Dr. Jones presented a paper on ‘Islam and Science’, which drew on previous research on perceptions of evolution by the research team for the project ‘Science and Religion: Exploring the Spectrum’, as well as new research being conducted on views of Islam and science among Muslim religious leaders. He spoke about the findings of a survey of British Muslims on science and evolution, highlighting that British Muslims are marginally more likely to identify with science than the wider British public but remain both sceptical and uncertain about biological evolution. Muslims’ evolution scepticism varies significantly depending on how questions are asked, while they are also considerably more likely to suggest that they do not know how to respond.
