It is necessary to the happiness of man that he be mentally faithful to himself. Infidelity does not consist in believing, or in disbelieving; it consists in professing to believe what one does not believe. It is impossible to calculate the moral mischief, if I may so express it, that mental lying has produced in society. When man has so far corrupted and prostituted the chastity of his mind, as to subscribe his professional belief to things he does not believe, he has prepared himself for the commission of every other crime. [Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason]
Evolution and Biology: A cross for Christianity:
The field of biology has struck a fatal blow to the concept of Trinity and other dogmas in Christianity on several counts. Firstly, there is the fundamental principle in biology “Like begets like,” which clearly refutes the concept of son ship of God. In the Holy Quran it is expressed in the words, “How can Allah have a son when He has no consort?” (Al Quran 6:102) Man’s genetic code is made of 46 chromosomes and God is transcendent and beyond time, space and matter.
Secondly, the concept of Original Sin is completely incompatible with the fundamental laws of bio logy including the principles of gene inheritance and the facts supporting the theory of evolution. Read further in Alislam-eGazette.

The articles above mostly examine Christianity against the matrix of Darwinian evolution. To review the Quranic perspective of evolution read one of the parts of the book Revelation, Rationality, Knowledge and Truth:

The Holy Quran proposes Guided or Theistic Evolution. It is guided by the Hidden, the Arabic term in the Quran is ‘Al Baatin,’ Transcendent God, Who is beyond time, space and matter.
