Rav Samson Raphael Hirsh in 1873 - Evolution does not contradict Torah
wonga66:
Once the scientific evidences for a recent creation are studied, evilution flies out of the window. The sole reason billions of years are invoked is because the theory requires billions of years to even to begin to start opeartion. It is circular reasoning, and there are no such evidences!
Notice how the Big Bang theory cannot be squared with the Breishis account.
According to the Torah, all the elements were made together, the Earth was formed before the stars, plants were formed before the sun, birds were created before reptiles, and the sun, moon and stars were formed on the Fourth Day after the Earth.
But according to the Big Bang theory, the elements beyond hydrogen and helium were formed after millions of years, the Earth was formed long after the stars, plants evolved after the sun, birds evolved from reptiles, and the sun was formed before the Earth!

Any way you look at it, MassuhDGoodName is first in line for the 6000 remnant Yehudim, and muman613 is burning in Hell begging for icewater! ;D

That's a flat-out lie.
The billions of years are determined by the field known as geology. It just so happens that this timeline ALSO FITS the biological evidence and fossil evidence, making the theory of evolution that much more plausible and reasonable.

But before you cited Gerald Shroeder's "Genesis and the Big Bang" where he sets out to square the Big Bang theory with the Bereshith account. Therefore you are proving yourself a dishonest propagandist.
