Abstract

The idea of creationism among Islamic theologians and in the Islamic tradition has a long history. The present study was an attempt to delineate Najafi Esfahani’ s views on the creation of mankind, and the inapplicability of the general rule of evolution among non-humans to human beings. By adopting the fundamentals of science, philosophy of religion and a specific hermeneutics, Najafi Esfahani concludes that the creation of human beings, as an exception to the general rule of evolution among non-humans, can be justified scientifically. He even considers the creation of mankind as a counter-example to Darwinist and Neo-Darwinist theories of evolution. From his viewpoint, one can differentiate between the creation of mankind and the evolution of non-humans, and consider creation as a special event. Najafi Esfahani critically analyzes the foundations of the atheist evolutionists’ beliefs, and prunes Darwin’ s theory from atheist connotations to acknowledge its scientific status as a theory in search of explaining the emergence of life on earth. The final outcome of his approach which is based on his assumptions originated from the philosophy of religion and science is that God created humankind and that the theory of evolution cannot be used as an explanation of the emergence of human beings.
