God forbid! This is an anti Affirmative Action forum.
It was just a typo. :D

--- Quote from: davkakach on September 27, 2006, 11:43:09 AM ---Evolution is a scientific fact which does not contradict the
kingdom of HaShem on this earth. The earth and other celestial bodies
have existed for billions of years. Evolution is observed by modern-day
scientists in small creatures whose lifespan is short. Populations change,
they adapt to a changing environments. It is a fact.

Actually it is not a fact that human races have evolved. Darwin suggested that differences in human races were primarily aesthetic, i.e. the process of sexual selection, small differences in physiognomy being selected upon according to regional tastes, which eventually resulted in the profoundly discrete types we find throughout all recorded history. But diverse evolutionists have diverse THEORIES as to the evolution of man, as something which evolved along the same branch as other primates but in different ways, with regional demands forcing 'natural selection' to 'amend' the species as time went on. I have read Darwin's 'Theory of Evolution' and I also plan to read his 'Descent of Man' when I have a few months to spare, so I am not unacquainted with the fact that Darwin himself did NOT put much emphasis on locale as a cause of racial difference.
What makes me sceptical towards all evolutionary theories is that, quite simply, there are as many evolutionary theories as proponents of evolution. Scientists LOVE to speculate, and make themselves knowledgeable about the entire history of man. But the truth is that they do not know; in truth it was G-d himself who miraculously created the human races some thousands of years ago. But G-d did not make mixed-race human beings. Mankind makes mixed-breeds, and therefore miscegenation is abomination because it is man elevating himself to the position of G-d and creating new varieties of man.
--- Quote ---The difference between an atheist and a believing Jew is that the atheist
thinks that evolutionary change is a result of random, chance mutations,
that there is no guiding force. But the Jew knows better---the Jew knows
that there is no randomness in our world, there is no chaos. Chaos was
eliminated on the first "day" of creation.

Agreed. But if you believe that mankind is simply a highly evolved branch of the primate branch then your belief clashes very severely with true religious belief. Such a belief is totally incompatible with a belief in Creation and it makes a mockery of G-d. G-d did not simply one day decide to implant His divine spirit into a branch of highly-evolved primates.
--- Quote ---As for Darwin, the originator of the theory of evolution, in his later years he came
to his senses and recognized that his theory had a fundamental error---the
assumption that the natural state of creation is chaos. It is told that one evening
he was sitting in his study and as he was dissecting and examining a human eye,
he suddenly had an epiphany. He realized that only God could create such a
magnificent organ, that there is no way that such a complex, marvelous organ
could be created "accidentally."

In actual fact the world and the whole universe is only 6000 years old, as this is what the Torah teaches. That it appears otherwise, is simply how it appears, and not how it IS. If you are familiar with Plato you will know the distinction. The universe came into being through the will of G-d, who created it, in his capacity as architect, according to his 'plan', his architectural guidebook, which is the Torah. Therefore the Torah predates the universe itself in existence. Appearances of this earthly world are deceptive and designed to lead man away from belief in G-d. But each and every thing exists only because G-d wills it into existence. The universe is within the mind of G-d, and it is an unfathomable world for those who do not study the Torah.
davkakach:
I agree with general spirit of your reply, except your arrogant (as usual) conclusion:
--- Quote ---The universe is within the mind of G-d, and it is an unfathomable world for
those who do not study the Torah.
--- End quote ---
But it is fathomable to you, the great Torah scholar who dismisses science entirely
as an attempt by man to elevate himself above HaShem. True, most scientists do
profess this secular attitude, but not all. And if the human race consisted only of
people like you, who are not curious about HaShem's creation, who ignore certain
discrepancies between reality and the literal meaning of certain Torah passages
(especially Genesis) we would be still living in tents, raising goats, and Israel would
not have a nuclear deterrent against its savage Yishmaelite enemies.
First cleanse yourself of your arrogance, and then maybe will have a slim chance
of being the great Torah scholar that you imagine you are.
In any event, this topic (creationism vs. intelligent design vs. evolution) belongs in
a separate thread.
