The theory of evolution was initially an islamic theory but atheists in their fight against christianity had to go and desecrate it. Islam asserts that everything evolved or came about from water & earth up until the point where the lower man had developed but that lower man had no free will.

Thats when The almighty created Adam who from an outside perspective looked like as if he had evolved from the lower man but upon closer inspection one would realizes that what made him different to the rest of whats on earth is the fact that he had free will unlike any of the other creations except of course the djinn...

From a scientific point of view, what links the so called lower man and humans as we are today is in fact still missing. The great missing link which atheists claimed would be discovered by now yet still to be found and indeed will never be found because of its non existence.. This is the miracle of Allah(swt) because Adam was created independent of everything else even though he shared nearly everything else of the previous creations in terms of dna. Something set him aside from everything else which really is a miracle.

If atheist scientists were to be honest with themselves. theyd tell us that perhaps in another billion years monkeys and pigs will have free will but they wont say it because of its absurdity. Then how on Earth do humans have free will when nothing previous to him did? AllahHuAkbar!
