How do the discoveries of science synthesize with the truth of the Torah? Rabbi Breitowitz delivers a unique approach to the conflicts between science and religion.
I have all due respect and hat off to this wonderful Rabai for he is a very convincing speaker and fun to listen to.Im a muslim and love well educated people and their humbleness.
He is everything. Why Jews are so special. I swear I have lisent many wise men,But Jewish men are fuckin special. They are like the centre of this univers,you want it or not they will attract you more and more and will become the main reason of your existence the reason why you wana be speak eat wake up etc ... Is just amazing.. the reasons I believe in God is because of Jews,they seem to be the proof of his existence.
As a lifelong student of both the Bible and science, I see no contradictions. Rabbi's explanations are definitely plausible. Most importantly to me is that Torah is correct, and as far as my earthly curiosity is concerned, science and religion are very interesting. However, in my spiritual relationship with G-d, paraphrasing Isaiah, the pot doesn't question the Potter.
Simply " Religion and Science " "science give you what , Religion give you why ." Understandings of Rabbi are very simple even a child can easily understand. wow
Happy to listen to the theory of the age of the earth and his quoting Homes opinion, " It does not matter whether the Sun rotates earth or the earth rotating the sun " to me. Good ending to the complicated question. Thank you Rabbi Yitzchak Breitowitz.
Why do physicists pursue unitary explanation? Beauty is the reason. To find a totality of architectural connection amidst the maelstrom of complexity invokes profound wonder. To feel wonder - the amazement of majestic mystery - and at the same time comprehend abstract intricacies brings unsurpassed joy.

I'm paraphrasing a comment I found on the Internet, and as I think about this topic, I agree: The more I think about and develop Artificial Intelligence (AI), the more I believe in G-d.
regarding the Table, a large object made of many small things, one professor calculated the odds of chair to levitate by itself; the result is that odds are so minuscule it might as well never happen
The water in Gen. verse 2 is not prior to day one. The Tohu 'void' in that verse was during conception/design phase, so verse 2 spans from prior to the start of time and day one till after the start of time with the start on early day one, of the hyper-dense physical universe. verse 2 is a back and fill after the general statement verse one.
Deep-time billions of year age of the universe is a scientific dead-end. Rav Kaplan may have been assuming the so called 'current consensus experts' were right, and not the self-fools it turns out those who preclude the 5782 anno-mundi age of the universe, are.
The worlds created 'before' this one could either: been brought back to absolutely nothing, or created early literal day one to help create the heavy elements.
As it turns out not only did Moshe Torah (Word of G-d) Testimony have it right to begin with, and alone has stood the test of time for the detail, scope and span, covered. Which is what we would expect if (as it is duly recorded and) direct from The One designer/creator of the universe aka G-d of Abraham, who alone had/has 100% perspective, so is the highest credible level of testimony. continued
..G-d of Abraham, who alone had/has 100% perspective, so is the highest credible level of testimony. Now while probability-based science is not absolute, it turns out the mantle of pure science, the strongest science being the highest probability explanation of the empirical observations, is within YeC creation science. continued
I would say science deals with the question How? and religion deals with the question Why? However, I definitely see it as two sides of the same coin OH HEY you just said religion asks the "why" lol.
I really enjoy listening to you, but I have a hardship understanding one thing, the Torah preceded the world and the world was fashioned after the Torah and not the other way around, I'm fine with that, but the Torah says Adam sinned, so in a sense there is predetermination only because the Torah says, how can this be if the Torah says there is free will,
I am probably really wrong, but here are my guesses. God based the world off the Torah that didn't exist yet (which one can say that Adams fate was never there, to begin with) but only arrived with Moshe's arrival. So this way, Adam did kind of have free will, unless one says that if the Torah is a universal truth, then it must have to exist before Adam; thus, his fate was predetermined! So with this, can their ever be truly free will? For that, I say this has to do with our ignorant understanding of time. Humanity doesn't truly understand time since it's a humane invention. Maybe if we understand the true properties of time, everything would just make sense, but that's just unfathomable. Chabad.org discusses this and writes that "Maimonides refuses to leave the matter to faith, but neither does he assert that it can be understood. Rather, he explains to us just why a human mind is incapable of resolving this problem with clarity." Link to article: www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/3909393/jewish/Free-Will.htm
pharoah and moses-God hardened the pharoah then unhardened and again and again for the purpose of showing his glory. Humans have freewill to make choices in terms of freewill to desire this or that, BUT they are enslaved to their desires. If a person is enslaved to the desire to fall in love with another man's wife say, then he is still desiring that woman, so it doesnt go against his free will as with his desires he is desiring this object. And if you asked that man, he would be completely happy with his desire. God's sovereignty is the topics of the torah not man's free will. God must be totally sovereign over everything for God to be sovereign, including humans.. isaiah : All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away.
If your Truth seeking is pure and open minded, and if you tend to embrace what the 'science community' says about origins, do yourself a favor and research the many fallacies in 'sciences' doctrines and dogmas on this subject.... The Real World evidences which refutes and exposes sciences' fallacious claims on origins are at your fingertips to be found.
“What” and “why” may be different questions, nevertheless the concept of god is clearly a fantasy left over from the bawling infancy of the species. Another way to put it might be this: god is simply a metaphor for a mystery that is beyond all categories of human thought.

