On compatibility or incompatibility of the Qur'an with evolutionism, numerous studies are found. They, however, lack methodological properties, comprehensiveness with regard to the related verses as well as the accuracy This study focuses on the verses of the origin and stages of human creation with a comprehensive look at all related verses and its classification. After extracting the stages of creation and inferring the logical gudgment of these stages from the verses, the current readings of these stages have become clear by analyzing and evaluating the content and regarding the context of Quranic verses. It is a triple reading. Also, the lack attention of researchers to the dual style of the Holy Quran in describing world events, which sometimes has a real expression from a natural-moral point of view and sometimes is accompanied by a symbolic expression from a divine point of view, has led to the reading of extraordinary creation of man. Finally, the analysis of the context of Surah Sajdah, which is a combination of both perspectives, shows that only the reading of the genesis of the evolutionary type is possible, and the reading of the genesis of the extraordinary creation is not compatible with the logical order mentioned in this context.
