- Title
God in Nature or the Lord of the Universe?: The Encounter of Judaism and Science from Hellenistic Times to the Present.
- Authors
Singer, David G.
- Abstract
The most serious contemporary philosophical challenge to Judaism does not stem from other religions, including Christianity, but from modern science, which excludes all but natural material explanations for all phenomena in the universe. Indeed, the philosophy of science presents a most serious challenge to all non-Jewish religious systems as well as to Judaism. This remains true even though a movement has recently developed to integrate religious faith and the philosophy of science. Even when a particular phenomenon appears to have a non-material cause, most scientists insist that eventually a natural rational cause for it will be found.
