Thanks for the back-up. I know it must be difficult for you when most Catholic FReepers are fanatical evolutionists and higher critics on the Hebrew Bible.

You will note, btw, that all the "we Jews are evolutionists" posters have completely and studiously ignored my point: that authentic Orthodox Judaism, even if it has room for an evolutionary interpretation of the Creation itself (and this is not my position), insists that when Adam arrives on the scene that we are dealing from that point onward with real people and real events. Those Orthodox Jews who have issued pro-evolution statements (you will notice) avoid bringing this little point up but allow the listeners to draw the conclusion that Judaism tolerates higher criticism of the Torah. IT DOES NOT. And I defy any of the "we Jews are evolutionists" posters to deny this (and how many of these posters are members of heretical "branches" that deny that the Torah is from Heaven?).

Holocaust denial is a Divine punishment for Jewish silence in the face of Biblical criticism and Mircea Elide-style claims that the Torah is mythology.

Really? And I suppose the Holocaust itself was divine preemptive punishment for future-support of Kadima?
