Isn't it a contradiction? One place the Quran says Man is created from sperm - one says from dust - Isn't it a contradiction? See, a contradiction is two statements which are conflicting with each other, which cannot take place simultaneously.
The Quran does not only say Man has been created from sperm and the other place from dust- it also says in Surah Furqaan, Ch. No. 25, V. No. 54, that Man has been created from water. You will tell me there are three contradictions. See, Science has proved that man has been created from dust, as well as from sperm, as well as from water.
If I tell you in one statement, that to make a cup of tea, I require water. In the second statement, I say to make a cup of tea I require tea leaves or tea powder. It is not a contradiction - I require both. If I want to make sweet tea, I add sugar to it - If I want to make Pani kum tea, I add less water and more milk. If I want to make Sulaimani tea I add only water.
So there is no contradiction when the Quran says Human being is created from sperm and dust and water. It is actually contradistinction - What's the meaning of contradistinction?
Contradistinction means, speaking two or more things about a subject, which are not conflicting with each other. For example, if I say that this man - he is honest, he is kind and loving- It is contradistinction. But if I say this man is always a liar and a truthful person- then it is a contradiction, because both are opposing. If it is not opposing, it is called as a contradistinction.- Dr Zakir Naik
