|| The Creation of Prophet Adam in Evolutionary Terms ||
Ahmet Hamdi Akseki (d. 1951) was a prominent Turkish scholar who once served as the President of Religious Affairs of Turkey during the early period of Republic of Turkey. He was of the opinion that the Theory of evolution and Islāmic position on Adamic creation do not contradict according to the classical Muslim theology. In this short YouTube clip, Ustādh Usman Ali focuses on Akseki’s position on Adamic creation via gradual evolutionary processes with some of his personal thoughts.
A discussion on Akseki’s position on Adamic creation can be found in the following paper:
