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.
