Science is the study of those things G‑d thinks about,
by one of His thoughts.

Torah is the study of G‑d thinking.

Based on letters and talks of the Rebbe, Rabbi M. M. Schneerson
From the wisdom of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, of righteous memory; words and condensation by Rabbi Tzvi Freeman. To order Rabbi Freeman’s book, Bringing Heaven Down to Earth, click here.

Thinking His Thoughts
It can only be activated within us, when we are Sanctified Holy and inviting his Divine Presence in to our lives; and keep right in the face of G-d.

G-d is continually trying to imprint his thoughts in our world.

Thusly, the mystery is ours.

HE is uncreated

& his mode of Creation involves the alphabet of Creation (as in the Aleph Bet);

G-dliness is ... a field energy of his participation, his modus operandi, his "thought"

But, HE is unlimited in his scope & domain

HE is one-ness & plurality;

Mystery and Ultimate Truth (Emmuna)

:) so when we participate in 'G-dliness': prayer, study, mitzvah, etc. we co-share in an energy field that He created for us:

may we go forward with Grace in our hearts and minds in the (re) making of this "Thought": ... word, deed, action :

Think His Thoughts
If I refer to G-d as ayn sof as I prefer to do, then how could I dispute these thoughts?

answer
regarding, "What are we to Torah?", We are the listeners and readers of his thoughts.

Science vs. Torah?
I look to the Torah as the final authority. Mankind is flawed in his present state. If we were to understand what the Torah says from Hashem's perspective instead of our seemingly intellectual state of mind, or our doctrines of our own making, it would hopefully humble us so much that all we could do would beg for His mercy. No wonder in Psalms it says He laughs at us. Mankind as a whole is to arrogant to admit it is wrong in His eyes.

You make an effort to raise Torah above Science by leaving out the phrase "by one of his thoughts". That line should be in both statements or neither. Can Torah not stand above without your word trickery?

The Trouble With Thinking!
One of mankind's biggest problems is that it has forgotten to think about what Hashem thinks first. This makes a good case why, when in doubt, look to the Torah about His position before implementing our position. The world might be a different place! Shalom!

What are we to Torah?
If Torah is the study of G-d thinking? Than what are we to Torah?

relax man, you don't have to pick it apart with a technical analysis. Rabbi Freeman keep up the good Torah work. This is an awesome sentence to ponder.
