Torah min haShamayim: Conflicts Between Religious Belief and Scientific Thinking | Institute for Jewish Ideas and Ideals

Torah min haShamayim: Conflicts Between Religious Belief and Scientific Thinking | Institute for Jewish Ideas and Ideals: " Association of Orthodox Jewish Scientists was founded to resolve "the apparent points of conflict between scientific theory and Orthodox Judaism."[1] The claims of paleontology, cosmology, and especially evolutionary biology exposed contradictions with traditional beliefs that were hard to overcome-so hard, indeed, that Alvin Radkowsky (an eminent nuclear physicist and leading member of the association) described the challenge as "a test of faith comparable to that faced by the biblical Abraham."[2]"
