Timeless Torah

Torah and science cannot be in conflict.

Darwin: evolution of newer more complex species from older simpler species Species: A group of individual animals that can breed successfully. Darwin: These changes did not happen by pure chance, there was a Guiding Hand.

They didn’t know about genes. Micro-evolution is a fact (resistance to antibiotics). Aristotle: Universe has no beginning and no end

Big Bang: 14 billion years; Earth, 4 billion. Organism need to develop. That only gives you a million years. Evolution is now problematic.

Problem: Not one experiment to prove or disprove macro-evolution. Even if it occurs in a lab, that doesn’t prove it actually happened.

Aug. 15, 2005: Time Magazine: Southern Baptist: This is what the Bible says, period. Psychologist from Harvard: Evolution is a fact, not a theory. Molecular Biologist: I don’t have a problem with evolution, if G-d wanted to do it that way that’s fine by me. Scientist: I have no religious qualms about evolution. My problem is based in science.

Intelligent design. Problem: it’s not a scientific theory. It’s a belief. How many people believe in Moses? How many believe that Methuselah lived 969 years?

Process: In science you always have to wait till tomorrow. Variables. Dead Sea going backwards. World begins old-looking. Observer changes reality.
