Being a Rabbinical Teacher, I much prefer the loving instructions in the Torah (Bereshith/Genesis). Yahweh shows us that He designed Human after He designed all the animals. His Salvation (Yahs Salvation) actually did the physical duties. See Proverbs 30:4. Nothing is said about cloneing or mutations. We (human) are works of the Hands of the Mighty creator and are more precious than any work of art or treasure. When we destroy His Creation we are committing whitchcraft, by putting ourselves above the Master Designer. When we negate the Loving Instructions Torah) with a strange doctrine (Darwinism) we are stepping on dangerous ground.
There is nothing in the theory of evolution which negates the belief that God created man with His own hands.
The dispute over evolution, in my mind at least, is over the mechanism. And I don't think God thought that was of any theological significance, or He would have elaborated on it in the Torah.
