Necessity for evolution

שו”תCategory: Torah and ScienceNecessity for evolution
asked 7 years ago

The rabbi claims that evolution has a low chance of occurring, but in fact it did occur, which further necessitates the explanation that God created the world, etc. My question is, what is necessity? Isn’t this the desired assumption, after all, if there is a God, everything can have a supernatural explanation and we don’t have to resort to evolutionary processes to explain it?

I didn’t understand the question. Natural explanations come to describe what is happening. They have nothing to do with metaphysics.

The question of whether it is necessary to say that evolution occurred millions of years ago, I understood from Rabbi that it did.

מיכי Staff replied 7 years ago

Scientifically, we talk about billions of years that the world has existed, and of that, many millions (probably over a billion) years of evolution.

I'll try anyway... Is there any evidence or references for this? Or is this a theory that is most easily explained as an alternative to the existence of God (allegedly) but there is no solid evidence that this actually happened millions of years ago. Thank you

This is a well-founded theory. I see no place here for a scientific course. The material is in books and on the Internet and you can read it.

The truth is that there is quite a bit of evidence that contradicts evolutionary predictions. For example: we find identical genes in distant but not closely related species, or fossils that appear in the wrong order, etc.
