i suggest that those of you (joseph, etc.) who seem to insist that evolution is somehow “assur” (which, as wolfish points out above generally indicates a fundamental misunderstanding of the theory of evolution) should take a look at the Ramban at the beginning of parshas bereishis. there, the ramban says that the word ‘bara’ (as in “bereshis bara…” refers to a creation of ‘yesh me’ayin’ (‘something from nothing’), and he says that this term is used only by the creation of ‘shamayim’ and ‘aretz’. the ramban goes on to say that hashem essentially created these two formless elements of ‘shamayim’ and ‘aretz’, and in subsequent days these two elements were formed and molded into other creations (but these later creations were not ‘yesh me’ayin’ as shamayim and aretz were).

while i acknowledge in advance there may be questions on this ramban, i suggest that joseph and others here take the time to study this ramban before ranting that evolution is ‘assur’ and ‘krum’.
