Title: Which camp do you belong to?
Post by: Dr. Dan on June 08, 2009, 02:39:28 PM: please explain your viewpoint...Evolution vs. Creationism and racial intermarriage are hot topics on the forum...Combining the two I am curious to see who belongs to which camp.

I believe that races of the same culture and religion can intermarry...by race that includes whites, blacks, mongoloids...
I believe evolution MIGHT be an answer of HOW Gd creates the diversity of life.

Post by: muman613 on June 08, 2009, 03:22:00 PM: Jews can marry anyone so long as that person is Jewish and of the opposite sex... Other than that I have no opinion. Evolution is a nice theory but it hasn't been proven and there are holes in the theory.

Naa, i'm just curious... but it can be interesting study to see if there is a correlation between the two...I highly doubt it though...

Not to denegrate our Holy Torah..there are holes in them too..that's why we have the rabbis and talmud to fill those "holes" with Midrashim....and the then the holes in the Talmud filled in with Kabbalah...

There is very little we humans are capable in understanding and interpreting. I do not doubt that Gd created the universe. However, evolution...maybe not as it is exactly described...but nevertheless, might be an answer of HOW Gd creates life.

Post by: syyuge on June 08, 2009, 03:59:25 PM: I feel the races should better have intermarriage within similar religion and culture and think that evolution is perhaps the design and beneficial game plan within the paradigm of the G_d, which we may or may not understand.
