Each week offers a different keynote speaker, Q & A, refreshments and socializing. This year’s theme: “Religion AND Science… or Religion OR Science?”
  Dr. Richard Green, UA Assistant Director for Government Relations, Steward Observatory presents, “Cosmology and Jewish Thought”
  Scientific observation describes a Universe that started at a single moment with a big bang. The Jewish view of a Creator of the physical Universe for the purpose of understanding Divine will and of existence is not violated by today’s scientific description. While science addresses how things work, only religious thought attempts to answer “why.”
