does islam say that humans were the first creatures on earth?

I could give you a simple answer, but I tend to make things more, well, extravagant! Lol! Below is a site and a movie on creationism and Islam, I hope it helps you.\n\nEdit: Jinn, in Islam, is another creature that God created, from fire. Angels were from light, jinn from fire, and man from earth. We also do not believe that Satan was a fallen angel, as angels are in perfect obedience to God and never disobey. Satan was instead a jinn, and when God created man, he ordered all creation to bow down before him in awe. Satan refused, thinking himself better than man and questioning why he had to bow down to this "low" creature. Thus began his "beef."

Well, I am a believer but I will answer your question anyway---\n\nGod said: “Let us make man in our image.” (Ge 1:26) What a historic pronouncement! And what a singular position in history Adam, the “son of God,” holds—the first human creature! (Lu 3:38) Adam was the crowning glory of God's earthly creative works, not only because of the timing near the close of six creative epochs but, more importantly, because “in God’s image he created him.” (Ge 1:27) This is why the perfect man Adam, and his degenerate offspring to a much lesser degree, possessed mental powers and abilities far superior to all other earthly creatures.\nMade in the likeness of his Grand Creator, Adam had the divine attributes of love, wisdom, justice, and power; hence he possessed a sense of morality involving a conscience, something altogether new in the sphere of earthly life. In the image of God, Adam was to be a global administrator and have in subjection the sea and land creatures and the fowl of the air.\nIt was not necessary for Adam to be a spirit creature, in whole or in part, to possess Godlike qualities. God formed man out of the dust particles of the ground, put in him the force of life so that he became a living soul, and gave him the ability to reflect the image and likeness of his Creator. “The first man is out of the earth and made of dust.” “The first man Adam became a living soul.” (Ge 2:7; 1Co 15:45, 47) That was in the year 4026 B.C.E. It was likely in the fall of the year, for mankind’s most ancient calendars began counting time in the autumn around October 1, or at the first new moon of the lunar civil year. \nI hope this helps an unbeliever to believe.

Hi Khalil, here are some answers to your questions. \nHow: God created the first human from mud and then blew on it from His own spirit, it started with Adam and Eve on heaven and then they were sent to Earth and from then they gave birth to kids and population growth began.\nWhen: No one really knows exactly, tens of thousands years ago. \nWhy: Adam and Eve (and whole of humanity later) were sent to Earth as an exam to see if they will pass the test of God who warned against sinning - thefts, adultary, lies, hurting others are all among the sins. Good people who will go to Heaven for eternity, and very bad people will go to Hell for eternity. In the end it all rests in God's hands.\nAbout life in other planets, there could be - no one really know exactly. But definately there exist non-human spirits like angels in life.

Neanderthals are thought to not be predecessors of humans at all.\n\nThe FIRST ancestor would be the Universal Common Ancestor.  Evolution is founded upon the idea of commonality of descent; that all life on earth is related, descended from a single parent organism.  Such an organism cannot be known, because so small an organism leaves no meaningful fossils, and one would expect it to be extinct by now.  I can only say that the first ancestor of humans is also the first ancestor of cats, dogs, bees, trees, bacteria, and mushrooms.

We believe that God (Allah in Arabic since the Quran is in Arabic) created the galaxies, universe, then chose earth to have the living creators.  It is written in the Quran, God told the Angles: I will create a human being to populate earth (this is not the translation but the meaning) this is why, I personally, do not believe in any creators on any planet.  After creating Adam, He told the Angels: Kneel.  All did, only Satan said: "you created me from fire and him from clay; I will not kneel to clay".  God replied: "Get out of heaven, you will never see it again, whoever follows you will be in everlasting hell".  Then God saw that Adam is lonely, so He created Eve.  Then told them: "do not touch this tree".  Satan did not like a creature made from clay living in heaven while he is an outcaste.  He told both of them: "this tree will make you immortal".  They ate it.  The Quran never said that Eve told Adam to eat it, Quran said: "both of them".\nThrough time, people started to worship idols.  God sent Prophets, like Abraham, Noah,…then Moses, Jesus and Mohammed, to tell their people do not forget the One & Only God who is worth worshipping.\nAbraham was order by God to build the Ka'ba, for Muslims to visit once a year, once in a life time it they are able to.  It is not compulsory, but every Muslims wish.  We face it when we pray, it’s a form of unity.  We cannot face any direction of our own choice.  We put our forehead to the ground to remember that we are made from clay; this way the king will not think he is superior to the peasant.   \nI am not shopping to choose a better religion; I was born a Muslim, I am not going to say that mine is better than other religions.  I never criticize others, God made us all; He is the one to judge us.  Better than criticizing each other, let's focus on the good deeds we can do in life before we leave it.

The first evolved idea of religion was during the Sumerians time, when the cities of Ur & Uruk were founded, circa 2000BC, and was Nephilim worship. Basically a group of messengers came to Earth and bred homo sapiens as workers. After several thousand years, several Nephilim felt enslaving us was wrong, and started to impart their knowledge to us. There was a civil war among the Nephilim regarding the future of mankind. This led to the biblical flood of 4000BC, in which almost all human life was lost, though finally the benevolent Nephilim won and through a fe,ale Nephilim, the human race was created, leading to the view that we are all Gods children, and the opinion that we all contain a small essence of the Divine. They taught us the wisdom of how to grow crops, religion, philosophy etc. This info was largely lost with the rise of the Persians, Babylonians and led to the forgotten knowledge scenario.\nUruk has been found and its great zigarat (pyramid) remains unexcavated approx 150miles NW of Basra, Iraq, currently occupied by UK troops.

