Intelligent Design: What do Muslims believe?

Wednesday December 21, 2005
A Pennsylvania court has ruled against teaching "intelligent design" in the classroom (read a CNN report on the ruling). With the intricacy and balance of our universe, is it so far-fetched that some sort of "intelligent cause" could be behind it all?

Muslims believe that Allah (God) created the heavens and the earth in perfect harmony and balance, and that He continues to reign over His creation. Most Muslims find no conflict between this belief and current scientific theories regarding the creation of earth and ongoing evolution.
