Stars, Cells, and God

When the Hebrew Bible Meets Modern Physics

Join astrophysicist Hugh Ross and Rabbis Elie Feder and Aaron Zimmer as they discuss scientific features in Scripture that point to the reality of God’s existence.

In this episode, the conversation opens with Isaiah 40:25–26 as a strikingly modern reflection on the ordered structure of the cosmos. The call to “lift up your eyes” resonates with three insights from contemporary physics: the universe’s extraordinarily ordered, low‑entropy beginning; the fine‑tuned constants that make stars and galaxies possible; and the deeper patterns of nature that suggest purposeful design rather than chance.