This is an interesting subject. First of all I do belive in God&Creationalism, but however Im not very religous.Before God created Adam and Eve there must have been life on Earth.\nPerhaps God chose the Earth to put Man on because it was a very viable place to live. In Genisis chapter one it is written "In the begining God created the heavens and the Earth, and the Earth was VOID and WHITHOUT form" "Then the Spirit of the Lord moved apon the face of the deep... Its hard to say really, but in my opinion this is similar to the way science sugests that it all began, on a barren rocky world filled with an endless sea with which life could proliferate. There is evidence on the surface of the Earth that sugests that massive impacts from space have occured. Perhaps before the time of Man, the Earth was filled with Dinosaurs and 'quote' other prehistoric life and it was a great place for LIFE. Then one day for a reason known only to God, he chose to destroy the Earth with an asteroid so massive that it compleatly decimated everything, and left the planet, dark, void, and without proper form. The neanderthal men, in my opinion are evidence of somthing else mentioned in the Bible. In Genisis chapter six it says "the sons of God saw the beatiful women of the human race, and took any they wanted as there wives...in those days and even after GIANTS lived on the Earth" .The sons of God probly refers to angelic beings. Neanderthals were supposed to be much larger, and more robust then regular  humans of today. I think I have seen a few shows on the Discovery channle about human evolution, and acording to science, neanderthals, and humans most likely lived side by side. Then for reasons unknown, there was only MAN left as if the neanderthal died out. What about the great Mammoths, Sloths, Sabertoothed Cats, among other animals? I think that they, and the neanderthals were not included on NOAHS ARK. There is so much information to think about! Even so, there is still a lot of mystery. I do know one thing, all the PERFECT laws of the universe, from GRAVITY to MAGNATISIM, to PHYSICS just prove that that the universe was created intelligently, and beatifully might I ad. Sorry to type so much I have wandered about these issues too. Please remember that I was just speaking hypotheticaly on the what ifs. Hope I helped a little.

yes I do. There is scientific evidence that we evolved from primates. I don't believe one man pointed his finger *boom* man was created. There was life before Christ, what makes anyone think it was Christ Himself that put the life here afterwords? \nBible thumpers are going to be all over me for this, but why should I believe a book? For all anyone knows, a really drunk author could have written the bible. I mean look at Scientology.. someone invented that religon. Completely made it up! And look at all of the followers. \nIf I was alive 2000 years ago and wrote a book about worshipping grasshoppers, would we all be praying to the 'almighty hopping insect'? \nSadly, no one will know if there is a God or not untill it is our time to go. \nI don't think we have to praise Him in order to go somewhere nice after death. As long as we are good people and live our life to the fullest, we will be happy in death.\n\nAnd 1 more thing: how come we can dig up fossils from dinosaurs (BC), but nothing to back up anything the bible says (AD)?

Exactly. Humans did not evolve from primates. The theory of evolution is full of holes.

some aliens may be the predesessors of some of us humans.\n it is unlikely we evolved from apes purely, but the apelike creatures that evolved were intermingled with aliens from space about 50,000 years ago.\n read" Slave species of God" by Michael Tellinger or go to website at   slavespecies.com   and listen to audio tape.

That depends on what religion you are. If you are christian, you believe apes were first because God created them before Adam & Eve. If you are agnostic/believe in science, you believe primitive apes were first, which evolved from some sort of amoeba. I am christian, and believe that apes  were created by God. No one has proof of this, but this is just a test of faith. Either way: the apes were first.\n\nAnd a question to Keith: the creation of the universe by Titans in Greek mythology is just as good of an explaination (if not better) than the big bang theory. How do you think the big bang started? There had to be something before it. It's just blatent ignorance.

According to Mythology, Manu was the first Human being

The Bible came first,the others followed. I believe that it is very possible that the ideas came from the worlds oldest book. Most peoples from the world share similar stories of a world wide flood and the gathering of one of every kind of animal. A very interesting question!

Jinn are exclusive to Islam.\n\nQuran 15:27 “And the Jinn race, We had created before, from the fire of a scorching wind.” http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/015.qmt.html#015.027\n\nQuran 17:88 "If the whole of mankind and Jinns were to gather together to produce the like of this Qur'an, they could not produce the like thereof, even if they backed up each other with help and support. http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/017.qmt.html#017.088\n\nThe Quran essentially claims the Jinn are a race of creatures living on earth, right now. They are not invisible. So if the Quran were correct, which of course its not, some human, over the last 1400 years would have found some evidence of this entire Jinn civilization.

Bible says about the Adam and Eve, Quran also says in similar ways,\nIf going in detail in Quran of best translation and using our common sense we will come to know that,\nGod created universe, in his six days of creation, the Big bang happened, earth cooled down, life formed, plants came to being, animals came to being, in this six days only man also came from the descendants of apes.\n\nThe exact translation when u go, u will see that God talks about Six Eras not Six days.\n\nAdam is the first civilized being with intelligence among the humans in the shape of human(ape descendant). Therefore, he is called as the first man, and later Eve was also civilized under his influence. Thats the Gods creation of Man(civilized human among others).\n\nfor both of them it was like a paradise on earth, as they used to see the world with intelligent eyes and understand, but where thrown away from that paradise after getting the idea of evilness(that apple story), that means that wonderful life was no more after being sinful.\n\nUnderstand more and more with common sense, u will understand both science and God's creation together.

Yes because humans were made as soon as Earth was created by God.
