Is there a problem here like there is with a considerable number of Christians?

Can anyone provide cites on the Islamic response to evolution?

Or is Islam more amenable to Science than Christianity?

So far I’ve seen no evidence that evolution is a problem for muslins.

Again, like with Judaism and Christianity, it is hard to generalize:

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic\_creationism](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_creationism)

I’ve seen some Islamic Creationism sites that are as confusing, contradictory, and anti-science as any Young Earth Creationism ones (I can’t find the site right now but I will keep looking). And then OTOH there are lots of Muslims that fully accept everything and believe it fits right in with the Quran.
