So welcome. Thank you for coming. Shave
off to everybody. My name is Daniel Nim.
I'm a professor at Bar University and I
want to share with you some insights on
how from a scientific perspective we can
see
and we can get close to him. The the
goal of this presentation I want to make
clear a few things. One, the goal is not
to incite anybody to be a scientist.
The purpose in here is to incite you to
get closer to Baru to seek in everything
that we do and to go to the bet midash
is a good place and learn. That's number
one. Number two, I'll try to speak in a
way that everybody can understand a
laneman language. Once in a while for
the ones who are more pushy on the
science side, I will say maybe a few
words like this and this that you may
not understand. If you don't understand,
no worry. We continue. We move to the
next topic. Okay, with this premise,
let's get started. So, first of all,
anybody knows what this?
>> Yes.
>> How long is it?
>> Uh, an hour and a half, but you can
leave anytime you want. Okay, any
anybody knows what this
Okay, we we'll figure it out at the end.
We figured out this and many other
things. We're trying to see things about
creatures that convert air in water and
creatures that convert blood into milk
and animal that has a light with a 100%
efficiency conversion. How many
processes are in the body? Are there
more processes in the bodies or grains
of s in earth or earth resurrection from
animal world and also resurrection from
human beings? We're going to see a few
things like this and in the sense is
there a life after this life for us. So
this and more ready. So first of all,
what's the goal of life? We have a
source called the mess sharim beautiful
amazing muspher written by an Italian
cabalist. Yes, I specify Italian
and he said the goal of life we don't
have to look so far. People are so
confused today. There's no one looking
far.
Man was created only to delight in
Hashem and to enjoy the splendor of his
presence. For that is the true pleasure.
And he says basically all the other
pleasures that people think about like
for example for me would be a pizza.
Well, it's a nice temporary kind of
pleasure. It's not the true pleasure.
The true pleasure is to be close.
And let's see what it means. We'll see
some examples hopefully more concrete.
But the problem is he says there are
some obstacles and uh he says who put
some some obstacles around there
especially material desires and in fact
today you know this is
but next week
we'll talk about the and I think we're
invaded this term a friend of mine gave
it to me we are invited by aut
that surrounds us here we are kind of
shielded but just to give examples was
atheism there's no god we just came from
nothing uh no creator so no reward no
punishment we can do what we want
evolution I have we've learned a lot
about abioenesis evolution and so on a
bunch of nonsense from beginning to end
but covered in a leouch that makes it
that it has an appearance of truth and
unfortunately if you speak to most
scientists they will tell you that this
is
and in fact it's not true Because when
you look in carefully in detail from a
scientific perspective, you see there
are two too many flaws. The problem is
you need to have a very scientific eye
to see this because it's it's very
difficult to go into those details.
And if this is if we believe in
evolution, we came from the monkey. Uh
who do you think you are? You evolved
from the monkey. You know, remember if
for those who were here last uh last
time I made a a kind of a joke, there is
a little Johnny that goes goes to uh to
daddy. He said, "Daddy, daddy, where do
we come from? How we came from here?" He
said, "But uh Johnny, everybody knows
evolution. There was a fish. He flapped
his flaps for thousands of hundreds of
thousands of year. He became a lizard.
The lizard became a donkey. The donkey
became a monkey. And here we are." Thank
you, daddy. But he's not convinced. So,
he goes to money. Money. Mommy. Uh,
where do we come from? Where do you come
from? He says, "But Johnny, everybody
knows God created Adam and Eve and they
had children. They had children had
children and here we are." He said,
"Mommy, daddy told me that we come from
the monkey." He said, "But Johnny, daddy
talked about his family. I'm talking
about mine."
>> So, you decide which family you want to
belong. And then, of course, the time
wasters of the generation, the
smartphone, the internet, they become
zombies. Uh, transform. M you just walk
around you see people are are addicted
that's more than a drug and of course
fake news one for example free porcupine
you know about free porcup from the
river to the sea porcupine will be free
you know that right right so they that's
that's one all over the place there's
this by the way we want to export
porcupine porcup porcupines to England
France Canada Australia and other
countries that like them very much so we
should do an export of porcupines there
or other things. You know, you have a
5-year-old girl, Khalila, playing with a
truck or with a Kalila Khalila, a
soldier, a toy soldier, and immediately
the mother brings her to the doctor to
do an operation to become a monster
after that. This is we live in insane
times. And then so at the end of the
day, eat, drink, and be merry because
anyway, tomorrow you'll die. So have
world. But the Torah gives us an answer.
And as always there is a suret
the sur is put a filter put a block put
something a stop to stop this mabul
coming into your mind millers atal said
what is better to have an encounter with
a mama bear who lost her cub or watch TV
for an hour a mama bear who lost her cub
is a very dangerous animals and there
are very serious consequences he said
it's much better to the encounter with
mama bear because the garbage get gets
into the mind will never come out but
the the physical injuries eventually
will be healed. That's what he says. I
don't know if I would like to make the
mama bear but just to to make the sense.
But this is not the purpose of today.
We're going to focus on the asettov.
That's what I want that we focus today.
And there are I I I kind of I think
there are two ways the acettov to
overcome this this mabul invasion. One
of them obvious study Torah. come to the
bed midrash and learn. I call this the
scenic route. You know, sometimes when
you want to go to a certain place for
vacation, you can take the scenic route.
It takes longer. It's kind of longer
usually, but you have amazing
sightseeing and you see behind
the sightseeing. Even though uh Rafa I I
heard the story that he was on the
helicopter and below there was kind of a
canyon or something something amazing.
Ra look please amazing amazing it's
amazing he was there with his gamarra
didn't didn't take the eyes off the gar
but it's once in a lifetime we see
something like this says says once in
lifetime I have something like this in
whatever he was learning at the time. So
this is the the the synic learn Torah
and uh and basically when we learn Torah
we're holding the world. Let's see some
examples of where we can see amazing
things on the Torah. And of course I'm
as a scientist I will show you some
scientific examples but you can find
things on psychology and things on any
other topic. An example how many stars
are there in the sky? That's one one
question that is very interesting
question. And let's look up at science.
By the way, when you when you look with
a naked eye, assuming you don't have
light streets and assuming there's no
pollution, assuming you're in a
mountain, etc. Maximum you can see
something like 2,000 stars. So you think
about who gave au
numerous stars. If I were
what kind of is this? This is less
people than on here, right? So this is
uh what kind of is this? And well let's
say how many stars there are but he
didn't say that I think right so the in
the telescope was invented only in6008
so before6008 we can only see some
maximum 2,000 stars zon and then of
course the Italian take advantage in6009
Galo Galile starts Galo Gal starts
looking at the stars inventing better
telescopes in 1800 which is only 200
years ago for change we counted only
something like less 50,000 stars. This
was French work. Then in the mid 1800s
we went to 320,000 stars and to up to 19
9 um 1,950 we had something like 5
million stars. So remember 50 years ago
we thought there were only maximum 5
million stars. And then came the game
changer the satellites. I remember I was
at university in France and they talked
about the Hubble satellite. I didn't
understand what was a big fuss about it.
