B'Or Ha'Torah - Science, Art & Modern Life in the Light of the Torah (Number 13)

Did Adam and Eve collapse the quantum wave function? The feature articles of volume 13E (2002) of B’OR HA’TORAH discuss the philosophic conclusion of quantum physics that G-d, human consciousness, and free will determine the shape of the physical universe. B’OR HA’TORAH is taking the initiative to bring this little known side of quantum physics to public attention in a series of fascinating groundbreaking articles that do not require scientific background but are of interest to the professional and academic reader. Other topics in the new issue are: the age of the Earth, continental drift, asteroid impacts, and the Flood; Darwinian fundamentalism; infinity in Torah and mathematics; finding G-d in the study of sociology of religion; rabbinic insights into behavior change; the false premise of Torah codes supporters; lending without interest in a Jewish state; and creative prayers of the mothers for the rebuilding of the Temple. The new issue is the largest yet volume of B’OR HA’TORAH and is adorned by an original color painting on the cover, superb poetry, and nature photography. Most of the papers were originally presented at the 1999 Third Miami International Conference on Torah and Science, which B’OR HA’TORAH organizes with The Shul of Bal Harbour and Florida International University.
