But if an ancient tradition can claim to be not                 only ancient but also timeless and contemporary, it has a far                 greater chance of convincing each new, young generation of its                 value. Such a claim requires that each generation’s                 retelling use the new metaphors of the new generation. \u003cbr\u003e—from Chapter 1 \u003c\/p\u003e            \u003cp\u003eIn our era, we often feel that we can                 either speak about God or think scientifically about the world,                 but never both at the same time. But what if we reconciled the                 two? How could the basic scientific truths of how the natural                 world came to be shape our understanding of our own spiritual                 search for meaning? \u003c\/p\u003e            \u003cp\u003eIn this provocative fusion of religion and                 science, Rabbi David Nelson examines the great theories of                 modern physics to find new ways for contemporary people to                 express their spiritual beliefs and thoughts. Nelson explores                 cosmology, quantum mechanics, chaos theory, relativity, and                 string theory in clear, non-technical terms and recasts the                 traditional views of our ancestors in language that can be                 understood in a world in which space flight, atom-smashing, and                 black holes are common features of our metaphorical landscape. \u003c\/p\u003e            \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eJudaism, Physics and God\u003c\/i\u003e reframes Judaism so that it is in harmony with the conquests of modern scientific thinking, and introduces                 fascinating new ways to understand your relationship with God                 in context of some of the most exciting scientific ideas of the                 contemporary world. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Turner Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47111910752496,"sku":"9781580235488","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781580235488_p0.jpg?v=1763782424","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781580235488","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
