Rabbi Efraim Palvanov

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: https://www.lulu.com/en/us/shop/efraim-palvanov/garments-of-light-70-illuminating-essays-on-the-weekly-torah-portion-and-holidays/paperback/product-1wryq9vn.html)
