The Rabbinical Council of America (RCA) has "maintained that evolutionary theory, properly understood, is not incompatible with belief in a Divine Creator, nor with the first 2 chapters of Genesis." Prominent Orthodox rabbis have affirmed that the world is older, and that life has evolved over time in accord with natural law, painting natural law as the process by which God drives the world. There is, in parallel, a discussion on this subject by scientists in the Orthodox Jewish community. One of the most prominent is Yehudah Levi, who has written attempting to reconcile Jewish theology with modern scientific findings that the world is billions of years old and that life has evolved over time.
