> Muslim scholar theorized that god actively mutates the animals that want to adapt,

This theory is a pastiche trying to use the "good parts" from Darwinism and is clearly worse than the original

Anybody claiming this, just don't have a deep understanding of mutations. Mutations are not a god's gift. Maths and science predict that they happen randomly, and most of the time they carry terrible consequences.

Lets take for example the people that inherited the butterfly skin syndrome. With a so fragile skin that it rips from the shoulder to the waistline at the minimum brush. Do this girl or this boy wanted to "adapt" to have a insufferable pain all the days of this life?

I seriously doubt that anybody would have asked for that. Lets be serious.



I mean it predated Darwin by a lot, we shouldn't be surprised it has its faults.