But bottom line, the satellites changed
everything. Satellite the Hubble
discovered we can see 10,000 galaxies.
Then we sent the Gaia satellites 1.7
billion stars. And then today there's a
Jame Webb satellite. And if you look at
the different sources, we cannot count
the stars, but we can estimate their
number. And their number is between 10
to the 18 to 10 to the 24. 10 to the 18
means it's a one followed by 18 zeros
which means it's a billion billions
right and 10 to the 24 is a million
billion billions okay so humongous
humongous numbers now scientific caveat
first of all there are scientists you
need to be very careful when they do
extrapolations and assumptions those are
the key things and evolution that's
exactly where you have to look at it's
like you know the lawyers they do you a
a contract and then there's the fine
print font four that you cannot look
with the telescope, right? And and then
with the microscope and then and then
that's where the where that's where the
the dangerous stuff is, right? So let's
look at the at the fine print. First of
all, we only can estimate the number of
stars in our galaxy, the Milky Way, to
be 10 to the 11. Okay, that's number
one. It's an estimate. Second, we can
only estimate the number of galaxies 2
to the power of 10 to 2 * 2 10 the^ of
12 and it's a second estimate. And when
they do a calculation, they basically
multiply and they multiply the number of
stars of a galaxy by the number of
galaxies. And both are estimates because
we estimate that all galaxies are the
same number of stars as our galaxy,
which is a very gross gross gross gross
gross estimation. So
>> stars,
>> sorry,
>> can we see individual stars?
>> Yeah, but you cannot see the whole
thing. How they do? They take for
example a little solid angle corner and
they count there are 70 million stars in
this millimeter square and they multiply
by the solid thing to get an
extraolation but
>> for example yes of galaxies. So bottom
line you have three levels of of
assumptions here that you need to be
careful. That's why I'm put there is a
caveat of which number is this. Um and
then uh let's look at Talmud the Talmud
the Gamara it was done something like in
the year completed in the year 500 which
is something like over a thousand years
before the first telescope. So what do
you want the gamarra to know about that
right? So if you look at 32b it says
so the complained to you abandoned us
you don't care about us and said look
for you are created this amount of
galaxies and this amount of stars for
each galaxies and legions and cartoon
and things that and you if you if you
take this sugia and you make the
calculation in there you find the number
which is 1.0643
10 ^ of 18. So first of all is in the
range of what the scientists estimate
today. But second when you think about
this is amazing because legal was
written before the first telescope.
Right? So someone writes that there are
some 10 to the 18 uh stars in the sky is
a mishuga. Can you imagine being in the
year 500 and going in the streets I have
news for you. Science says that there
are 10 to the 18 stars. And they say the
guy let's call immediately the ambulance
put him in you know with a with a white
uh shirt like this because it's it's
ridiculous you can see maximum 2000 guy
says 10 to the 18 the camera knew it
before in fact interesting story that I
heard uh presby was a scientist at the
bell lab he's maybe retired at the bell
labs bell labs is also we have Robert
Wilson and Arnold Pensas who were the
discoverers and Nobel prize winners for
the big bang Right. They discovered the
big bang. So, Robert Wilson is a
Princess is a is a Jew. Uh H Presby
first when they won the Nobel Prize, he
used to be go in the car with Wilson
before and Wilson after that. You know,
I'm so important. I'm not taking you in
the car anymore. But the second thing
was uh once Presby asked Wilson, tell me
how many stars are there in the sky? And
he says, everybody knows it's 10 to the
18. And uh Presby answered, it's exactly
1.0643 06 43 10 the 18 and of course
Wilson said what what's okay didn't
understand so anyway it's amazing
example but you may say maybe you know
maybe the gamar is good for big numbers
but when we come to precision it's not
very good so let's do something else
let's look at the dur the duration of
the lunar cycle the lunar cycle science
only in the ' 70s you know after the uh
went allegedly went to the moon in 1969
we put in there some retrorelectors some
uh some mirrors basically that reflect
light and with a powerful telescope with
a laser retroreflector on the moon an
atomic clock you send the laser and you
measure and then you wait for the cycle
and you send the laser again and you
stop the clock so you have a precise
measure which is in days oh here is one
translation I forgot okay uh 29.530588
days okay fine this is uh but one thing
to Be careful of course in science you
always have uh tolerances on any
instrument you know the clock the laser
etc etc so you need to take take into
account that no scientific measure is
precise exactly there are always
potential ranges of fluctuation please
take a seat there are seats in there u g
as before year 500 this time we're
something like 1,400 years before the
retro reflectors and the laser and the
atomic clock and You look at
25a and it says that says uh that he
received from his father a tradition
about how long is the lunar cycle and
when you make the calculation you find
29.53059414
which is a difference of 02%
which is half a second. Okay. So that's
quite it's not possible to do a
measurement like this without uh without
instruments or anything. You can do
averages of lunar cycles and get the
more maybe you can get two digits after
the comma. But to have all this and by
the way we defer only on the digit
number digit number five is is correct
because when you round this you you have
a nine here but the other three the Naza
doesn't have and Ravi Mansour insure on
this he said well give them some more
years they will figure out that this is
the number okay so we can we can move on
and this was basically this was the
scenic route okay this is go to Gimara
but you know some for some people it may
be difficult So there is a second option
which is the highway. You want to go
from A to B. You can take the scenic
route very enjoyable and so on but takes
time or you can take the highway. The
highway is much faster. And the highway
is basically look at nature and smell
the roses look and ask yourself
questions. And the another beautiful
of Msar said that basically the most
direct way to gain a clear understanding
of Hashem's presence is to examine the
wisdom that is evident in his creations.
So what I want to do with you today is
to see a few examples here and there and
see the wisdom of a kadosh baru in in
it. So let's say uh last time when we
met a year ago we talked about the 40
orders of orders of magnitude in the
universe. When you go to the subatomic
particles to the dimension of the
universe you have something like 40 zero
differences between the smallest and the
biggest and this is according to what we
know today. So it may be that in a few
years it will even increase. But this is
unfathomable. There's no other uh
measure or anything in the world that we
can can spend 40 or of magnitude. So
let's have a few examples and we saw
also last time this famous sentence of
Rafal was the chief rabbi of France.
This is the quote in French original and
this is the translation in English.
Nature is the modest veil of protection
that God extends over man so as not to
force him to believe in God. So Hashem
makes in a way Hashem doesn't want
miracles. You know there was creat and
he said there was a strong wind come.
Why do you need a strong wind? Also the
people at MIT can split a swimming pool
with the powerful fans. So you can think
that was that was something feasible but
it was a miracle right in fact on this
topic raik says well the fact that it
opened exactly when we needed it it's
this is already I mean uh he said in
French is a it's a good piece of luck
that it happened at this point right. So
anyway, and the example I want to show
you, we'll see this sentence again at
the end because now it can speak to you
if you were here last year. If you are
not, then it may not speak completely to
you. We'll see at the end. Let's see one
example. This is technical. So there are
materials the reaction of of surfaces
with water. Okay, different surfaces
interact with water in different ways.
There are surfaces that are called
superhydrophobic like the lotus leaf.
