversation closes with a different question: are we asking the Qur’an for something it was never intended to provide?
