What are your thoughts on evolution?

Zalman

Our holy book called the Torah, or the Bible in English tells us that God created the world in six days.  Some Jews think it means six normal days.  Other Jews think the six days don't really mean days, they just mean an amount of time.  One of our books says that a thousand years is like a day for God, so maybe there are God days, not normal days.  The sequence of things being created in the Creation story is similar to the Evolution theory, fish, before animals and animals before people.  If the theory of Evolution is correct, some Religious Jews would think that God was the one who organised it.
