The lecture explores the question if science has really made G-d irrelevant, or is it the other way around. The lecture goes on to explain &ldquo;Jewish cosmology,&rdquo; known as &ldquo;something from nothing,&rdquo; and its profound ramifications on our understanding of the Divine and its relationship with the universe.

Basics of Emunah #5: Can an Intelligent Person Believe in G-d?

Is there a rational basis to accept that some 3300 years ago G-d revealed Himself to our ancestors at Sinai? Why was Maimonides, a rationalist par excellence, so convinced of the historicity of this event? And in what way is the Jewish claim of divine revelation any different from the many thousands of claims made by various other religious groups.