You need you try to wet it and it
doesn't wet. The water basically rolls
down and the leaf remains dry. And this
happens because the surface has a lot of
tiny sticks as for the technical people
Cassie Baxter if you want. And basically
uh the water remains as a sphere and it
just rolls out. We say the contact angle
is close to 180°. And on the opposite
side you have superhydrophilic surfaces.
So super hydrophilic first surfaces are
surfaces where basically the water will
cover the surface completely. Most
surfaces we have are in between. So it
rains and you have drops on your wheelch
contact angle or whatever it is. But
this is a very interesting topic. Super
hydrophilic superhydrophobic. So
hydrophobic hates water. Water remains a
sphere. Hydrophilic loves water attracts
water. Clear? So with this let's look
let's look at an interesting creation of
a boru the Namibian desert beetle a
little beetle and he lives in the
Namibian desert. Namibian desert is a
very very dry desert as all deserts. But
once in a while you have a tiny wind
with a tiny tiny amount of humidity. And
what he does he puts himself like this
with the with the his wings and his
wings have areas that are super
hydrophilic meaning that they attract
water and the rest of the of the surface
is super hydrophobic. So what happens is
that oop
okay so what so what happens is that
basically on those dots that are super
hydrophilic the water is accumulating
accumulating accumulating until it
becomes a big drop and when it becomes
big enough that gravity will make it
fall what happens it will fall in the
mouth of the beetle and the beetle will
drink. Okay, that's that's what happens
with this with this guy. And in fact, we
use that technology to do some screens
in areas that are very humid to collect
some water. And you'll see in here that
you we can collect water from the air.
So you we take the humidity of the air,
we put in there. But it's really amazing
who made this beetle in a place that is
so inhospitable. There's no way you can
find any water and he can transform the
air into water.
>> Collect the water.
>> Sorry. What does he have to collect the
water?
>> He has those dots super hydrophilic
where the water is attracted and builds
builds builds until it becomes a heavy
drop and the heavy drop will fall by
gravity because he has the wings on
vertical position and it will they will
fall in his mouth.
>> What part is
>> the hydro hydrophobic the rest of the
wing? It's a bunch of tiny dots
superhydrophilic on a superhydrophobic
complete surface of the wing. Okay. Of
course, the animal that can convert
blood into milk, you know, it it's the
cow. And it's a very complicated system
where there are some nervous reaction to
activate this thing. And the milk, for
example, from a cow is 4 to 6% fat
content in the milk. But not all animals
have the the same thing. By the way, I'm
not here unfortunately to tell you the
how it works because really I couldn't
understand. But if you're interested,
it's a process like this. You have
basically the blood comes in and gets
transformed into milk and milk comes
out. Voila. Okay. And to my knowledge,
there's no scientist that can do
anything to transform blood into milk.
But what is fascinating here is not only
that, by the way, a a cow produces 145 L
of milk per day. So, I have an idea for
you. Instead of buying the milk from the
supermarket, if you had a cow in here,
then every day you'd have milk for the
whole coland. Now the issue is that it
consumes something like 140 L of water
and 60 kilos of grass. So we need to
find these. Okay. But anyway, the funny
thing is that a different animals have
different content in their milk and the
milk is tuned exactly for their
children. For example, the here has a
60% uh fat in the in the milk. Why?
Because they live in very cold
environment. And in very cold
environment, you need fat to resist from
the cold. So it's completely different
thing. I'll show you something that is
this is the one for me is mindboggling
is the Tamar walabi. You know every
mother has two breasts. This one is not
exception. But the funny thing is they
had the two breasts give two different
types of milk. On one breast it gives a
milk rich in sugar for the newborns and
the other one rich in protein and fat
for the older children. So the new baby
comes here and the older baby comes
there and they and those two chemical
factories are different and separate and
one is the milk rich and sugar and the
other one is rich in fat. Amazing.
Okay
says when you meditate and you look
there's no limit when you look at the
creations of you see that it's it's it's
unbelievable. So can you Tamar Walby? I
don't know if anybody heard that but
when I saw this I thought wow
unbelievable. Okay light source with
100% efficiency. I don't know if you
realize how problematic the light is. I
mean we had incandescent light that was
consuming a lot when he was in France. I
remember we had the um uh what do you
call those lights that that shoot on the
screen on the on the ceiling. They're
very powerful halogen lamps. Hogen
lamps. Beautiful. But they were 500 W.
So those things mash consume a bunch of
electricity and today we have the LEDs.
Why is this important? Uh because uh
look when you take your plane in in the
evening you look at the at the lights in
there you see how many lights are there
it's an amazing if you could invent a
light bulb that has a 10% better
efficiency you would become a
billionaire right so in fact look
incandescent light converted only 5% of
the energy in in light and today when we
get to the LEDs you are close to 50%
passing from the fluorescent to a
something like 30%. But there's an
animal that Takad Baroo created the
firefly that converts 100% chemical
energy into light. And if you are
interested, this is the chemical
reaction. Very simple. It's a
biochemical reaction without generation
of heat that converts luciferin and
oxygen and catalyzed by lucce. So if you
are interested, this is the formula.
Okay, you want to make a fortune, try to
make this. You'll have a light with 100%
conversion efficiency.
Unbelievable. So let's get to this. What
is this? What is this thing? It looks
complicated, right? Anybody has a guess?
>> What?
>> The
you see there's many many things inside.
So my guess eventually would have been
maybe, you know, sometimes you have the
the map of the metro, the underground,
right? And it's kind of complicated. And
I looked at the longest one is the one
in Beijing, but the one in Beijing looks
like this, which looks much simpler than
this thing, right? And by the way, the
um okay, I'll tell you later. So I'll
tell you what it is. This is metabolic
pathways. This is metabolic pathways
that happen in our human body. A
different kind of reactions that happen
in there. So I understand it's not
readable. That's why you had the
problem. So I'm going to make a a
magnification of this for you. Now you
can understand, right? Okay. Is it clear
now? Right. So this is only one possible
pathway. There are something like 3,000
to 5,000 known known meaning many we
don't know metabolic reactions in the
human metabolism. By the way, this chart
I had a hard time to find it and I
couldn't find a better resolution
because it's the old one. ROS is working
on the new one. I don't know for how
long they have been working, but the new
one is not out there. So, this is the
old one. I don't want to tell you what
the new one is. Maybe next year we'll
we'll we'll see the new one together.
Okay. And these reactions are grouped
into hundreds of metabolic pathways like
glycolysis, crab cycle, bet oxidation
and so on. So sometimes you have one
thing that doesn't work. Um I had a few
months ago loeno I had a a kidney stone.
I didn't know about kidney stones at all
before but the pain was basically I was
bent into two. And of course I go to the
term the urgency and here in Israel
they're so kind always
so without they don't look at you you
can die on the spot. So once I got they
looked at me and bottom line what is it
is one of those 5,000 cycles then they
don't work properly right so we have all
this thing going on all the time and one
of them didn't work.
Uh by the way what is this one? This is
another complicated thing. This is a
secular cellular and molecular
processes. So we have we have in the
body something like 30,000 billion
cells. Okay. That by the way cells uh uh
there are new cells and cells die. And
in fact if funny a very interesting
thing you know companies are spending
billions on anti-aging stuff right? Uh
what is a aging is fabulous when you
think about this. We are programmed for
cells to grow at a certain rate, then
stop to grow and then degrade over
certain time.
