Islam and DINOSAURS
What Do We Know about the Origins of Life?
Today, scientists tell us that life began in the seawhen simple molecules bonded together and became self-replicating, or self-reproducing. These single-celled organisms, quickly took on the characteristics of what we know as algae.
They received their energy from the sun in a process termed Photosynthesis, and as a result of their activity, new gases formed in the air creating a viable environment for more complexforms of life.
As Muslims we can either accept this theory, reject it or modify it according to what we know in Allah's revelation. Allah said He created all life from water and raised a protective canopy over the Earth. Allah knows best and all what we can do is study, research, test and reflect.
Scietists further tell us that over millions of years, the firs organisms blossomed gradually into many different types and shapes, resulting in plant life, plankton, arthropods and simple fishes. Dinosaurs, higher creature and mammals followed.

- The photosynthesis of primitive, single-called organisms aided in the development of a protective blanket of gases and electro-magnetic layers around the Earth. Today there are seven layers to the sky.
They are:
- 1. The Troposphere
- 2. Stratosphere
- 3. Mesosphere
- 4. Thermosphere
- 5. Exosphere
- 6. Ionosphere
- 7. Magnetosphere
"So (Allah) completed the seven skies in two periods of time and to each He assigned its duty and power." (41:12 also see 65:12)

and simple fish* (not fishes) =)
this is really interesting. thank you for sharing.
The 7 skies mentioned in the Quran has nothing to do with these spheres. These spheres are all part of the 1st sky. Its sounds as if you are referring to evolution. Allah (SWA) said: In the beginning we created Adam and Eve.
BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 7 SKIES AND 7 UNIVERSES:
[41:12] Thus, He completed the seven universes in two days, and set up the laws for every universe. And we adorned the lowest universe with lamps, and placed guards around it. Such is the design of the Almighty, the Omniscient.
[65:12] GOD created seven universes and the same number of earths. The commands flow among them. This is to let you know that GOD is Omnipotent, and that GOD is fully aware of all things.
