Again finding isolated fossils of various species, some of which appear to be extinct, which can all be explained by stating that a came from b which came from c which came from d proves absolutely nothing.
It merely says that if you do not believe in G-d and have no understanding of Maseh Bereshis and the underlying chochmah of Guf and Neshomah, and in addition to that disbelieve any notion of a “biblical Flood” even though virtually every single civilization has some sort of record of a Great Flood that closely parallels the Torah’s account, you are going to run into major problems.
And yes a lot of these problems can be explained away by the Theory of Evolution.
Now that Theory itself can be crazy, can have no direct proof (no there aren’t fossils of animals in transition meaning with wings that are partially legs etc..) but the Theory is the only way for an atheist to explain the World.
But does it qualify as proof?
One of the leading books written to counter Creationism attempts to “demonstrate” the absurdity of stating apes and humans do not share common ancestry by demonstrating how similar various parts the DNA are.
Is that proof?
Take out any Hashkafa Sefer and read how mans guf is the same as an Animal’s in fact we just heard Koheles on Succos where the point is made again and again “Man has nothing over animals”
The difference is the neshomah, not the guf.
So the bodies of humans are really similar to those of monkeys.
So what?
Basically if you take the tack of the early “Historical School of Judaism” the school that gave birth to the Conservative movement, by divorcing the “Spirit” of Judaism from the “laws” of Judaism, rendering a religion that was “lifeless with no theology what so ever. Well then thing get confusing.
(BTW, scientists saying something means nothing the question is whether or not the evidence bears them out)
