Evolution and other vegetables
Hello Rabbi
A. Evolution says that humans and monkeys have a common ancestor and does not say that the monkey is the father (predecessor to humans) of humans. What is the difference between these two?
B. Geology says that there are bones of animals from millions of years ago and we know that all of this was created during creation and not before, and all of the geologists’ calculations are hypothetical and not factual.
C. The Earth’s tilt is due to the Big Bang

on. You might know. I don’t. There are indeed hypotheses in science and there are also theories, and it is still our best tool for reaching factual conclusions. C. I didn’t understand.

Shalom Rabbi
A. Maybe I didn't explain myself correctly, so evolution says that ape and man have an ancestor for man and the popular and unscientific opinion about evolution that ape is the “father” of man. I ask what the difference between the two opinions is that they have an ancestor. It is still possible that ape preceded man. If not, then what does it mean that they have a common ancestor?
B. I assume that you also believe in the Torah that man and animals were created in creation or do you have a different concept?
C. Does science know why the Earth is tilted and not straight?
Thank you
A. This is a different description of reality. What does it mean? What is the difference? Are you theologically inclined? I don't see a difference.
B. I don't tend to think so.
C. Why should it be straight? It is the rotation because of the circumstances in which it was created and operates.
Hello Rabbi
A. I meant what is the difference between the two opinions? What do I get out of it?
B. So why do you tend to think that?
B. I lean towards the scientific conclusion of a big bang and evolution.
Shalom Rabbi, and it is impossible to believe that evolution began at the time of creation and that creation itself is the Big Bang.
I don't understand the question. Do you mean that the bang happened less than six thousand years ago and evolution is taking place over these years only? Very, very unlikely.
Why?
Because the findings indicate that it took billions of years. And so does the probabilistic calculus (it is unlikely that evolution occurs that quickly).
A. The Mal’ba’im responds to this claim and says that all of this was created due to the flood, which also opened the springs of the earth and descended into the abysses, and scientists thought that each stage of the earth was a number of years, and this is not so, but everything was created in the flood, and it is impossible to say that this claim is incorrect. It can be said that just as the claim about millions of years is hypothetical, this is also a hypothetical method (by the way, the Mal’ba’im say about the inclination of the earth that it was created due to the flood)
B. Evolution can develop so quickly that it does not require a scientific matter, it is not related to logical explanation
You can barely excuse anything, but none of this is clearly plausible. A flood does nothing of the sort, especially given the knowledge we have today and the Malbim did not have.
According to the accepted theory, the planets were formed from a flat disk of material left over from a nebulous accretion into the Sun. This disk, of course, moves around the Sun, and therefore the direction of rotation of all the planets around the Sun and around themselves (except Venus) is in the same direction. Anything beyond this needs an explanation. According to Wikipedia, the accepted explanation for the tilt of the Earth's rotational axis is a large collision that also created the Moon 4 billion years ago.
