Let There Be Light
Author: Howard Smith, Ph.D.
Publisher: New World Library
ISBN: 1577317467
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
In Let There Be Light, Howard Smith, a research astrophysicist and traditionally observant Jew, explores how modern scientific understandings of the cosmos complement Judaism's ancient mystical theology, the Kabbalah. He argues that science and religion are not only compatible, but that a healthy, productive dialogue between the two sheds light on ethics, free will, and the nature of life, while at the same time rejecting fundamentalist misinterpretation and the pseudoscience of creationism. Written for a general audience, yet supported by the most current and accurate scientific research, the book discusses topics such as modern quantum mechanics and mystical notions of awareness; how Kabbalah's ten sefirot mirror the developing phases of an inflationary universe; and the surprising parallels that exist between the Big Bang theory and Kabbalah's origin theory. Smith delves into complex ideas without resorting to jargon or mathematical equations, creating an intelligent, authoritative work accessible to all readers.

Book Description
Join me in an adventure where dreams are merged with reality and where nothing is as it seems. It was useless! The horrible images that surrounded the last days of the president’s life finally took over, and what little sanity I had left vanished as I plunged myself into an alternate state of reality. It was almost as if I was watching myself on a video as the events leading up to the president’s death began to unfold in the midst of my dreamlike state. At times, I could not tell whether I was actually dreaming or if I was really reliving the past. A sudden knock on the door seemed to jar me back to reality. -George-
