God's different forms of creation

Another important pointignored by the believers who are deceived by
theerror 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 theheavens 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 ofangels 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 toHim. 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 peopleand 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 whatthey 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 beforehim.
At the same time, God gave the Prophet Adam (pbuh) knowledge that was
different from that of the angels, and taught him the names ofthings.
Angels do not possess that knowledge. As it is revealed in the Qur'an:
When your Lord said to the angels, "I am puttinga vicegerent on
Earth," they said, "Why put on itone who will cause corruption on it
and shed blood when we glorify You with praise and proclaim Your
purity?" He said, "I knowwhat you do not know." He taught Adam the
names of all things. ThenHe arrayed them before the angels and said,
"Tellme the names of these, ifyou 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?" Wesaid to the angels,"Prostrate to
Adam!" andthey prostrated, with theexception of Iblis (satan). He
refused and was arrogant and was one of the disbelievers. (Surat
al-Baqara, 30-34)
