Genesis & The Big Bang: Are They Compatible? (#264)

Be sure to watch the video version of this episode with slides

You Can Count the Stars, A Jewish Astronomer’s Journey! Think back
to the late-night dorm room discussions from your college days. We
are going to talk about cosmology, the Big Bang, and more from two
perspectives, from the perspective of an astrophysicist and the
perspective of a Torah observant Jew and ask what they may have in
common, and how they differ. How can you reconcile when one seems
to be in conflict with the other? I think it's very, very crucial
for modern people, secular or religious, to confront. It is said
the signature of God is truth. So if something isn't true, then it
can't be found to be resonant with notions of eternal truth and
perhaps ultimate truth. I'll take you on my Jewish journey which
will take us around the planet, and, and maybe beyond. And then I'm
going to have some interesting confluences between the study of
what we do in cosmology and also something that the Torah speaks
about a great length, which is the most humble substance in the
world -- dust, and hopefully we'll see a delightful connection
between those. And then a simple question, if we have time, can
science to prove God? That's the question I get second most after
"how can you be a scientist and believe in God and the Torah?" And
then the third most frequent question I get is, can science prove
God's existence? Join me for an exploration of religion and
science, including My Jewish journey, How much cosmology is in the
Bible? And can science prove God exists? Plus problems with Gerald
Scroeder's God and the Big Bang and more! Connect with me: Twitter:
