A Discredited, Evidence-less Idea

Dear Sir,

"Theories, Geological Evidence, and Assumptions" (4 Tammuz) made eminently clear that the fact that the date 5766 on the cover of Yated is literally true, preceded by a Hexaemeron of 144 literal hours, is the Torah stance!

Yet it is obviously not eminently clear for some Orthodox writers who are still wedded to the discredited, evidence- less evolutionary idea of billions of years.

The solid scientific evidence of a young universe has still not registered on some Orthodox who have fallen for the current evolutionary Zeitgeist yetzer and try to interpret certain passages in the Torah differently from the time-honored tradition, doing so in the mistaken belief that the Torah view on the age of the world is at variance with science; otherwise they would not have sought new interpretations in the Torah: "To reconcile Evolution with the Torah needs a lot of tongue-twisting. Generations later people will look back and say they were meshugga!" (HaRav Avigdor Miller, tape 871)

Yours truly,

Amnon Goldberg