When you think about this, programmed
exactly to have a whole cycle. So we we
take it as a horrible thing, the aging
thing. But when you think about this is
wow did it's everything is programmed
calculated exactly right. And uh by the
way uh we have uh something like a
little more of bacteria. We didn't know
and in fact those bacteria most of them
are nice because they're in the gut and
they help for the digestion without
without the bacteria it would be very
difficult to digest and we have by the
way different types of cells right the
red blood cells the neurons muscle cells
and they're all different so think one
thing I saw in a in in a book amazing
when you think about this a baby is born
inside from one cell the cell divides
and then has to create cells that go for
muscles cells that go for the eye cells
that go for the bone cells going to go
for the stomach cells. It's and and
there's a whole process orchestrated
exactly project management. Okay. 2
million cells go in the stomach there
and then others go for the feet and that
one for the nails and this is for the
teeth and this is wow. Okay. Anyway, and
it's impossible to count all the
processes, but they they say the number
of molecular reactions and cellular
processes almost infinite. But and there
are so many processes that happen at the
same time in the cell. Thousands to tens
of thousands of biochemical reactions
take place every second in each cell. We
have 30,000 billion cells times
thousands to tens of thousands. Bottom
line multiply that we have something
like more than 10 to the power of 20
one followed by 20 zeros
which is 100 billion billions right more
than the number of stars in the sky that
goes on at any time in the human body.
Are there more grains of sands on earth
or processes that go on on the body any
second?
Well, I found as a source that the
estimated number of grains, this is type
of in the sand is something like 7.5.
So, we have more processes going on in
the body than grains of sand. This I
have to thank Raf Cornfield who gave me
the tip on on this one and I checked it
and he was absolutely right.
Let's talk about this guy. Well, it's
not me. I I don't want to be insulting
to anybody. This is Wiki Wikipedia. I
copied it and and and you know this is
the classic picture but I think the real
picture should be this one and this is
what we unfortunately we observe today.
Uh right so the evolution of dump I'm
not going to redo what I did last year
on evolution but I want just to make a a
small recap and show you two new
examples. So we had one thing we had we
have to distinguish uh evolution there
are three things in fact there are two
things and one that has nothing to do
with evolution but people could put it
in the same chand of evolution. So
evolution is divided in micro evolution
macro evolution. Micro evolution is
exactly what Darwin observed when he
made his trip to the Galapagos and he
saw that the finches in the different
islands had different beaks adapted to
the environment that they had. And this
is called micro evvolution. And micro
evolution, for example, is for example,
you see this guy, he looks like a good
guy, but I think he's a little
overweight and needs some muscles. So we
send him to the gym and he becomes like
this. Right? So if this happens, that's
called micro evolution. A guy who plays
piano for 2 years and then runs a
concert is micro evolution. A guy who
goes to the sun and becomes 10, it's
called micro evolution. And in fact,
today with epigenetics, we learned even
more. The gam supports micro evolution.
the famous story we saw last time about
the guy who knocks on the door of where
is he? Where's Hil? Where's Hil? Right.
And and he tells him that for example
the term that a certain type of people
have the eyes that are very slit like
this because there are sands and so when
you're there they have sands you don't
want to have the sand in the eye and so
you squint. Okay? Or you have two and
big dog and a small dog go together they
have a baby and it's another type of
hybrid. But a dog is a dog is a dog.
That's called micro evolution. And
nobody argues with this. The problem is
that Mr. Darwin made an extrapolation.
And this is the danger in science. In
fact, Rav got spoke about the three
different mistakes in extrapolation is
one of them. Extrapolation is a very big
mistake can be done. So he what he did
he said well we extrapolate and then we
he with his cohorts he came up with this
uh hypothesis of evolution. There spaces
there. Okay. And and so he um
so he so the story the narrative the the
fable is that you had a fish on a pond.
The pond started drying out and the fish
started flapping his uh his uh thing for
hundreds of thousands of years and
because of flapping they became leg and
they became leg and he became a lizard
and the lizard became a whatever and
then the whatever became a donkey and
then a monkey and then here we are.
Right? This is the standard evolution
narrative which when you think mimman
doesn't make any sense either from if
it's the transformation is slow like
Darwin said or if you go with punctuated
evolution like um Steven J gold said uh
mimi doesn't doesn't make sense and when
you look at we saw last time something
like 15 reasons for things for
contradictions to the hypothesis of
evolution I'm not going to do into this
until this one there's too much evidence
against cannot be considered a
scientific hypothesis but unfortunately
it takes places in the scientific
journals and uh irrespective of any
criteria that is applied on any other
discipline. For example, in medicine,
when you want to prove that the vaccine
or a medicine is effective, you need
specific statistics. Here you just come
with a statistics of one chance out of
10 to the power of five of 200, which is
much much more than the number of atoms
known in the universe and and the paper
is accepted, which is absolutely
ridiculous. And the third thing is
something that doesn't have any any
connection with evolution, but they use
it in the same context is abiogenesis,
origin of life. There was a famous
experiment of Miller and Yuri where
basically they exploded some gases and
they found out an amino acid and because
of that you see life is possible. Okay.
The story is like saying I explode a
whole country and I found one nail. So I
say yeah by explosion I can build a car.
So this was this is the equivalent of
the thing. It's first of all it's off
topic and second we see if someone is
interested we saw very in much detail
there's a a professor called Jim Tour
James Tour go in there he gives you the
science very complicated the chemistry
is extremely complicated he proves to
you this is there's no chance but
unfortunately they there and okay I
don't want to say anything let's
continue but let's now see a couple of
examples and um this is the homework
okay last time we did the the theory now
we do the practice there is uh first of
all one guy in Mashimo I don't I just
put his initials I don't want to
encourage anybody to go and buy his
books uh and this guy says like many
others biology is the study of
complicated things that give the
appearance of having been designed for a
purpose appearance don't get wrong yeah
the beauty of biology is really the
illusion of design is an illusion
natural selection other scientific
theories are superiors to the god
hypothesis the illusion of intelligent
design in explaining the living world
and the cosmos. So it's all an illusion.
Don't be don't get fooled guys. Don't
get fooled. It's all an illusion. That's
right. And one of his friends, Professor
Tim Bara made this. And you see this is
so funny. So he said let's take a
Corvette Chevrolet Corvette is a sports
car American sports car model 1953 and
let's compare it with the model of 1963
and then let's compare it to the model
of 1968 and the model of 1978 and so on
and he says and I'll do the professor's
voice now I can do I'll do professor
voice
the descent with modification is
overwhelmingly obvious this is what
paleontologists do with fossils and the
evidence is so solid and comprehensive
that it cannot be denied by reasonable
people.
When he said that, his colleagues
exploded laughing. Exploded laughing. He
says, "What kind of an idiot is this?"
This is called the Baras Blender. Why is
it called the Baras Blender? Because
everybody knows that the Chevrolet
Corvette had thousands and thousands of
engineers working on every single part.
