So let me take the lead and say unequivocally that my teacher R. Ahron Soloveichik had no problem with an "Old Earth". He was, however, no fan of evolution. See his book "Logic of the Heart, Logic of the Mind" in which he discusses these issues.

(re: Muffti's directive that we shut the fuck up about the JIBs). DK and TM, thanks for the love, dudes! Muffti liked that one too! And to think that rant could bring you two together for the second time today would warm the heart of the Muffti if he had one. Rav Menken, Gil student, enough was said a while ago.

While your here, any direct answer to the dinosaur and "Old Earth" questions, Rabbi Menken, or would you prefer to punt on those two for a change? Why not set the record straight? Surely it can be given a yes or no, at least in terms of possiblity? That it is possible that there were dinosaurs, and it is possible that the earth IS NOT less than 6,000 years young, but is billions of years older than that. Right? Hey, look who stopped by?

No, there's no slugfest. No, I did not insinuate some "seedy email campaign" -- that would indeed have been hypocritical, as I've emailed friends myself. What I "insinuated" was direct ballot stuffing, the source of which both Gil and I were equally unaware. And, lo and behold, I was absolutely right. Enough said? Ditto what Gil said.

That's hardly a slugfest between me and Rabbi Menken. And he actually turned out to be right. Two wise guys in a particular college sent a considerable number of votes my way. Come on.

I agree with TM for like the second time in only a year! I also thought Mufti's 13 Attributes was definitely the best Jewlicious post this year. Wow!

By the way, to add insult to injury with these JIBS, I think our best post this year wasn't Conservative Judaism but Muffti's Adonai Adonai http://www.jewlicious.com/index.php/adonai-adonai/ I vote for shin-kicking.

And I would like to propose that, in the future, the JIBAs not be settled by voting, but rather by an old-fashioned pistol duel. It's a win-win scenario: either people refuse to participate, or they get shot. Michael agrees with Muffti.
