[Avodah] evolution

[Eli Turkel]

<< That said, I can't call evolution "fact". It has strong evidence, but
nothing
really rules out RMMS's or R' Avigdor Miller's supposition that Hashem had
His
own reasons for laying down that evidence. >>

According to Rabbi Miller there is nothing as science. All modern science
is based on experiment and observations, it is never proved in the
mathematical sense of the word. Hence, the fact that a ball always falls to
earth every time doesnt "prove" that gravity exists. Perhaps as others
claim every time G-d causes the ball to fall but there is no such natural
fact as gravity. Perhaps the world was created a week ago and all archives
of areivim and avodah were planted there by G-d for his reasons.

Evolution in the local sense occurs all the time. It is well known that
viruses evolve to counteract anti-virus drugs and so old drugs like
penicillin are no longer used.

In fact the CI believed in evolution in much stronger sense than any
scientists. He believed that the human body changed physically from the
days of chazal in order to answer contradictions between chazal and modern
day science. Science talks about species evolution over millions of years
while CI claims the human body changed over 2000 years.
