Signs of the Quran - Biology

Embryology - Difference to Animals

"...then We developed out of it another creature: so blessed be Allah the Best to create!"

Surah Al-Muminun, 23 Ayahs 12-14

"And well ye knew those amongst you who transgressed in the matter of the Sabbath; We said to them: "Be ye apes despised and rejected."

Surah Al-Baqara Surah 2 Ayah 65

"Say: "Shall I point out to you something much worse than this (as judged) by the treatment it received from Allah? Those who incurred the curse of Allah and His wrath those of whom some He transformed into apes and swine those who worshipped Evil; these are (many times) worse in rank and far more astray from the even Path!"

Surah Al-Maida Surah 5 Ayah 60

"When in their insolence they transgressed (all) prohibition We said to them: "Be ye apes despised and rejected."

Surah Al-A'raf Surah 7 Ayah 166

Despite of the similar anatomy, Embryogenesis (embryological development) and Phylogenesis (development of organisms across time or evolution) man has been made as another creature. This is a sign of Allah and he has accomplished the complex creation of the brain and body of man, which is unique among living beings. The picture below shows how similar our Embryogenesis is to animals and still we are converted into another creature at the end of it, which is said in the Ayah above.

Still the human genome is very close to that of apes and pigs (98% and 95%). And there is clear evidence in modern Palaeontology (fossil research) which states that Apes are close cousins of men and that they descend from a branch of the Homo genus or Australopithecine. They must have gone back to the trees after having walked upright. This makes clear why they are genetically so close to us. Pigs on the other hand are genetically and anatomically very close to us as can be seen from the structure of their interior organs and their skins. They can even be organ donors to man, if the human immune reaction is suppressed. Thus the above Ayah which suggests that Apes and pigs are a degenerated form of humans is absolutely true.

So rather than us having evolved from animals via Ape-like creatures, we were created separate from animals and the higher primates and pigs descend from us. This is completely in line with genetical and palaeonthological as well as anatomical evidence. A test for scientist, a trap for evolutionists.
