DBN,

Judaism does not consider the Torah to be a history or a science book. The story of Creation does not have to be taken literally, as has been discussed here many times. I have no problem with questions as to the age of the universe because I have absolute faith that Hashem is, was, and always will be the primary source of all.

I find it frustrating to constantly stand against science. As you know I do not trust science for various reasons, primarily that many scientists are not moral and to perform science without a basic moral background is foolish. But facts are facts, and they can be debated, and they can be analyzed. I think that the human endeavor for knowledge of this world is a noble and even a holy thing.

So basically I think that Judaism should not be considered 'Creationism' because it assumes the philosophy of a non-Jewish source. Judaism will always be pro-science because everything in this world was created by Hashem, and we should learn about his world and use it in a kosher way.

And also, isn't that guy the one who is not a Rabbi but he is seeking to convert people to Judaism? I don't respect that, and what I have heard of him I don't agree with... I don't consider him a 'Kosher' source of Jewish education.

--- Quote ---      Are science and Judaism opposed?   (top)

     Judaism has always been pro-science, requiring that current scientific knowledge be factored into Halachic (legal) decisions. Science is ongoing and constantly changing; but, with time, scientific theories are getting closer and closer to Judaism. Thus the Big Bang points to the fact that the world had a beginning, implying that it emerged in a creation[22], the attempt to combine the four forces of matter[23] illustrates the scientists belief that everything is ultimately one unity; Einstein’s theory that matter is energy males it easier to believe in spirituality; while probability allows G-d’s providence and our choice their rightful place.  There are many other examples of this[24].

     There may still be disagreements, but we can wait: science is still on the move and that movement is rapidly in the direction towards Judaism. As science gets closer and closer to Judaism, it will yet reconcile its final differences with the Torah.
