Abstract

*** In the beginning, Judaism starts with Creation. Genesis’ narrative of Creation stresses that important processes in the universe started long before humanity (or even life) appeared on the scene; we need to study and understand them. These natural phenomena not only shape and affect our existence; they are keys to the meaning and purpose of our lives. The first chapter of the first book of the Torah starts the story as far back as one can go—to the first moment of existence. The main point is that this universe is not the outcome of a random, accidental physical process, devoid of value and blind to purpose. The world is a Creation. Despite the astonishing variety of often conflicting phenomena, there is a fashioned order, an underlying unity to the universe. There are natural laws that govern the operation of forces in the Cosmos and the behavior of the particles that make up all existence.
