Book Title Bringing Heaven Down to Earth
Based on letters and talks of the Rebbe, Rabbi M. M. Schneerson

332. Science & G-d

In the nineteenth century, many scientists had no use for G-d. Instead, they worshipped a tight chain of cause and effect that left no room for miracles, providence or prophecy.

But then the scientist looked into the atom and the wonder of the universe opened before him. The iron chain of cause and effect was loosened and Determinism deposed from its throne. Today, once again there is room for G-d in the minds of men.

Science is an expression of worship of G-d
True. True. What is science but a method of inquiry and validation to know more?

Just like poetry, science opens a universe that leads us to G-d.

Science attempts to ask. Religion attempts to answer. Lately the two have begun to honeymoon in our heads and become one conceiving more questions and deeper answers.

What used to be said was that if we had all the information, we could predict everything. But could we? It would seem from Chaos theory that we can never have enough information. We would need infinitely many decimal points. The smallest roundoff error produces huge deviations in the final result. Hence, the butterfly effect.

Sorry, I don't see a way to include the accent aigue of your name.

But I do see that you have said it all.

But did you mean previsions or provisions? And if previsions, what does that mean?

Thanks.

Science and G-d
With all due respect for the Rebe's position, I think one couldn't use the statistical nature of Quantum Mechanics for inferring that, since its advent, Science has left space for G-d. Physical Science works on logical grounds, whether deterministic or not, and previsions can made from this theories, and although its principle is in its nature, statistical, that doesn’t impede their predictions to be highly accurate. G-d doesn’t play dice with atoms, but elementary particles indeed obey remarkably well the Laws of Quantum Mechanics – that were made by G-d, in last instance.

The objection that should made, in fact, against the idolatry of Science that permeates our occidental culture is that one shouldn’t expect it to explain all that there is in life and in the Universe. For instance, will Science one day figure out what happened before the Big Bang? Will science explain us who we are? Where we are going to?
