This past week Yael and I went to the California Science Center and we saw a 3-D IMAX movie about the Hubble Telescope. Needless to say, it was pretty cool. They had these pictures of these stars and galaxies many millions of light-years away. They were probably digitally enhanced at least somewhat, but the basic idea doesn't change with that.
One of the points made in the movie was that in the entire galaxy, Earth is the only planet that science has found with the ability to sustain human life. It's perfectly suited and nothing else comes even close.
In general, I like learning about the universe and creation from the point of view of science and seeing how torah fits in with it all. Dr. Gerald Schroeder focuses on this a lot and I highly suggest listening to him and reading his books. One which I've started is "Genesis and the Big Bang". Anyway, just some suggested reading material.

Shouldnt it be how science fits within the torah?
ReplyDeleteOf course, but I wrote this post very late at night when I was half-asleep. Along those lines, the book which I actually started reading is "The Science of G-d" although I hear that "Genesis and the Big Bang" is pretty good as well.
