The Measure of a Man

After 15 years of rumors, researchers in the U.S. and Ethiopia on Thursday made public fossils from a 4.4-million-year-old human forebear they say reveals that our earliest ancestors were more modern than scholars assumed and deepens the evolutionary gulf separating humankind from today's apes and chimpanzees.

Like the Big Bang theory, evolution from the primates is disturbing to the human soul because both theories contend that human existence and freedom of choice are mere accidents of nature derived over millions of years; though there is no scientific confirmation just huge unexplainable gaps of time still these theories persist. Now, completely contradictory hard evidence.

How does the Torah explain this phenomenon of human skeletons million of years old unrelated to the chimpanzee from whom which the human is supposed to have evolved?

A few hundred years after the flood of Noah from planet Mars as described in the Zohar-Book of Secret the Tower of Babel was erected; through his adroit use of the language of creation Nimrod was able to command the angels and soon built a structure that could be seen from the earth as explained in the Midrash-Book of Metaphor. The Talmud-Book of Law states that God intervened in the building destroying the upper third of the tower with fire but the lower third fell to the earth and the bodies of the people within that third of the Tower turned into ape-like creatures.

Perhaps the trip caused their bodies to appear to be millions of years old.
