"“Natan,” she said, “If you want to believe that you are descended from monkeys, fine. But don’t tell me that I am.”"

Clearly the monkey genes came from your father's side!

I love the fact that Mommy , bless her soul, loves you unconditionally not withstanding your serious theological differences. Now THAT is refreshing and a life lesson that is sorely needed in our time.

Wishing you all the best with your vestigial teeth.

"If you believe that God designed man from scratch with Infinite Wisdom and a perfect design, how do you account for this very widespread defect? It’s a problem" Excuse my ignorance, but why is this a problem? We believe that G-d orchestrates and creates many things which need perfecting/adapting or improving, so why are our backs any different?

Perfection doesn't mean that we don't further perfect, Bris Milah is a good example!

Tooth pain occurs in wisdom teeth from interbreeding of unrelated archaic creatures and so called modern humans.

In China and Africa contemporaneously 300,000 years ago.Inheritance of wisdom teeth is common because of this.All modern humans are interconnected through time and breeding.

It is not evolution between far flung people who never encountered one another.

Only from a few individuals.

The same is true of lower back pain.From gravity which is entropy as professor Ted Jacobson has shown.The second law of thermodynamics is at work at all times and has zero to do with evolution.

Dr. Gerald Schroeder, MIT PHD physicist says,”Forty generations pass before there is an 82% probability that any one of the potentially useful mutations will have occurred.

Nature requires a million changes or forty million generations,even neglecting the five hundred to five thousand generations required for each generation to spread through a herd.The fossil record gives us seven million years(from ape).

It might appear that there is a simple solution to this problem.

Perhaps we are starting with an artificially small population and a larger population will evolve more rapidly.Increasing the herd size to 100,000 members provides a tenfold increase in the number of mutations per generation.However,with a herd of 100,000 over a thousand generations are required for each mutation to spread through the herd.Increasing the herd does not solve the problem of how to get the mutations in the needed time.

The probability of success in subsequent generations is

p=1-q r=1- (0.9575y.

In an attempt to the amazingly rapid morphological changes observed in the fossil record,theories of today talk of genetic bottlenecks in which very small herds undergo

very large mutational changes.

The herd’s small size allows a mutation to spread rapidly through it by breeding.But the smaller the herd,the fewer number of mutations per generation and therefore the greater number of generations required for a mutation to occur.

The larger the herd the more mutations per season,but also,the more generations required for the mutation to spread through the herd.

Confirmed evolutionists agree that you just cannot win if the classic concept of randomness at the point molecular level of DNA is the driving force behind the mutations.THE TIME IS JUST NOT THERE.”

Ilya Prigogine,a recipient of the Nobel prize in chemistry,

wrote in “physics today,

“The probability that at ordinary temperatures a macroscopic number of molecules is assembled to give rise to the coordinated functions of characterizing living organisms is vanishingly small.The idea of the spontaneous generation of life in its present form is therefore improbable,even on the scale of billions of years.”

Ernst Mayr,professor emeritus of zoology at Harvard university and former curator at the American Museum of Natural History,and avowed lifelong advocate of Darwinian evolution,had finally come to admit that “the origin of our species is a “puzzle” that may never be solved”.

“The link that leads directly to homosapiens is missing”.

Who is David Ilan??

He did not respond to one scientific proof in my discourse.

His only emotional response of extremists is extremist rhetoric.Each and every comment that I presented is documented and can be footnoted.He knows absolutely nothing without a well reasoned response.Leftists and ideological fanatics try to protect their fragile but longstanding ideological extremist bias,including false information or over the top personal anger.Again,answers please.

I, yes I David Ilan am a completely different person from Rabbi Dr Natan Slifkin whom I hold in highest esteem. As to you, you didn’t post a discourse, you posted a dissembled rant full of unscientific and illogical and so pathetically ignorant of basic rules of physics and even grade school biology that there is no need to correct your glaring errors as anyone with a smidgen of scientific education sees them as self evident. But here, I’ll explain one. When liquid or molten matter enters zero gravity it will automatically form a globe due to the rules of physics. God created the mathematics and the moon resulted naturally from the planetary collision. I’ll not waste time nor effort to explain your other multitudes of errors as I believe your mind has gone too far down the rabbit hole of “creationism” to value being saved…

I’m not angry….I’m laughing…laughing…laughing at you…

You answered nothing but rabid vitriol.

