to ‘the kanoi next door:’ first, I don’t even understand your reference to “MO”. what does my remark have to do with MO? second, this was not exactly a halachah discussion. This was an attempt by chez11 to “passel’ thousands of jews -frum jews,mind you- who have a certain belief in the creation of the world that is not and was never in any way opposed to an “ikkar’ in emunah. Check the Rambam’s thirteen ‘ani maamin”s. The gemoro even says that no one should delve into “maaseh bereishis”. So, it is disingenious of you to hide behind “a halachic discussion”, it wasn’t and you should check some of the subsequent comments by others. To assert that soemone who believes in an evolutionary world is a “kofer’ and an “apikores’ just deepens the chasm that is between some on the extreme right of the spectrum and the other jews.