This is the most
intelligent design design that you can
imagine building a car right and use it
for this. But I think there's a second
mistake he made. I found out I thought
later and I found anybody sees a second
mistake in this most you cannot say
because you know what I tell
the second mistake is that even if this
was correct this is micro evolution. A
car is a car is a car. He didn't say
that the car becames a became a
helicopter or a house. It's a car.
Nobody complained. Nobody contradicts
micro evolution. So the guy in my
opinion made two blunders. The blunder
everybody knows is because he took an
intelligent design example to kind of
parallel to what he wanted to be not
intelligent design evolution. But the
second is he took the wrong example. If
you had an example of a card becoming a
a house then uh yeah one we can make
right maybe
and so basically the what I would say he
he helped us out because basically
intelligent design it's an intelligent
design life is an intelligent design
that gives the illusion of an evolution
it's an illusion and in fact why Hashem
made it like this I don't know because
you can find fossils you can make
stories out of it and so on and had some
sense of humor that we we find things
and We can make stories out of it. I
mean we have Be right. So in fact
Ravikor Miller says something amazing.
He said why Darwin came exactly when
there was the industrial revolution time
which means that the science was getting
better and better and better with micro
microscopes and etc etc because
otherwise we would not have any. If
Darun did not come up with his thing
today, everybody would be a Min.
Everybody would be M
you would not have you would have to
build six M for this if if Darwin was
not if Darwin was not there. But Hashem
wants to give us reward. So we need to
have something else to to have the back
balanced at 50%.
Another example, let's do the eye. Last
time we talked about the year. Let's
have a little example of the eye. The
eye is an opto mechanical
electrochemical sensor. Okay? Because
you see the light enters inside projects
into the retina is transformed the light
signal is transformed into an
electromechanical signal goes through
the optic nerve goes to the brain and we
see images. Uh it's lubricated 12 times
per minute. The lens has a variable
geometry controlled by the celiary
muscles. It's very fascinating because
you know if you have cameras you know
that when you have grand angle or a a
zoom it's just that the l you have a
different lens and the or you change the
distance of the lens from the the film
but here you don't change the distance
since this is fixed it's the geometry of
the lens that changes it's fascinating
it's the the lens itself and can you
imagine how many gazillion times the
lens has changed now I'm looking at you
and then I'm looking at him and already
it changes the the lens Right? Uh and
all this and then on the retina you have
four five million 4.5 million cones for
10 million colors who can distinguish 10
million colors and 91 million rods for
black and white. So a a a lot a lot of
cells in there and they convert the
optical signal into electrochemical
signal that goes to the brain. The
estimated resolution is 576 megapixels.
Just for those who have iPhones, I think
I don't know what the lightest iPhone
is, but I heard it's something like 45
or something like this. So, there's
still work to do to reach the resolution
of of the of the eye. It uh it sees up
to 550 frames per second. And you have
six synchronized muscles that control
the the the the eyes. And why we have
two eyes? Because we want to see
distance. You know, with only one one
eye would be difficult to drive, for
example. We see in 3D. And in fact we
see with the brain. So that's one point
I want to show you that the eye is an
amazing sensor but really we see with
the brain. I want to show you an
example. So before the example I want to
show you a technology that uh to two
examples of this one. They did an
experiment with people. They put them
glasses that inverted the images. So I
would have seen you with the head down
and the feet up. And they put the
glasses and those people were very
disconcerning that they they couldn't
they were very but they got used to it.
They got used to it and after that they
got used to this and they could live
normally with those glasses. The day
they took the glasses off, they were
again they couldn't understand what's
going on here and they need to rejust
themselves because now the brain now was
used to see things upside down and now
that you put them back normal side that
they a technology is amazing for blind
people is uh there is a device like a
lollipop that you put in the tongue and
that lollipop is connected to a camera.
The camera converts the signal into a
bunch of electric uh signals that are on
this lollipop and the tongue will sense
the electrical signals and by sensing
the electrical signal it can re of
course it needs some training. The the
blind person can rebuild some um images
there. I saw videos of blind people that
were playing ball with with their son
launching and and catching the ball or
driving a bicycle with with this device.
Pretty amazing. Okay. But let's do an
experiment ourselves. What do you see
here? And who knows doesn't say. What do
you see?
>> Yeah. You see a couple of people here.
You see water. You see a tree, right?
Anybody see something else?
>> Yes.
>> Huh?
>> Yes.
>> Oh, you see it now? Everybody now see
the fetus?
>> What?
>> Look at the blue. you. I'm helping you
out. Do you see the baby? Now you see
the baby.
>> Now that you see the baby, you see the
baby. Right now I trained your mind to
see the baby. You see with your brain.
You don't see the So all the optical
illusion tricks are all because we see
with our brain and the eyes are just the
tool to get the signal to our brain.
Pretty amazing, huh? So we would say
that the eye is a pretty amazing thing,
right? Unbelievable thing. And in fact,
Darwin Darwin himself wrote that it
would be absurd
to the highest level to think that the
eye such a complex device could be the
result of evolution. He himself said
>> when did he say
>> in his book but but he added he added
but if we found a series of fossils that
went from a simple eye to a complex eye
like the human eye and the human eye is
what we call a camera eye. you know what
I described to you but there are simple
eyes like insects have you know light on
off so no camera no retina no things
like this so there are simple eyes so if
you find fossils basically you find at
the bottom the fossils with the simple
eyes and at the top the complex eyes
then you could make hypothesis of
evolution and in fact in nature there
are plenty of eyes there are simple eyes
and complex eyes but the problem is that
when you show the f through the fossils
you see them all over the place you have
the some some complex at the bottom,
some simple eyes at the top, etc., etc.
So there's no sequence in there that
makes any sense. So that was the first
tactic from an evolutionary P point to
say that. So now what can they what can
evolutionists do? Tactic number two,
let's let's start number two. The eye,
if you take the the the retina, you see
that there are a bunch of different
types of cells, but the light comes from
here. And the cells that sense the the
light are at the back. And there's a
bunch of stuff before. So they say, you
know, this is amazing. Evolutionist says
that the eye is the result of evolution
because it's imperfect. It's imperfect.
What we saw before it's an imperfect
design. Why? Because the light sensitive
cells, the cones and the rods are
pointing in the opposite direction than
in the eye.
And in fact, the scientists have studied
the eye in great detail. And since it
says since the light sensitive cells
have a high metabolism, they need a lot
of blood. If they were at the front, we
would be almost blind because the blood
would cover the image. So it is on the
back to allow all the flow of the blood
that need to nourish those cells to be
sick. So bad luck. So they the third
tactic of an evolutionist in in 1851
um there's a German Henriish Müller that
found that there are some cells that are
at the B at the beginning that they are
now called mirror cells and those cells
they have help a lot to see so well. So
the vision is so good because the mirror
cells make some wave guide uh thing that
helps to see well. So the revolutionist
came up and they wrote that u they
claimed that this confirms the eye was
imperfect and evolution added the Miller
cells making the eye perfect for vision.
So the problem is that there is no
evidence of any eye without the Miller
cell. So it's just another story. So
it's unbelievable how you can you see
you need to go into the details to try
to find out where the shaker lies. Okay,
let's switch gear. Let's go down to an
example interesting example. The
butterfly right now we are changing
topics and we are leading to the final
part of of this talking. Let's say so
the the butterfly deposits something
like hundreds or thousands of eggs on on
leaves of a certain tree that they like.
