visiting the Chabad

I went to hear Dr. Gerald Schroeder speak last night at the Conejo Jewish Academy, in Agoura Hills. There is something about being asked to wear a yarmulke that just means something special is occurring in this place. Something special did happen. Dr. Schroeder was fascinating.

Gerald Schroeder is one of the key influencers of Antony Flew becoming a former atheist. Flew was the world’s leading spokesperson for atheism and then a year ago (December 9,2004), Flew announced he believed in a God. Not a particular one, but, in Flew’s words, “I'm quite happy to believe in an inoffensive inactive god.” Well, that’s a start!

Schroeder’s book, The Hidden Face of God: Science Reveals the Ultimate Truth, was the book that finally persuaded Flew to rethink of his former worldview. For a brief excerpt of this historic announcement, look here.

I will highlight a few of Schroeder’s teachings this week.
