Description
Summary:Due to his Muslim belief, D.A.-F. Batchelor wants to confirm and harmonize the Qur'anic reports of the origin of Adam and Eve with paleolithic and embryological statements. Batchelor quite often cites Muslim references. Thereby he provides a view of embryology which in part does not correspond to common scientific understanding. Some of his points and arguments are well taken, but not all of them. Thus I compare Batchelor's position with these assumptions without delving into his theological considerations.\u2014I would recommend to read my response parallel to Batchelor's paper. In order compare my points with Batchelor's results I follow his sub-headings, although there are some inevitable overlaps in our respective texts.
