Big Questions about the Human Being: Bioscience & Islam in Dialogue

Big Questions About the Human Being - Episode 2 | How did we come about? The Question of Human Origin

30 Sep 2025

Description

In this thought-provoking episode of Big Questions About the Human Being: Bioscience  and Islam in Dialogue, Dr. Aasim Padela explores one of humanity’s most fundamental  questions: Where did we come from?  Through a vivid thought experiment and real-world reflections, Dr. Padela and leading  scholars from around the world will consider how both religion and modern bioscience tell us  about human origin — from the Adamic creation narrative to Charles Darwin’s theory of  evolution.  In addition to hearing insights from bioscientists and Islamic scholars, we will reflect on a  compelling case study that reveals how beliefs about our origins can influence medical  decisions and ethics.  In this episode we examine:  ● Religious narratives of human creation across the Abrahamic faiths  ● The evolutionary account of human emergence  ● How beliefs about our origins shape our identity, ethics, and medical decisions  ● Real-life implications when patients and physicians hold different views on where we  came from  Join us for a deep dive into the intersection of religion, science, and the human journey.  Subscribe to follow the series and not miss an episode!  A Podcast by The Medic and The Mufti   A production of The Initiative on Islam and Medicine (II&M)   #Islam #Science #HumanOrigin #Evolution #Creation #Philosophy #Bioscience  #FaithAndScience
