AB This article scrutinizes the conceptualization of science advanced by the Muslim public speaker and author Hamza Andreas Tzortzis in his book The Divine Reality. The Islamic theistic outlook advanced by Tzortzis is based on extensive discussion of science, including a rebuttal of science-based atheism and the prescription for Muslims to practically accept the theory of evolution as a best-working model without in fact including it in their belief system. It is argued that Tzortzis’s discussion suffers from six major and intertwined problems related to the consistency and accuracy of the epistemological framework within which he defends (Islamic) theism.
