The Soul of Science. Wednesday, November 15, 2006. 21 Cutting Edge Religion. Over 500 New Zealand boys were studied over 25 years and compared for the incidence of sexually transmitted infections. The results: Uncircumcised boys have over 2.5 times the risk of infection between the ages of 18 and 25, even after controlling for confounding factors like number of partners and other precautions.[2]. What’s the lesson from all this? How did they know about the peaks in Vitamin K and prothrombin? Now if only ...

The Soul of Science. Thursday, September 28, 2006. Living in a materialistic society, this may not sound too convincing at first, but thanks to recent advances in science, technology and medicine even the most hard-nosed among us are starting to think about thinking more seriously. Take health for example. What is the number one risk factor for sickness and death? Stress. And where does stress start? The buzzword for all this is integrative medicine. The philosophy behind it is that when spirit, mind...

The Soul of Science. Monday, January 22, 2007. Last week’s sextuplets got me thinking. If you recall our previous issue, sextuplets in the weekly Torah portion corresponded to the live birth of sextuplets in Vancouver, a Canadian first. How could a modern thinking person believe something like that? Okay, faith is faith. But 900 years? 302:611, October 24, 2003), to the effect that researchers had achieved a six-fold life extension in worms with just a single gene manipulation and some hormonal tweaking&...

The Soul of Science. Thursday, February 01, 2007. 32 Who, Me? We live in a miraculous world. Life is a miracle. Water is a miracle. Healing is a miracle. Paying the mortgage is a miracle. The fact that my wife still loves me is a miracle. We can all handle the little miracles that happen every day. In a good mood, we might even count our blessings and thank the One Above for them.

The Soul of Science. Thursday, October 19, 2006. 15 The Soul of the Matter. The father and son in the following narrative are Rebbes, or Hasidic masters, of a previous generation. One day in the summer of 5656 (1896) I was strolling with my father in a field in the country resort of Bolivke, near Lubavitch. The crops were almost ripe, and the grain and the grass were nodding in a gentle breeze. Behold G-dliness! In order to become spiritually restored. . . Just now we discussed the subject of...True, the...

The Soul of Science: December 2006
http://soulofscience.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
The Soul of Science. Sunday, December 10, 2006. Torah is the spiritual DNA of the world. How does DNA work? It is a chemical code containing all the information the body needs to grow, develop and function. The same information is in every one of the body’s 100 trillion cells, and yet every organ, every tissue and even every cell functions differently. A singular code- a nearly infinite variety of outcomes. So it is with Torah, the blueprint of the universe. What self-respecting academic would dabble in ...