The evolutionists believe that the earth was struck by a Mars size planet named”theia”.

This dislodged a piece of the earth and resulted in a perfectly round moon that happened to be the exact distance to have a gravitational effect to create perfectly sized tides so that the planet would function rather than never ecist with life.

Further,rather than burn up in the atmosphere,”theia”became an actual physiological duplicate,not a gaseous moon or nonfunctional one.

Further,Georges Cuvier,the French founder of paleontology and comparative anatomy viewed his finds as a hierarchical animal morphology increasing in complexity with more advanced non-evolved creatures,but perfectly adapted to an immediate landscape and survival.

The geological column of fossils is based on a false evolutionary development in geological terms “uniformitarianism”.

This term tries to believe in a constant flow of detritus material of diet and minerals that is worn down by wind and rain over millions of years at only 1 centimeter per year that is washed down into seas and oceans creating an impossibly slow reservoir of fossils that do not show any morphological change whatsoever.

The law in nature and physics is that of a path of least resistance in all matter that exists to follow a path that is easiest to maintain homeostasis,from quantum physics to gravity.This effect is a super position of probability that always acts according to the easiest path for matter/energy to flow.

Humans are at the forefront of the uncertainty principal that makes them the arbiter of reality by simply observing from moment to moment or action the result of existence itself to actualize.The famous double slit experiment of a light beam or the physicist John Wheeler who tested this effect whereby the past reveals the future event by requiring a man to observe only after the light beam has went through the slit without a result until later input by the observer.

Evolution is said to have no inherent path,only survival to breed.This is nonsense.The “Cambrian explosion” of advanced life forms at 550 million years ago such as trilobites,from simple bacteria earlier led Stephen Jay Gould to call it “punctuated equilibrium”,a term that suggests only magical evolutionary change without any primitive life forms other than single celled types.

This upends the geological column of slow flow of detritus into the oceans only creating a place for these fossils to show up fully formed.Thatvwould take an infinite time that never happened.

Why is 99.9% of all life that ever existed now extinct.

Certainly not slow evolution.

Darwin doubted his own conclusion when confronted.

Natan Slifkin seems to believe pure nonsense and pushes it.Evolution has no goal yet man can exert reality to collapse the “probability wave function”,from

an infinite superposition of possible outcomes of probability,into normal life by their five senses that causes reality by mere existence and human free will that allows this.

When did the ape of 7 million years ago become man?When did this individual be able to procreate with a non-ape evolved simultaneously.

Why did Neanderthal exist 600,000 years ago,but like Denisovan,Homoerectus and other archaic fire creating men not come out of Africa 50,000 years ago.Why are modern Homosapiens said to be 300,000 years in existence bypassing Neanderthal that died out 40,000 years ago after interbreeding with cromagnon,leaving hybrid fossils in Qafzeh and Skhul caves found in Israel recently.Why did homoerectus live more than 1 million years ago but his genes live on in the 3100 living humans that show a catastrophic event 900,000 ago that reduced his numbers to a few hundred at that time?

Why did one of only six full human skulls ever found in Ethiopia thought to homo habilis but turned out to be “an “evolutionary contradiction”,in the later review?

Why did the several skulls found in the Dmanisi cave in the Caucasus nation of Georgia refute the different evolutionary prototypes that were invented as representing fact not fiction?

Why are there myriad ghost DNA in living humans whose forebears were not apes but extinct humans,such as Pygmies?

Why are only Asians with Denisovan ancestry,not Europeans?

Why is there no Neanderthal DNA in Africa except for mixed genetic people such as the European 2-4%,who have returned only since the Roman Empire.

Answers please or a new religion of fools.

Your complete ignorance of all the sciences, biology, chemistry, physics, astronomy would be laughable if it weren’t so pathetically sad that many think like you do….

You claim to be modern orthodox but are a left wing fanatic ruled by your emotional outburst.Unless you are really the owner of this website and a pseudonym needing an alter ego to respond as your foolish response cannot tolerate any dissent.
