Dear Pervaiz Sahib

Thank you for involving everybody in the seminar through e-mails and web-site. I greatly appreciate speakers’ viewpoints; some of them more religious than others but, obviously, all of them presented themselves movingly and provided chance to learn from each other.

The topic had a scientific & a philosophical dimension to it. I have respectfully read arguments primarily based on quotes from scriptures from Middle Eastern religions and other attempts where the word “Evolution” has been used in its literal sense. I think the “Theory of Evolution” has been missing from the seminar and its counter religious arguments have been equally missing.

Some weeks ago, I had expressed my hope to you wondering if Mr. Akber Chaudhry would write on this topic as I felt that he would be one of few friends who understood ‘Theory of Evolution’. In his absence, I am so glad Aamar Rafi has provided commentary so eloquently. His review on web-site does not leave much room for me to say anything on this subject. I think the way he has put forward “Theory of Evolution” and relative weight of various arguments around this topic is much better than I could ever write. I would not only congratulate him on this review but ask everyone interested this topic to review the content of seminar in the light of Mr. Rafi’s comments. With best regards.
