My question is that we see that the world was an extremely different place when it was created – I think it’s fair to say that Adam could not be called human at least in the way that we are human. For example, I think I recall hearing that he was gigantic. Like 100 amos or something. Also considering the fact that there was a “snake” walking on legs and that there used to be giants who could pick up mountains, and there was huge fruit that the Meraglim brought pack – the world was simply a very, very different place when you go back so long ago.
So my question is, could it be that the “animals” that were created before Adam might not have necessarily resembled the animals that we have today, just like it might be fair to say that we might not really resemble what “people” looked like in the times of Adam and subsequently Og, etc…
My question is not meant to deny Hashem – it is wondering if a case could be made to reconcile some of the scientific evidence that has been found in present times with the little that we know of what the world was like at the dawn of man and whether it is possible that Hashem could have caused some sort of evolutionary process to take place over time that has caused the evidence that scientists have claimed they found presently?
This is a legitimate question that I have always wondered. It is meant for people who have really thought about it to respond and hopefully provide me some answers, civilly and intellectually, without simply screaming “kefirah” and “apikorus” and refusing to talk about it. Any help and/or answers are appreciated.
