I believe in the Exodus while science currently does not.

What if something came to light that said that in fact that the Exodus is true? Wouldn’t you feel terrible for having missed out on the Hashem’s truth? Perhaps, science is making a mistake with the dating methods, as we know them. Reason mandates that we can’t really know from dating things for a few years, that things have held stable over millions of years. Sure that is what scientists think now, but the final chapter in science is yet to be written. We have only been using carbon dating for about 60 years! To base our entire cosmogony of millions and billions of years of formation on 60yrs worth of data, as many scientists tell us to do is too audacious. Who knows? maybe given another hundred years of carbon dating on earth, we may have to come up with some sort of correctional constant, and what is to say that 200yrs from now we won’t come up with yet another correction, and so on.  Perhaps, we should give this radioactive dating thing a million years or more of testing before we bet that the Torah is a lie.

Explaining God To Child And A Scientist

When we are about to say that there is a G-d to our children, perhaps, it would be wise to show up with a pair of dice.  Ask the child to roll the dice.  Then, ask them if they think this could create the entire universe in all its complexity as we know it.  That there is a Gd is something any child should be able realize.  It amazes me that so many scientists are atheists.  However, I realize the reasons why scientists usually don't believe, and it isn't the issue with the dice; it is the idea that the world is not humane and could not have been created by a loving G-d, yet scientists usually stop there.  We religionists need to prod scientists further into reading about the blessings and curses in Torah.  G-d has clearly told us that though he wants us to behave, we get to choose, and we can incur the curse of G&d for multiple generations, just as we may incur the blessing for many generations.

Joining The Minority Among Science Researchers: Thinking Outside The Box

It is too early for science to be so bold in its claims with respect to carbon and radioactive dating, which the Rebbe explains in his letter, “The Age of The Universe.” As I once wrote, we don’t have a working Theory of Everything in science. We don’t know how oxidative stresses such as corrosion may interact with many of the current various means for dating the universe. When I read the about the Exodus, I think that it is a sign of maturity to not just discard the story in favor of science. Remember Proverbs, “Fools rush in.” It is better to try to be creative, and to ponder ways science and the Bible might both be true. Perhaps, due to corrosion the Exodus was recorded in the fossil record, in a way that has baffled scientists. Outside of radioactive and carbon dating, the fossil record show two mass exoduses from Africa, but as you know the dates don’t match given our present understanding of science. Yet, it is too far of a leap to say that the dates do not match at all.
