Charlie Hall; I never attributed the Big Bang theory to Darwin. I merely enumerated it among the other “Non-sequiturs”. Now. the theory of Evolution per se is no contradiction to the theory of Creation. Even “Creationists” will concede that there is a certain degree of Evolution both, among the species and Earth itself. Statements along those lines are found in the Talmud. But in the form of the Darwin theory that they evolved over Billions of Years is wrong. Indeed, Rabbi Jonathan of Eibschutz has a theory that goes in the opposite direction. Namely. That as punishment for participating in the building of the Tower of Babel (or, Babble.) Hashem turned some people into monkeys (of various species). Hence, the similarity between Humans and apes. Especially, Chimpanzees. In other words. There is more than a kernel of truth to Darwin’s observations, but he went wrong in his conclusions.
