AB In response to Shoaib Malik's Islam and Evolution, this paper compares Christian and Muslim views on six oft perceived conflicts between neo-Darwinian evolution and religion. These concern (1) holy scripture and hermeneutics, (2) evolutionary evil, (3) human uniqueness (4) human origins, (5) divine providence in relation to evolutionary chance, and (6) the origins of religion. Whereas stunning similarities surface, we also find remarkable differences, which lead to some questions for Malik. These pertain to the status of the Qu‘ran, the seriousness of evolutionary suffering, and the possible consequences of neo-Darwinian evolution for theological anthropology and the doctrine of revelation.
