Actually, with all due respect, Rabbi, it makes an enormous
difference. Perhaps not to you or to me, but there are many Jews (and
their number is growing) who are troubled by a cultural imperative to
accept the principle of evolution on the one hand, and the fact that
the Torah seems to describe something very different on the other.<br>
<br>
I don't believe that we can just dismiss such dilemmas as irrelevant,
because they are (a) preventing Jews from being chozer b'teshuva and
(b) causing Jews to go off the derekh.<br>
<br>
On a personal level, no, it doesn't have to make any difference to
you. But scorning the question seems a bit less compassionate than one
would hope.<br>
