[Avodah] Evolution, Hashgachah and Tehillah

[Rich, Joel]

Once you have found a theological answer to the question of the existence of my son David, then it seems to me that your answer to the challenge posed by the question of randomness versus hashgacha and tephila in respect of the theory of evolution will follow.  And you cannot avoid giving some sort of theological answer to the reality of the existence of my son David (even the atheist perspective that the existence of children like David proves the lack of existence of a benevolent god is a form of answer) even if you never engage with the "Theory of Evolution".

Regards

Chana

And the meta question (similar to one that really fascinates me - how do 2 rabbis, knowing the entire corpus of torah, come to different conclusions) is what drives different people to answer this question so differently?
