    wow- pretty smart and witty for 13… and people say that the school systems dont work…

    zoos- in florida there is something called butterfly world. I do not know where it is, but it is amazing- you can walk in a building where the butterflies can roam freely and even land on you…

    Sadly most of the zoos I have been to in the US are outdoor non-enclosed zoos which feature two-legged vilde chayes. There is an enclosed zoo in DC called Congress which has 400 and something 2 legged behemas when it is in session.

    Or as we used to say before Giuliani – the most dangerous vilde chayes in the Bronx Zoo have 2 legs.

    yeah cuz that’s so possible. you warp the concept of God and limit His abilities and then you wanna be considered a believer? you’re messed up.

    There have certainly been some attempts to reconcile the Darwin theory of evolution with Torah. There are also misunderstandings of the Darwin theory that make it seem as if human beings descended from the apes whereas I believe that the theory only posits that man and the apes have a common ancestor (some have mistakenly identified a species called Homo inferioris alsharptonis as this ancestor but this is not possible as said species has only a physical resemblance to a human being )!

    However, the theory is full of holes. Darwin himself said he could not explain the human eye – which is really a huge flaw considering how important the eye is to any being and to the ecosystem.

    It also tries to take out the G-dliness of creation chas vesholom. Yes, it is very convenient to believe that the tiger and the zebra have the fur patterns that they do because both species need to hide in the grass, one to hunt and the other to avoid being hunted.

    Yet, those patterns are not all that effective – the creatures would be far better served with far duller patterns. And no matter what, the zebra ends up becoming prey, and the tiger does not have to hide in the grass when it wants to knock off a water buffalo or an unsuspecting villager.

    Those 2 creatures, and others like them, look the way they do because Hashem shows His power of creating beauty through nature. (Never mind flowers and other fauna, the patterns of which show no particular “evolutionary” need).

    The only possible value of the theory of evolution is that until Moshiach reveals the secrets of creation, some scientists apparently look to so-called evolutionary mechanisms of cells to devise antibiotics and anti-malignancy drugs. Yet, again, the first antibiotic was revealed in what non-believers call a fortunate accident and what we should see as hashgocho protis.

    And social evolutionism is plain nonsense which flies in the face of Torah and in its worst form leads to systems such as Naziism.

    Fine. If you want, I’ll say this:

    “I’m a heretic.”

    Happy? I don’t know why you insist that it must be true, but if you say so…

    Anyways, mid-winter VaK starts Friday, so please find me a place to go!

    ames – you don’t wanna accept loshon hora? be my guest. but don’t be stupid.

    darwin – do i sound like the type to label people? my question is, how can you be frum if you don’t believe that God is IT? because if He’s limited in any way that the whole torah is garbage. which would mean you don’t have to keep anything.

    maybe i’m backwards but at least i have the base. you have the cream without the cake.

    moish, I’m really not sure. Doing those things don’t necessarily make one frum, although they may appear to be frum.

    Asd and anonymiss – pls see my earlier post regarding what Rav Ovadia Yosef shlit”a (may he continue to enjoy good health ad bias hagoel) has to say about visiting the zoo. When I go I don’t spend much time though – I head quickly for the bear, tiger and lion exhibits and then to find a weird looking primate for meshane habriyois. I spent perhaps 30 minutes at the Bronx Zoo and most of that was walking.

    #636227

    Yes, yes… but could you guys please suggest places for me to enjoy?

    SyrianSephardi, did the elephants try to take everyone’s wallets and handbags and then empty the money out? If so that wasn’t the zoo, that was Knesset and those weren’t elephants, those were politicians!
