In another group, a Jewish scholar had a comment on Creationism which was
incidental to his main point. I copied just the part mentioning Creationism
and it is reproduced below:

=====================================================
As a Jew, I am offended when a person who does not even know the Torah
thinks that they can claim possession of "my Bible". The Five Books of
Moses are most certainly not "your Bible," but the flat translations that
you have could well be "your Bible." As a Jew who is attempting to work
with non-believers, scientists, and hard-nosed skeptics, I find it both
offensive and debilitating to have to explain that the Torah does not
suggest such obvious misteachings as literalism and its stepchild, creationism.