Those are the little tiny eggs but many
of them will not make it. A and what
happens is that uh at some point those
eggs hatch and there will be the kind of
a wormlike creature that comes out very
very very hungry. So hungry that starts
eating the egg and after it eats the egg
starts eating the leaf where it's the
egg was positioned and then starts uh
eating others but in the meantime it
keeps on growing and changing skin. It
changes skin and grows and grows and
grows and at some point it has finished
his life as a caterpillar and it uh
connects itself under a branch. It makes
kind of a connection and then he stays
upside down and it starts basically
disintegrating himself liquefying
himself. So the whole thing is called
the pupa or the chrysalis and it gets a
a last uh a last
skin change. But bottom line, what was
going on in there, it's basically
getting liquefied and you and in fact
finally it mimatizes with the branch
amazingly enough it can it take the
color of the branch and then after that
you wait a few weeks and then you have a
butterfly that comes out. So we'll see
now the butterfly coming out from this
pre and if you look at one of the pupa
and you open it up you see there is a
green soup in there. That's this is this
is what was before the uh butterfly. So
let's let's summarize.
Let's summarize. You have an animal that
is alive. Yet it's transformation number
one into a liquid which is apparently
dead. There's no sign of life on that
liquid. They studied it. In fact, I was
once at the Shabbat with a girl that was
doing a PhD on this. And I asked her,
"Is it true that the pupa is is dead?"
And she said, "Yes."
brain limpies too.
>> Everything.
>> No brain, no nothing.
>> Nothing. Nothing. Liquids.
Uh there are some there are some
structures in there but nothing. That's
uh no no life. No nothing. There's a
it's a soup.
>> Let's let's have a look. Let's have a
look. Okay. And then you have the live
animal that comes out. This is exactly
what you're saying. There was a study
that was amazing. They made a study.
They took some of those caterpillars,
right? When they were caterpillars and
they passed a certain order and when
they passed the order, they gave a
shock. Order, shock. This is a Pavlov
experiment, right? Order, shock, order,
shock. Now the the caterpillar was
conditioned with the order. So now they
passed the order and the caterpillar
started trembling because knew that the
shock was coming. Then it attached
itself, transformed, butterfly came,
they passed the order and the butterfly
shook.
Which means that the conscience of the
caterpillar went into the butterfly
passing from the liquid that state. So
two questions here. How the chrysalis
knows to to change the color to mimic
the branch that it is attached to. And
second question, how can we explain that
the butterfly remembers the experience
the experience it has as a caterpillar?
How can we do this? This is this is fact
documented. So now that we have seen on
the animal, let's go to the hard hard
subject that is on everybody's mind. And
this at least this will come to the
point that um
uh is relevant to us. No, we we are not
uh we're not so much interested in in in
butterflies but on ourselves. So this is
an example of resurrection of the dead.
Is there life after this life? This is a
big question, right? And bothers a lot
of people. So there are many things that
are interesting. For example, some
people come out with individual talents.
You know, there are some people I
remember a friend of mine in Boston. He
had a son and his son was average kid,
but he knew how to play piano like a pro
and he didn't take a single lesson. How
is it possible? Sometime you have
everybody knows you know sometimes is
born when he's born this guy is good in
math, this guy is good in languages,
this guy is good in literature, right?
So it's possible that everybody comes
with the certain things. So you may
wonder is or or there was the famous
story of the kid that you said a puk on
anything on the on
he was repeating the puk. So there's
something went wrong in the in the
hitting of the mouth before before he
came out. But this is not scientific. Uh
didio savo is the famous is the example
I gave before. Someone who basically is
a normal normal everything but you know
has an amazing talent for something
there. I remember I saw one of a guy who
could remember numbers. No, he knew what
he said. No, he knew all the phone book
or something like this. He can tell you
the the phone numbers of anybody on the
phone book. So things like this or the
deja vu sometimes you know we have an
experience and we say I've been here
before. I live you feel like you live
this thing before but you didn't but oh
this is not scientific or you have
people with inborn phobias. Oh, come uh
you know I don't know uh ladies usually
their their phobias of cockroaches for
example or whatever it is. So but all
those are nice but they're not not fully
scientific all those indicators.
But there are two scientific indicators
in my opinion. One of them and this is
what we're analyzed today regression
under hypnosis
and clinical death. So, we're going to
see examples of these two and both are
supported by thousands and thousands of
testimonies recorded, scientifically
recorded. There's a lot a lot of
information. It's not just one one thing
out there. Of course, I'll give you I
will not give you thousands. I'll give
you one or two examples. And what is
scientific in there? In all of these
cases, they reveal information that
could not have been possible to reveal
just based on current physical
understanding. So for example, if
someone under hypnosis telling you
something that will prove true later,
that's that's not that that shows you
something. If you have someone that is
clinically dead and can see what's going
on in another country or in another
room, that's something that is
scientifically interesting. Okay, let's
see. Let's see those examples.
Regression under hypnosis. The patients
basically with hypnosis, you can regress
people to previous times. So they can
even regress be regressed to previous
lives. And in fact during those sessions
many spoke foreign languages, antique
dialects or even dead languages. There
are cases where they had to call an
expert say what the heck is he talking
about? And they say oh this is an
language that disappeared in the 1600s
or something whatever or we'll see some
examples. Many have revealed facts that
could have been known only by historians
or that were revealed true sometime
after the session. example Glenn Ford.
Glenn Ford is a famous American actor
and he was interviewed by a team at UCLA
uh on those sessions. It is a so on the
third sessions he started speaking with
the Scottish accent and he said that he
was a guy called John Stewart. He lived
he lived in the 18th century in Elgen in
Scotland. uh he taught music and had
stables with horses and basically died
young in 18 uh 12 at 32 and was buried
in the Elgen cemetery close to the Baker
family.
Uh and after the session they asked
Glenn Ford about this and he said you
know the Scottish accent doesn't
surprise me because I know how to do
accents but the music and he said okay
can you please play music and he started
playing music and that was a thing he
never played music before he started
playing shop and other things like this
this is ridic something something
special and they checked the facts they
went to Elgen they checked the cemetery
they checked the days they checked the
the stones and everybody he said was
correct everything he said was correct
Uh on the fourth session he had one life
that he could not reveal. He said it was
black. He didn't want to say what it is.
And then he went back one one life
before and he said he was a French guy
called Lomvo. He spoke with a Parisian
dialect of 17th century. I don't know
who can do this. I mean I would have
liked him under hypnosis to explain to
me some of the rashes because probably
that would have really helped. And he
was he said he was responsible of the
stable in Versailles which was on the
left side and that he died in a duel in
1684.
So the story was that historical records
indicated that there was a certain Lvo
that died in a duel and was responsible
for the stables but the problem was that
the stables all the books said they were
on the right side. He said they were on
the left side. So when they investigated
further they found an old manuscript in
a museum in Paris and initially they
were on the left side. So you tell me
how something like this can be done.
