You obviously don't know much about Judaism to ask that question. Nor do you have very good reading comprehension skills if you need to be shown where in that article it says that Judaism is accepting of evolutionary theory. Sorry I can't read it for you--maybe your mom will do that.

about ten years ago I went for a position in a church/religion to raise money for charitable works, at the time £40,000 per anum plus expenses, was the salary.(the equivalent in todays money would be about double) who needs that much for an admin job. Several question were ask of me, I was told I got the job, bar for the head of the churches agreement, he met me and asked me one question, "the minimum they wanted raised was £20,000 per anum, how would I gain that amount", so I told him what I told the other guy in the interview I had with him, then I added a little extra I said " I could start right now by halving the salary I would recieve " I didn't get the job.
The church, any church have at their base tenet, the need for money irregardless of how much they give to charity, twice as much again lines their own pockets, the would not get charitable status unless the gave something to charity.
I would say about maximum of 20% of the monies recieved goes to charity, the rest once the bills are paid, just makes the elders/pastors/popes/imans etc... richer.
you'll never see a poor bishop/rabbi/cleric etc...

Max, this is getting rediculous. I know plenty of Jewish people and have listened to many Rabbi's speak. They believe humans have a soul and it was not that long ago where you could not find one Jewish Rabbi who just accepted evolution at face value, which TBH i tend to agree with that. So yeah i would like for you to point out in the article where it supports your assertions.
As far as the previous post Orthodox ARE conservative.
Ok John here goes. The following quotes are from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_views_on_evolution
In response to your claim that most Conservative Jews believe that the world was created 6000 years ago (BTW, while you're on Wikipedia I suggest you look up the difference between Conservative & Orthodox Judaism since you really don't seem to have a clue in that regard):
In regards to your statement that "most of your conservative Rabbi's would shy away from evolution entirely"
In regards to Orthodox Judaism, which is NOT the same:
And finally in regards to your claim that "it was not that long ago where you could not find one Jewish Rabbi who just accepted evolution at face value." I would point to
Probably the idea of a "total package" like christianity has all the answers etc......and the few things it cannot solve are just tossed into the lap of "gods will"..........
for me personaly there is something enlightening about admitting you dont know shite......free's your brain from the confines of being FULL to the brim with so called "knowledge" and opens it up for true thought, ideas, critical thinking, and new possibilities.......
You see a lot of poor pastors in Australia, but it could just be different over here. I know I'll never have to repay my study loan because you only have to pay that back when you earn over $45000 a year. And I've been told by fellow Bible College students that max is around $35000 a year.
Introduce some facts. Even one single fact. We have no evidence other than known christian forgeries and the very fallible gospels that Jesus even existed.
Cancelling Christmas and Easter would do it...

M*W: I agree. I don't put up a tree or get in the madding crowd. I admit that I do shop a bit toward xmas eve, but only to find good bargains!
If anything American society (I can't speak for any other) will add as many holidays to the calendar for retail purposes. I don't succumb to this brainwashing either.
