=== Acceptance === {{See also|Acceptance of evolution by religious groups#Islam}} The theory of evolution is controversial in plenty of contemporary Muslim societies due to negative social views and misconceptions such as "the theory is [[Atheism|atheistic]]" and lack of understanding about views such as human exceptionalism and Adamic exceptionalism. A lot of people suggest that it also has a lot to do with lack of proper scientific facilities and development in a lot (but not all) Muslim countries, particularly where there exists a lot of conflict and political tension. Regardless, a large majority of Muslims accept evolution in [[Kazakhstan]] (79%) and [[Lebanon]] (78%). However relatively few in [[Afghanistan]] (26%) and [[Iraq]] (27%) believe in human evolution. Most other Muslim countries have statistics in between.<ref name="Pew">{{cite web |date=April 30, 2013 |title=The World's Muslims: Religion, Politics and Society |url=http://www.pewforum.org/uploadedFiles/Topics/Religious_Affiliation/Muslim/worlds-muslims-religion-politics-society-full-report.pdf |publisher=Pew Research Center}}</ref> Belief in theistic evolution is increasing in a lot of Muslim countries and societies.{{cn|date=October 2024}} The younger generations have a higher rate of acceptance. Countries more developed or developing faster also have higher rates of acceptance. Muslim societies in non-Muslim countries (such as in the West) are inconsistent and can be high or low depending on the specific countries.
