Torah and Science, Part 1: The Big Bang & the Age of the Universe

Do Torah teachings and scientific findings really contradict, or can they be reconciled? In Part 1, we explore the Big Bang and the age of the universe through the lens of Torah and Judaism to discover that, in fact, there is no contradiction at all between ancient wisdom and modern discoveries.
Topics discussed include cosmology and Genesis, time dilation, the Lorentz transformation, cosmic microwave background radiation, cosmic cycles of time, the formation of Earth and the solar system, as well as the work of Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan and Dr. Gerald Schroeder.
(This talk is partly based on chapters 1 and 55 of 'Garments of Light'. Get the book here: www.lulu.com/en/us/shop/efrai...)

This was amazing and I’m not even Jewish! Wow thanks! I’m going to rewatch and share with my peers,

[@Growthisinthedirt]

I really like Brian Greene, who you mentioned. He did a great little series on PBS about Quantum Physics. I had read the book of Enoch but after watching that series i reread the book of Enoch and understood more of the book. I'm binge watching all of your classes Rabbi. I'm about to run out. I'm hoping you have more on your website. I will go back and watch them again. Your a Great teacher!! Thanks for all of your hard work!! 😇

Rabbi, Brian Greene's short PBS series (see PBS.Nova called "The Fabric of the Cosmos") might be something you want to show your science class. It could change up your format for them to see the videos vs. you explaining things. Just a thought. You do explain things so well. Bc Brian explained things so simply in the series, it made me excited about quantum physics in my 40's. I'm 56 now. 🤗. 💞 From Memphis Tennessee

Thank you for the feedback and the suggestion. I actually do show clips of Brian Greene explaining quantum physics in my science classes :)

יישר כוח עצום There may be a different approach to the idea of מחריב בונה עולמות Meaning,מחריב,=return to singularity and בונה=expansion and inflation from the singularity perhaps proving a cyclic progression up until this,the present universe

[@ronaldcalandra636]

Excellent

I donot understand the justification of being in the 7th shmitta

[@user-jb4hh2ps2d]

FRINGE a great series

[@mc-lb9dk]

generations are never 40 years, in those years it would have been close to 20 years. 7 billion years. This is creative calculating

[@lxmzhg]

There is nothing in the Bible which claims: "He first made a singular point."

[@messiahtorahamerica]

Light means the singular point. From this unicity divided came darkness and light. Deut 6 G-d is One.

[@PsychesMuse]

point "means" purpose. THAT is Thee/Point!