Another example is a lady called J Jane
Evans that was interviewed by the BBC by
a famous uh hypnotherapist
and basically she said that in her past
one of her past lives she was called
Rebecca. She was a Jewish woman living
in York, York in England at the end of
the 20 12th century. And she was married
to a rich guy called Joseph, a money
lender, Jewish money lender. Right? We
find this in in in history.
And she describes the persecutions by
the Christians and that the Jews were
forced to wear a badge and and during
the York massacre, she took refuge with
her husband and children in a crypt in a
church. script means a kind of I think
in an under uh basement something and
but she was found and they killed her.
That was the story. They called a
professor that is an expert of Jewish
history of York and he said that all the
details were amazingly correct except
for two. Number one, the church in Rome
decreed that badges should be worn only
in the 13th century. And she said in the
12th century she was she was forced to
wear a badge which was before the time
of the of the gazilla and uh the church
that she mentioned was one of them that
was known St. Mary's Castle Gate but
this church doesn't have any crypt like
any church in the region they don't have
crypts. So there were two things that
were not right. They made further
studies and they found out that England
started practicing the badge in the 12th
century before the church imposed it.
So, and the second thing was many months
later they were doing some renovation in
the church and they found the crypt
under the pavement and that was an
exception compared to all the churches
that were in the region. So, you tell me
how is it possible that things like this
could be this is scientific data um like
this clinical death. The second example,
clinical death is defined as the
sessation of breathing, breathing and
heartbeat and absence of consciousness.
And it's a phenomena that tens of
thousands of people have experienced.
And I I guess that there may be even
people in this room do have experienced
that. Um there there were people who
made thousands and thousands of
interviews and wrote different books. Uh
the more most famous is Raymon Moody,
Life After Life. uh this was is a Eban
Alexander was a neurosurgeon that he
himself had a nannerism and he from
atheist became a believer uh that's what
usually but often often happens things
like this and the common aspects to most
crinkled death experiences are the
following they feel floating outside the
body and seeing what's happening to
one's own body they move through a
tunnel they see a big bright light they
f they have a feeling of serenity that
is difficult to describe. They ex they
have a life assessment video of the
whole life going out fast or they have a
panoramic memory and they meet usually
diseased family members and sometimes
they're even judged by having a tri c
trial sometimes with terrible suffering
um and then they receive the order to
come back to this life and they and they
return. So in fact two examples I I
heard once of a story of a lady who had
this not a Jewish lady not religious and
then she started doing chuva and one day
she was invited at someone for for
Shabbat and she comes in and she faints
they says what's going on who is this
guy on the on on on the on the painting
who is on the painting this is the
benishai he says he's the one who judged
me and told me to come back things of
this kind and I heard same story someone
said
uh different case and or the if you want
one that is an amazing thing but it
takes two hours to listen is Ravalon
Alona is a Rav invat and when you see
his picture before well he had half of
his body with tattoos earrings etc. You
don't want to meet a guy like this in
the street at night. Uh and and uh he
said that he was with his girlfriend in
a taxi and after some I don't know
alcohol or drugs or whatever he had
done. And then basically he saw himself.
He discovered secrets of the he said he
went up and the judges said you have
three things to do. You have to come
back and those are the three conditions.
He said it was an excruciating
experience and then he came back and uh
once I was in fat I saw him walking
white like the cabalists just white on
anyway. So this is uh this is one
examples. So the scientific element here
is that many descriptions report data
that could not have been known by the
patient and given his location and
status. Often they describe things that
happened in the other room. They said
you know I saw my mother crying in the
other room so I had to come back or
things of this kind. So let's have a
look at one example uh pomeray notes.
This is a scientifically documented
things and I'll tell you why you'll
understand why most scientifically
documented example of clinical death. So
this lady in her mid-30s Lauren who had
a huge anorism in her brain considered
inoperable. So anorism means you have
one of those 100,000 kilometers of vein
arteries and capillaries of our own
human body which is two and a half times
circumference of the earth that had a
blockage of something like a few
millimeters. Okay. So this is to tell
you when we shall yar thank you hashem
that what's open should be open is open.
What should be closed is closed cuz this
should have been open and was not open
and and and look at what happened to the
p the poor lady. This is uh but there
was one surgeon neurosurgeon Dr. Robert
Spetzler an expert on this and he said
he proposed her an radical operation.
What's the operation? Cool the body to
10° for 30 minutes to completely empty
the artery of blood, disassemble it and
rebuild it. So basically empty
completely the brain of blood at cool
temperature and then do things and then
reheat it and hope she comes back to
life. So after that restart the heart,
warm the body and hope she comes back to
life. Basically a program death, right?
That's that's what they had. Death for
30 minutes hoping that it will work. But
that was the only choice given what she
had. There was no way they could operate
without doing this thing.
>> Sorry.
>> Finished. She was she was about to
finish. Okay.
And basically
>> before they change
this was the proposal she was there
sick. They said lady my friend you have
one week to leave. You choose this or we
prepared a grave. That's
>> okay. So she decided to do it right.
Okay. So basically they killed her. She
had no brain function. They proved her
body temperature was low enough that she
could survive without any brain
function. And they put also on the ears
some things that made noise that she
couldn't hear what was going on in the
operating room. And the surgery was
successful. That was in 1991. And she
died a few years ago of of of heart
failure. She reported that she felt a
pop and was outside her body floating
from the ceiling of the operating room
seeing the oper entire operation and all
that the surgeons were doing and
listening to all conversations. She
described in great detail. She said the
colors were beautiful and so on. She
also met she saw the tunnel. She went
into the tunnel and on the other side
there was this incredibly beautiful
world. She met her grandmother and her
uncle who had been dead for several
years. Conversed with them. They were
happy to see her but they told her it's
not your time. You have to go back home
and she didn't want to leave but she had
to return. And he said it she said it
was like jumping in a in a in a in a
frozen uh swimming pool because in fact
her body was at 10° right? So and she
survived and she wrote a book about it.
She lived to be 60 dying only a few
years ago. Uh so bottom line this is and
this is extremely and she after the
operation she described in detail what
the surgeons were doing what the name of
the instruments were what happens and
what this one did this and this one did
that and this one this is and remember
she had things on the ear she could not
hear what was going on and at the same
time of course the the brain was
emptied. So this is I'm one of the most
amazing there's a scientific insight is
a description of what happened with
brain drained from blood meaning no
brain activity and so and she was in
there in fact it makes me think
something beautiful I read recently
there is a book of Ra Kaplan called if I
were god and it's an amazing little book
and in there he said something who are
we say who are you we point this out are
you are you the body are you the heart
well we can put an artificial heart are
you the brain so he said imagine that we
take another body and we take your brain
and put it on the other body. So who's
who, right? Are you the brain? And he
said, "Let's do a third experiment.
Let's take you and another dead body and
let's transfer all the information,
perceptions, emotions, feelings from
your brain to that other dead body. Who
is that one?" So in fact, basically we
are an isama. We're not the body. We're
nisha. Right? We said that last time. We
are a spiritual being living a physical
existence. So anyway, let's see a second
example. This guy you may know, Yosi
Sarid. Yossi Sarid was a member of the
Nesset from 73 to 2006. He was the chief
of merits. Merits is the extreme left
from 93 to 2006. Known for his virulent
and staunched atheism. So I want you. So
basically an initial interview on
December 29, 2013, which was less than
two years before his death, he surprised
many Israelis when he told an army
reviewer, a radio an army radio
interviewer that he had once suffered
death and has seen his soul ascend to
heaven. So I hope the this will work cuz
this is where I want to the is it
correct connected?
