Professor Richard Leakey predicts skepticism over evolution will soon be history, the avowed atheist says, Extinction is always driven by environmental change; I think we have to recognize that the future is by no means a very rosy one.
The pessimism of atheism stems from a view of creation based on an infinite universe that, given enough time, will spontaneously create something; given infinite time anything is possible and demise is inevitable. The Torah is adamant, Creation is a finite production of the Creator.
In a finite creation, like a book with a beginning middle and end, a story is being told regarding the relationship between Creator and creation; the story does not end with a bang or a whimper but with conclusion that brings together the major protagonists – God and man.
In order to maintain freedom of choice, both opinions lack conclusive proof yet both have compelling evidence. Science has bones dating back millions of years while Torah has inscrutable knowledge portending different conclusions – the infinite and the finite are the two sides of free choice.
The basis of free choice derives from our view of God – only God who is infinite can create a confine; every confine has a unique structure, like a snowflake. Within the geometry of creation can be deduced the story written by the Creator being acted out by creation.
