Sorry about this I should have clarified a little more. This other individual I am having a debate with is a follower of the Dharmic faith and I am a follower of the Abrahamic faith, i.e he is a Sikh and I am a Muslim.

It is clear from the versus of the Quran, the book of the muslims, and many sayings of our final prophet which have narrated by his companions, that differences in colour, tribes, races, or traditions are not to be excuses for unjust behaviour or treatment. The Quran rehearses the words of the almighty Allah which reasons against racial discrimination and puts an end to it in Islam. "O Mankind, we created you from a single pair of a male and a female, and made you in to tribes and nations so that you may know each other (not that you despise each other). Verily, the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is he who is most righteous of you." (Al-Quran, Chapter 49, Verse 13) Allah explains the reason behind why he created mankind and then put them in to alternative tribes and nations. It is made clear and all doubts are seized when the most merciful Allah states: "that you may know each other" .

Darwin was the first person to put forward the declaration that this development had evolutionary authority and he then erected his complete theory on the underpinning of this statement. The name he gave to his book indicates that expected variety was the basis of Darwin's hypothesis: The Origin of Species, by means of Natural Selection... Yet since Darwin's time, there has not been a solitary shred of verification put forward to show that natural selection causes living beings to change. Colin Patterson, the higher-ranking paleontologist of the Museum of Natural History in England, who is also a famous evolutionist by the way, stresses that natural selection has never been pragmatic to have the power to cause things to evolve: He posted: I posted: Because they can’t, hence why Dharmic faiths don’t appeal to most individuals, if there is no rationalization to the establishment of the universe then how can you consider the scriptures to be divine when some elementary principals are omitted like how the world was formed/created? Essentially what this means is Dharmic faiths cannot elucidate on the subject of creation so the scriptures move on to other things that can be effortlessly explained by anyone or even be fabricated. For the reason that they are explained hypothetically, witch really doesn’t give explanation to anything and generally leaves people at a loss of what the conjecture was theoretical trying to prove or explain fundamentally it’s a waste of time you don’t really learn anything. It’s not, “perfectly OK” when you drive a car you don’t jump from first to 5th do you? Or from 3rd to 1st you do it in a sequential array. So for the debate to flow properly you must start from the beginning. The universe was created before people were put on it, you can't be selective in your debate and just disregard the fundamental and that is the creation of the universe. And jump on to how Adam and Eve go on earth. In the solitary book exposed by Allah that has survived absolutely intact, the Quran, there are statements about the formation of the universe from nothing as well as how this came about that are corresponding to 20th-century comprehension and yet were revealed fourteen centuries ago. Foremost of all, the creation of this universe from emptiness is exposed in the Quran as follows: He(Allah) is the Originator of the heavens and the earth…(Surat al-Anam: 101) an additional important characteristic revealed in the Quran fourteen centuries before the modern finding of the Big Bang and answer related to it is that when it was created, the universe occupied a very minuscule volume: Do those who are disbelievers not see that the heavens and the earth were sewn together and then We unstitched them and that We made from water every living thing? So will they not have faith? (Surat al-Anbiya': 30) Also note what every living this is made of water! Devoid of water, you get dehydrated, and when you are dehydrated you are out of dear energy and before you know it, you're dead! Your body is about 80% made out of water; without water we wouldn't be living, breathing, walking! Or reading this post! -------- This is were I am at the moment. I hope you all understand now...