I love the work and teaching of Rabbi Breitowitz normally. He is a halachic genious and such a clear orator and teacher. However, as both a scientist, and Jew, I must disagree with the fundamental thesis of this video. Science and religion are "not apples and oranges", they are not separate. For example, evolution as a theory, offers an account of life that is devoid of any creator at any stage of the theory. The physical laws and the mechanisms of random mutation and natural selection , from the point of view of science, offer a completely unguided, unplanned expalanation of both the origin and development of life. No G-d is necessary on this view. Any honest scientist will tell you that this is the belief held in academic circles. And this is why evoution is the biggest proof offered by atheists regarding a lack of evidence for a Creator. The truth is the "what" does have implications as to the "why." I am really dissapointed with the Rabbi's statements because it shows an unfortunate lack of understanding of the scientism, philosophy etc. of the atheist/materialist.
@@xRezurexii it depends on what you mean by "evolution"...If you mean by it an unintended process of random mutation and natural selection as the main mechanism...then not only does this conflict with religious faith...but for me conflicts with the scientific evidence itself...
He disclosed he is not an expert on this topic. No widespread public model that had reconciled the big issues (distant starlight and a light speed limit of standard light speed) with the age of the universe being 5782. Now that reconciliation is known. Not only can the science reconcile with that, but that falsifies for all intents and purposes (94.260 quintillion: 1 parsimony) all deep-time dependent scientific hypotheses and assumptions, based on the vast body of empirical observations, that are CMB, cosmological redshift.
Scientific "theories" go through rigorous testing and peer review before they're accepted, and even then they're forever open to review. By contrast, religion tends to be dogmatic. But beyond dogmatism, most religious assertions are just stupid; insults to the human intellect.

rabbi with all due respect, there are processes in nature that create order out of chaos. gravity is one of them (planets self assemble); atoms, chemicals, and biology are another example. evolution or order does not require a watchful designer. in terms of the gross simplifications you made about newtonian and quantum physics, you must learn about COMPLEX SYSTEMS to dispell some of these myths. self-assembly, co-evolution, free energy. Even macroscopic collections of object display "intelligent" behavior. newtonian can only describe what happens with a few large objects. even binary or ternary star systems become too complex. PLEASE LEARN ABOUT COMPLEX SYSTEM DYNAMICS. Science is as concerned with HOW as it is with WHAT. seeking for a united set of principles is not the same as searching for intelligence. I personally think religion is a socio-cultural construct for community (and army) cohesion and replication. myths help communities identify, align, and perpetuate themselves. to learn about complex systems, read james gleick's "chaos"
I understand you talk about the Christianity which is not based on the Holy Bible, King James Version. For example, there is nothing in the Holy Bible which states the sun and stars rotate around the Earth.

Why do physicists pursue unitary explanation?
Beauty is the reason.
To find a totality of architectural connection amidst the maelstrom of complexity invokes profound wonder.
To feel wonder - the amazement of majestic mystery - and at the same time comprehend abstract intricacies brings unsurpassed joy.
Thusly clarity is the sibling of wonder
Clarity that is found when the immense and the minute are seen together.
Nature, while staggeringly complex, has cohesiveness.
A “soul”.

Thank you for gifting the world with added clarity.
