The American Islamic Congress and Project Nur Present Science & Islam, “Is there a clash between Islam and the theory of evolution?”

The fascinating dialogue between science and Christianity has gone on for centuries. But we seldom hear a public debate on intersection of Islam and science. That is why American Islamic Congress and Project Nur have launched a groundbreaking series of public dialogues to illuminate the relationships Muslims have with the sciences. This fall’s dialogue at Boston University will focus on one of the most contentious issues in the field - evolution. Top scholars from across the sciences will meet to explore how men and women of Muslim backgrounds reconcile evolutionary theory with scripture, theology, and personal belief - or whether they do so at all.
