A: Really? That sounds more like the image created by evolutionists rather than a rabbi.
Some humans not only like to reconfigure God but strangely have such a low opinion of humanity. They can’t believe humans are the epitome of creation, the last of living creatures to be designed with a life-nurturing environment already perfectly set up by the Designer of all existence to sustain them. If it was truly a rabbi who said that, then he needs to review his scriptural legacy, the Torah, and align his thinking with it instead of speculating outside of the text.
Would the Creator who designs the first human who is later split into two—perfectly designed in all ways, endowed with free will, PLUS bear the stamp of His ‘Image’— choose to make them look like the ape species He had already designed as a different and unique animal species with some variations (gorilla, orangutan, monkey, etc.)? Aw, come on, let’s give the Creator all the credit He deserves.
When we look at the diversity of God’s creation, each species remains the same, identifiable in characteristics and function; that is why scientists can come to final and predictable conclusions and not guess forever what a creature would evolve into next. True, the germ and virus and other organisms mutate so that their species could survive, but they do not evolve into the next level of created species and still remain as germs and viruses; perhaps their immune system become stronger because all living things are programmed to survive even if the rule of life is the survival of the fittest. Yet and unfortunately, many species have become extinct because the two-legged animals with the brains do not heed the command of the Creator to ‘tend the garden.’
Do we see any current species evolving into the next level today? Yes there are freaks of nature but they can hardly be categorized as the organism between one species and another. Have they discovered “missing links” at every stage of the supposed evolutionary process?
Unless scientists tamper with the balance of nature and recreate mixed species (prohibited in Torah), most of nature, including humanity, remain as originally created— “good” and “very good” . . . NOT “could be better” or “improve later.” And when humans so decide to “improve” the original (usually for commercial gain and out of greed), there are consequences to health and environment. Genetically modified organisms are perfect examples. Man recreates and ends up with Frankenstein . . . is that an improvement?
So, would the Creator make His crown of creation — humanity — look like the species that almost look human but fall short for obvious reasons? Each person simply must decide whose word will he believe, man ‘s or God’s.
