See also: Jewish opposition to evolutionHaredi rabbis have remained staunchly opposed to certain teachings in evolutionary theory. However, in contrast with the literalist biblical interpretation of some Christian creationists, some of them express openness to multiple interpretations of Genesis, through Jewish oral tradition and Jewish mysticism. They have also expressed an openness to evolutionary theory in biology, except where they perceive that it is in conflict with the Torah's account of creation.
