Evolution and Science Education

This article reconceptualizes entropy not as a metaphysical substance but as a structural constraint that shapes the formation, energetic cost, and durability of records. It links the coarse-grained—and typically irreversible—flow of time to questions of moral responsibility and divine justice. Drawing on the second l…

Islam and Modern Cosmology examines how contemporary cosmological theories intersect with Islamic theology, exploring how modern science and Islamic thought can be brought into meaningful dialogue. It begins with a concise overview of modern cosmology, followed by an exploration of the Qur'an's cosmological perspectiv…

The present research aims at exploring whether Muslim university students in the Netherlands appreciate the biological theory of evolution (BTE). Appreciation of BTE is not only limited with acceptance or understanding of BTE but it also considers the value given to the theory. In Western countries, although there are…

Bu çalışma, modern biyoteknolojinin en tartışmalı alanlarından biri olan insan klonlamasını, özellikle “Tanrı’nın rolünü oynama” iddiası çerçevesinde İslâm kelâmı perspektifinden ele almayı amaçlamaktadır. Genetik bilimindeki hızlı ilerlemeler, klonlamayı yalnızca teknik veya tıbbî bir uygulama olmaktan çıkararak yara…

Developing tree-thinking skills is vital for achieving a deep understanding of evolutionary processes, advancing scientific literacy, and strengthening core biological knowledge. This study explores an inquiry-based activity where students use LEGO bricks as model taxa to construct and interpret phylogenetic trees. Th…

This paper argues for a radical reconceptualization of "evolution" not as a sub-field of biology, but as a meta-science that unifies all disciplines by narrating the "true scientific life story" of every existing entity. It introduces a four-dimensional model of reality—adding "Evolution" and "Energy" to the tradition…

This study aims to interpret the holistic journey of creation in light of both scientific inquiry and theological thought. The Science of Evolution is considered a discipline that accurately explains the true-life stories (life cycles) and transformation processes of all creatures (animate, inanimate, etc.) through sc…

This paper engages with James Sterba’s arguments from an Islamic theological perspective, particularly drawing on the Mu‘tazilite tradition. It focuses on three central themes: (1) the position of God in the face of horrendous evils, (2) the relationship between divine command theory and moral objectivity, and (3) the…
