Yeah I have an opinion it has nothing to do with life, the Quran says We created man from Clay not the First cell.
It also says Fatty acids form inside clay, doesn't say man was created from Clay or whatever.
The Quran says this:
We created man from sounding clay,
from mud moulded into shape.
-- Sura 15:26
This means that God shaped man in his current form like a sculptor shapes his sculpture.
When u read the Quran u have to read it in context, the verse talking about creation out of clay says nothing about creating life out of clay, it is simply talking how god created man out of clay and fashioned him the way he is and breathed life into him.
Check 2 verses above that one and a couple below for better understanding, here they are:
15:23 And verily, it is We Who give life, and Who give death: it is We Who remain inheritors (after all else passes away).
Wa-inna lanahnu nuhyeewanumeetu wanahnu alwarithoona
15:24 To Us are known those of you who hasten forward, and those who lag behind.
Walaqad AAalimna almustaqdimeenaminkum walaqad AAalimna almusta/khireena
15:25 Assuredly it is thy Lord Who will gather them together: for He is perfect in Wisdom and Knowledge.
Wa-inna rabbaka huwa yahshuruhuminnahu hakeemun AAaleemun
15:26 We created man from
sounding clay, from mud
moulded into shape;
Walaqad khalaqna al-insana minsalsalin min hama-in masnoonin
15:27 And the Jinn race, We had created before, from the fire of a scorching wind.
Waaljanna khalaqnahumin qablu min nari alssamoomi
15:28 Behold! thy Lord said to the angels: "I am about to
create man, from
sounding clay from mud moulded into shape;
Wa-ith qala rabbuka lilmala-ikatiinnee khaliqun basharan min salsalin min hama-inmasnoonin
15:29 "
When I have fashioned him (in due proportion) and breathed into him of My spirit, fall ye down in obeisance unto him."
Fa-itha sawwaytuhu wanafakhtu feehimin roohee faqaAAoo lahu sajideena
15:30 So the angels prostrated themselves, all of them together:
Fasajada almala-ikatu kulluhumajmaAAoona
15:31 Not so Iblis: he refused to be among those who prostrated themselves.
Illa ibleesa aba an yakoonamaAAa alssajideena
15:32 (Allah) said: "O Iblis! what is your reason for not being among those who prostrated themselves?"
Qala ya ibleesu ma lakaalla takoona maAAa alssajideena
15:33 (Iblis) said: "I am not one to prostrate myself to man, whom Thou didst create
from sounding clay, from mud moulded into shape." Qala lam akun li-asjuda libasharinkhalaqtahu min salsalin min hama-in masnoonin
http://www.muslimaccess.com/quraan/arabic/015.aspI think it is pretty clear what the quran is talking about, the quran says nothing about the Origin of Life = first cell in these verses, he is simply describing the creation of man out of clay, he even
FASHIONED man out of clay like a sculptor.
