Reply To: Dealing with an Atheist "Convert"

I do not think Science and the Torah really clash, the clash is actually articifical.

While I belive in Torah Umaddah, One could easily say Scientific discoveries are in the torah, but where there are is not found. Is the City of New York in the Torah, I dont know (It obviously did not exist in the time of the Gemorah and the continent of North America was not known). Is the planets of Uranus and Neptune (I am leaving the argument of Pluto out of this) in the torah, Rabbanim were not looking for Uranus and Neptune so they never found them (You need a Telescope to see them.

While some might consider this Kefira, Is the Big Bang Theory so differnt than creation. A Big Bang formed the universe, Science does not actually say what caused the big bang (They Postulate) but one could easily say Hashem caused the Big Bang .

Just because it was discovered by a Scientist instead of a Rov doesnt mean its incompatible with Torah.
