Some educated, scientific-oriented Muslims have applied the Qur'anic verses to the hypothesis of "transformation of species" in the matter of human creation. Using the analytical-critical method, this article has evaluated and criticized the interpretations of three Muslim scientists (Yadullah Sahabi, Amr Sharif and Mehdi Bazargan) and has shown their methodological and epistemological errors in understanding the verses of human creation. The purpose of this research is to help to understand religious texts correctly and to avoid unmethodical exposure to them. The findings of this research indicate that this group of Muslim students in their religious studies have applied the meaning of the Qur'anic verses to the hypothesis of "gradual evolution of species". This type of encounter with the verses of the Quran has its roots in two basic problems in their epistemological situation: one is the lack of expertise in religious sciences, especially the interpretation of the Quran; And the other is excessive scientism, especially giving credit to the "evolution of species" hypothesis. These two factors have caused gross errors on their part in understanding the verses of the creation of the first man. Some of these errors are related to the method of interpretation of the verses, and others are related to the understanding of the content of the commentators' arguments. In this article, these two types of errors have been mentioned, exemplified, and analyzed in detail in the interpretative performance of three scholars.
