God's different forms of creation

Another important point ignored by the believers who are deceived by the error of evolutionary creation is God's different forms of creation. God has produced living things that differ significantly from humans and animals, such as angels and the jinn. Now let’s discuss this.

Two-, Three-, and Four-Winged Angels

Angels are mentioned both in Qur’an and Bible. Angels are beings that always obey God's commands. God describes their creation in the Qur'an as follows: 

Praise be to God, the Bringer into Being of the heavens and Earth, He Who made the angels messengers, with wings – two, three, or four. He adds to creation in any way He wills. God has power over all things. (Surah Fatir, 1)

As we can see from this description, the forms of angels differ considerably from those of human beings. God draws attention to the different forms of creation in this verse.

God also informs how angels are at His command and obey Him: 

Everything in the heavens and every creature on Earth prostrates to God, as do the angels. They are not puffed up with pride. They fear their Lord above them and do everything that they are ordered to do. (Surat an-Nahl, 49-50)

The Messiah would never disdain to be a servant of God, nor would the angels near to Him. If any do disdain to worship Him and grow arrogant, He will in any case gather them all to Him. (Surat an-Nisa', 172)

You who believe! Safeguard yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is people and stones. Harsh, terrible angels are in charge of it, who do not disobey God in respect of any order He gives them and carry out what they are ordered to do. (Surat at-Tahrim, 6)

In addition, angels were created before man. In fact, God told the angels when He was going to create the Prophet Adam (pbuh), the first human being, and commanded them to prostrate before him.

At the same time, God gave the Prophet Adam (pbuh) knowledge that was different from that of the angels, and taught him the names of things. Angels do not possess that knowledge. As it is revealed in the Qur'an:

When your Lord said to the angels, "I am putting a vicegerent on Earth," they said, "Why put on it one who will cause corruption on it and shed blood when we glorify You with praise and proclaim Your purity?" He said, "I know what you do not know." He taught Adam the names of all things. Then He arrayed them before the angels and said, "Tell me the names of these, if you are telling the truth." They said, "Glory be to You! We have no knowledge except what You have taught us. You are the All-Knowing, the All-Wise." He said, "Adam, tell them their names." When he had told them their names, He said, "Did I not tell you that I know the Unseen of the heavens and Earth, and I know what you make known and what you hide?" We said to the angels, "Prostrate to Adam!" and they prostrated, with the exception of Iblis (satan). He refused and was arrogant and was one of the disbelievers. (Surat al-Baqara, 30-34)
