Can the concept of evolution not contradict creationism, if going by the cyclical Quranic theory I proposed below?

To understand whether or not evolution fully or in part contradicts Quranic human creation myth, we have to critique the most fundamental aspect of Quranic creationism:

- Creation of man from clay
Allah (Ψ³Ψ¨Ψ­Ψ§Ω†Ω‡ وΨͺΨΉΨ§Ω„Ω‰) does mention that man is created from clay:

β€œAnd We did certainly create man out of clay from an altered black mud.” (15:26)

But is β€œman” mentioned here referring to humanity in general or specific persons?
I believe the verse is referring to specific persons, particularly Adam & Jesus.

β€œIndeed, the example of Jesus to Allah is like that of Adam. He created Him from dust; then He said to him, "Be," and he was” (3:59)

Adam & Jesus were the only creation among mankind who were
Directly created from dust (and clay).

God breathed into the clay, and a living being emerged from it.

Such mode of creation seems to indicate a miracle occured. Something supernatural or nonbiological.

It isn’t how all of humanity was created.
Adam’s creation from clay was a miracle to all of mankind

Jesus’ creation from clay was a miracle to all of Bani Israel

Jesus creating a bird from clay and breathing into so it becomes a living being by the permission of Allah, is a miracle to all of Bani Israel
Miracles basically to show that β€œ[God] is over all things competent” (57:2)

(I have a detailed thread on why creation of Adam from clay served to disprove later mushrikeen. I will post it at the end of this thread when I find it inshallah)
