Big Questions About the Human Being - Episode 2 | How did we come about? The Question of Human Origin
30 Sep 2025
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.
