The Ādam Paradox Hypothesis
87
Qur’ānic Beacons Aligned with Archaeology
Clay like pottery (ṣalṣāl ka-l-fakhkhār) (Q 55:14; 15:26): The genome
prepared, resonant but inert.
Breathing of the spirit (Q 32:9; 15:29; 38:72): Activation, the moment
when potential became actual.
Teaching of the names (Q 2:31): The gift of taxonomy, classification, and
abstract indexing — the essence of language and symbolic representation.
Khalīfah (Q 2:30): Humanity
’s purpose in stewardship, law, and moral
responsibility.
Descent (ihbiṭū) (Q 2:36; 7:24): Adam and Eve placed into history;
archaeology records the proliferation of symbolic traditions as density rises.
Positive Evidence Patterns
1.Readiness without activation. Long anatomical/neurological preparation
without cumulative symbolism.
2.Sparks without permanence. Qafzeh, Blombos, Diepkloof show pre-70kya
symbolism that vanishes.
3.Cognitive surplus. Human cognition far exceeds survival needs (Gould,
1980).
4.Threshold ignition. Sudden, irreversible global symbolism after ~70kya.
