| Résumé: | A Muslim scientist engaged in interaction between theology and science needs to remain completely faithful to the Holy Qur'an. This also applies to understanding the historical and spiritual dimensions of Adam and Eve. When Islamic scholars ("ulama") differ on subject details, this author chooses the position closest to that suggested by the scientific data. This method, then, allows incorporation of facts drawn from skeletal material of early Homo sapiens who could well have provided our ancestral physical form. This article tenders a parsimonious and probable theory that accommodates all relevant Qur'anic statements in conjunction with the scientific data. |
