Hear a clear scientific explanation of the Torah's account of creation. Mr. Gans compares updated scientific theories to statements Torah scholars have been making throughout the ages. See if this 'Torah model of creation' sounds as tight as any theory you've heard from the scientific community at large.
Torah Codes: lucky chance or divine design? Everyone is really curious about this one. Harold Gans, an experienced educator who is personally involved in the scientific investigation of the hidden prophesies within the Bible, explains precisely what these spooky codes are, how they were discovered and the awesome odds of them just being interesting coincidences.
Are the Torah Codes which have been discovered in the Bible a roll of the dice, or are they Divine design? Harold Gans, who for years has been involved in the scientific investigation of the hidden prophesies in the Bible, explains how they were discovered, precisely what these spooky codes are meant to convey, and with a few choice examples shows what awesome odds there are against them being a random roll of 7/11.
Evolution claims that all living creatures evolved from inorganic matter. Quoting sources from Darwin, experts and scientific journals, Mr Gans presents scientific evidence against and for such a process to occur.
Were you ever disturbed by the thought that Torah is an illogical and superstitious old belief that has no bearing on today's reality? Listen to a remarkable spin on the 'creation' narrative which seriously questions this perception. Dr. Goldfinger suggests how Torah and modern science are not the diametric opposites they are made out to be.
Thinking that Judaism is a random integration of mitzvahs and laws is not really what it's all about. Hear how all the mitzvahs complement and interact with each other to reach one singular goal - to make the world a better place to live. Sample commandments are given that demonstrate this power to those willing to give it a try.
The scientific discovery of a "kohen gene" began the process of genetically tracing the Jews of today back to their ancestral roots. Hear the early hypothesis and the subsequent discovery of how it came to link all Jews back to the Middle East. This talk looks at the science, implications and applications of these results.
Holding a dual doctorate in Nuclear Physics and Oceanography from MIT, along with high-level research in chemistry and planetary sciences, Dr. Gerald Schroeder has a decided edge over most of today's “honored” Bible critics. Hear, in very down to earth terms, how he reconciles the Biblical account of creation with the scientific understanding of what could very likely have transpired “In the Beginning.”
Can we ever be certain that we do indeed have free will? Maybe our free will was installed like other things within? And has a way been discovered that can measure this scientifically? Dr. Schroeder probes this enigmatic subject by using the first murder in history to determine whether or not identical 'causes' will produce identical 'effects.’
The concepts of choice 'and free will' are intrinsically embedded in Torah and Jewish thought. But what are the implications of choice? Do all forms of life (i.e. plants and animals) have free will too? Hear the physicists 'party line' on free will, and join Dr. Schroeder as he brings this illusive power we possess down to earth - and then takes it one step further.
