The age of the universe is a hotly debated topic. Science confidently asserts the world is 15 billion years old, while the Torah clearly states it was created less than 6,000 years ago. With such divergent accounts, thoughtful questions arise. Are the scientific proofs truly ironclad? Could assumptions have crept in that contradict the Torah's narrative? Did time function differently before the laws of nature were set? Perhaps there are hidden complexities in the Genesis story we've yet to unravel. What exactly do the Rishonim say? This week, we re-examine the genesis of it all. Join us as we unpack the scientific methods used to date the age of the universe and explore whether they hold up to scrutiny. Venturing back to the ancient past, we'll gain insight from illuminating Torah sources and search for compelling resolutions to this fundamental contradiction. The creation story begs for deeper study, and fascinating discoveries await those who dive in.
