in every field you shall find contradicting theories in master level with experts having doubts and critisisms for one or the other theory
That is not called 'theory' in scientific language. That is called hypothesis. A hypothesis is something that has little to no evidence in its support and thus there are different opinions. When considerable evidence is accumulated, it becomes a theory. If it can be expressed in mathematical form, it is a law. Evolution is a theory because it is not mathematical. Gravity is a law because it can be expressed mathematically.

But still, if there is any scientific theory that contradicts evolution, please enlighten me about it.

As for doubts, I don't think there is any scientist who would that he/she is 100% sure of anything at all. That, again, is the beauty of science.

You're mistaken here. General Theory of Relativity and Special Theory of Relativity are both expressed mathematically and are still considered theories even though they have been verified to give correct results and their predictions have come true. Newton's law of gravity has been discredited at subatomic level and it gives less accurate measurements of movements of Heavenly bodies than the General Theory of Relativity. The word 'law' just remains as a tradition. There isn't any co-relation between law and mathematical expression. There are even biological laws such as All life form is based on Genes. All life forms has hydrocarbons, nucleic acids..
Anyway how's your prep?

Yeah well, I guess I'll have to agree with that. 'Law' is a rather loose term often used for a theory too. But regardless of that, general attitude of people toward evolution is terribly annoying.

Prep's all right man. Just want to get over with it.

Yeah I can see that. It would be interesting to note that Ibn-e-Khaldun presented a theory of evolution back in the fourteenth century.
Best of luck for exams!

Yeah several medieval Muslim scientists/philosophers held views which were pretty close to modern evolutionary theory back in the day but apparently we are too lost today to have any regard for science and scientific method.

Thanks. Same to you.

Why do you think we are not ready to accept the scientific facts just because they clash with our preconceived notions of creation? meray khayal se to islam aor evolution main koi tazad naheen hay and several scholars also seem to agree on this point, although not the hardcore ones.

aap logon ka kya khayal hay? Why are we afraid of taking scientific facts as they are instead of denying them even though there is sufficient evidence?
Learn how the man was 'created' (not evolved)? With sand from different places on earth. The Izrael a.s. himself took it. The whole process is written in books.

Mafhoom from a Tafseer clearly shows 'son of man is man and son of animal an animal' that is an attribute of Allah that He is the 'Creator'.

You can consult a religious Scholar and a Scientist yourself and let not yourself go astray. FB is a good medium.
