PLease see my 142. Of course we believe in Hashem. Of course in a loose sense we do believe in an intelligent designer. We believe part of His design were the laws of physics.

Genesis very clearly says God created mankind separate from animals. It takes an extremely strained view of the Torah to interpret it differently. Modern Orthodoxy believes in this notion of a “divine day,” wherein each day of creation equaled billions of years. But it also believes in intelligent design. I traveled to Israel and back and have not met an Orthodox rabbi that believes otherwise.

Again, I am not saying this means evolution is wrong. But I see a conflict in science and religion.
