Mostly, you see Crazy Conservative Christians out there against evolution.
But, I wonder, why aren't Jewish conservatives more vocal?

Jewish people are smart enough to know that Evolution doesn't conflict with a belief in God.

Jews have this thing called "commentary" on the Bible, and from these commentaries, one can see that words sometimes are more allegorical than literal in the Bible, and also realize that since the sun was not even mentioned until the fourth "day" that there is no way that earth could have had 24 hour days before that.. If you look into the words, you would see how it seems more to parallel evolution that the fairy tale Christians tell..

because jews don't take it 100% word for word, its left for interpretation. there are old jewish ppl who sit around and spend all of their time arguing about what the old testamony is really implying.
also the begining if the old testamony has two creatinism storys, the story of adam and eave, and the story of 7 days, one they were just there and the other god creates them
finally, god created the world works with evolution. god created the big bang, then land formed out of the water, or water condensated on the land to form oceans, then by chance two micro organisms were created. or god created the first two micro organisms adam and eve.
comming from a jew thats how I feel

because many conservative Jews are pro Science/Evolution. The ones that are not largely insulate themselves from society.

Good question.
I think that, even if the jewish thought it was wrong, they wouldn't say anything. Many long years of persecution and hatred have taught them the value of keeping their mouths shut unless directly asked.
Not to mention, they support education.

Mostly because rates of education are pretty high among Jews.

It is even crazier to think one could actually seperate creationism and evolution in the first place. Without one you cannot have the other.

Jews are intelligent. That's why.
