As for Intelligent Design.
I do not believe in Intelligent design ch”v.
What I do believe in firmly is Maseh Bereishsis.
The world was created by One G-d.
Furthermore I firmly believe that what separates man from animal is out “neshomah” (or one of them) not our bodies which themselves are quite similar.
An yes I am aware that from Darwin on Galapagos Island till today, evolutionists are quite concerned with the biological similarities between the various species that exist.
To the point that billions have been spent researching these similarities and books after books written documenting them.
All I can say is that if you would have asked any Talmid Chochom with a thorough knowledge of the basic Seder Habriah they would have told you that probably the case, that how god created them.