I will pass the original in Hebrew
and and then and you and I will scroll
the text in here and when it's finished
the whole text it's I I condensated in 3
minutes after that we're going to talk
in English
is good
>> maximum
My name is Matthew.
My name
Lake
home.
[Music]
Okay.
forchech.
Foreign
speech. Foreign speech. Foreign speech.
Foreigne
speech.
foreign.
Okay.
So, so bottom line he is he he himself
he says detached. I saw myself. It was
amazing to be out of the body. And they
said hold on a second but you believe
the body and the sham is the same thing.
One dies the other one dies. He says
this is yeah that's my ideology. By the
way this one happens to me. don't think
there is anything to do with anything
like this. Don't make this mistake. It's
an illusion, right? Like same as the
previous guys. And uh in fact I asked I
asked one rabbi about this and he said
uh he said he referred me to Ruv that
says the at the doors of ginam they feel
the heat they don't do chuva. So it's
amazing this guy lived an experience
that should have and by the way sid
means survivor I understand in Hebrew
right? So he's a survivor and it's a
>> I don't know. Okay. So anyway, so this
is an amazing example by the way when
when you have someone like this that
says this. Do you have an experience of
a soul detaching from the body declared
by an ultraatalist that's fine it will
stop. So this is the best proof when you
have so you don't have a rabbi saying
this. You have someone who is exactly on
the other spectrum that says that says
this. Okay. So bottom line, this was
what I want to share. I made a couple of
uh of advertisement. I would appreciate
if you can fill the sheets in there and
tell me if you are interested in
receiving emails when we have other
events like this. Please put your name
and your email. Uh if you speak French,
there are many videos on different
topics are very interesting especially
for they use it in u in French school in
some French Jewish French schools to
teach some some science. uh and I did
many of these conferences before but of
course if you know places that would
benefit from this I would be interested
in presenting I'm not doing it for money
I also publish a few things mostly in
French but and the and the
important people like my videos so just
okay so let's go back let give me just
give me just three minutes
>> you can't just say and give us a tug.
What is that?
>> I was a jerk. I was a joke.
>> Okay, let me just give me just 2
minutes. Give me just 2 minutes. We're
done. I want you to receive to to read
this sentence again. Nature, the mostest
veil of protection that God spreads over
man so as not to force him to believe in
God. After all, we have seen and what we
have seen. We have seen the scenic
route. We have seen the number of stars.
We have seen the lunar cycle and the
gamarra beats the naza on both counts.
And then we have the highway. We saw the
median desert beetle with basically no
water. He feed he drinks. We have the
tamar walabi with the two different
types of milk on the two different
breasts. We have the 100% efficient
light of the fireflight. We saw the
amazing 10 to the power of 20 processes
that go on in our in our body every
second more than the number of grains of
sands in earth. We saw the complexity of
the eye and how the evolutionist tried
to make some something out of it. We saw
the resurrection of the the butterfly
the butterfly from caterpillar to
butterfly with keeping the consciousness
of when he was a caterpillar. We saw
examples of uh regression undernosis
with Glenn Ford and others. And we saw
testimonials of clinical death from
Yosed and and others. So I think this is
enough for us to say well I think I
should get closer to a baru and in fact
the key message that we see when when
when we see planning structured
complexity perfect functionality
synchrony between complex systems beauty
in all aspects of creation we understand
that we can only say
and thank hashem for this beautiful
world and I understand for women
will be same presentation next but at
9:00 M here and uh now like Vikro used
to say questions on any subject but I
put a with no guarantee that I can
answer and of and there is an email that
you can email me if you have any
question want something and there is a
little small WhatsApp group that I put
some things that are interesting in
there. If you're interesting send me a
message to this one.
Okay. I have a simple question which is
not understood properly but what is the
difference between a star and a planet
and I'd also like to ask that how do we
explain the fact that in
our we refer to only seven planets on
existence could you please answer those
questions
no I cannot answer that question I don't
know I don't know the well we say
planets we have the planets we have our
planets that revolve around the the sun
we call them planets Planets um the rest
we call stars. There is a certain
definition of planets that it has to
what
>> planet means wanderer that wanders
>> which wanders
>> wonders that moves places
that's why in the end
>> but the point is they they revolve
there's for example there was a story of
Pluto Pluto was a certain point a planet
then it's not a planet anymore because
it's there is a criteria that he doesn't
satisfy for the planet but I don't
remember exactly what criteria it is.
home.
>> Yeah.
>> Other questions?
>> Yes. Definitely.
>> Um this idea of uh you showed
>> Yes.
>> to people from all those years ago.
Why is the no more recent? I think this
is like people
>> you talk about and company this guy
>> this hypnos.
No, there there are plenty, but I tried
to choose two examples that I thought
were very uh if you go and you can look
in the literature on the psychology
papers, you can find plenty of examples
of this or on the the books that have
been written on on clinical death, you
have probably more recent examples. But
the one of of of Pam Reynolds is amazing
because it's absolutely documented from
beginning to end with precision because
that was a one-of-a-kind kind of surgery
at the time. So that's there's no Baba
Meister that someone invented the story.
It was recorded from beginning to end
with extreme precision.
>> You're familiar with uh sorry I don't
have a regular recent book. I've been
here before. No. Uh it's a documentation
of dozens dozens of cave was put out
like uh last 5 years.
>> Okay. Uh you can easily order it at uh
Jamaica or uh or or take that story
down.
Um that uh it's um it's dozens dozens of
cases of people who uh through phobias
uh flashbacks
went through the Holocaust. includes
Goyam who found out had all these dreams
and then later on found out that wait a
minute they have been Jews who
holocaust. It's really it's really
incredible.
>> Sorry you have heard it really. Okay
great. Yes.
>> Have the answer. What was the question?
>> Speak louder please. I focus on
discussion because I've heard many of
his stories about you know life after
death and even another I've seen a lot
of things and he compares his experience
to to that of many other people.
>> Yes.
>> The thing that I have question is when
all these
>> going to shine his own experience and
everything
>> you know you'd expect them to understand
that wait there is one truth. Um
>> that's a great question. I have I
understand
yes
>> you have an answer for that
>> I just want to add to it that there are
people that come back and say this Jesus
or whatever
>> that's right I I have a problem with
this one too that's that's that's one
thing is that you're right you're right
in those books they they say those
things yes on this one I
>> Yes the Christian some Christians say
this they say that they so this is the
part that is uh
The Yahoo pastor has a book called soul
searching where he goes through again
Moody and Steven
cases where
>> no they say they say this they're
correct includes a Christian kid who was
dead when he was a baby and when they
when his when he was toler Right. They
took him to a Christmas. He came back.
He said, "Listen, that guy isn't God."
>> Seriously, that guy is not God. I'm
sorry. I was up here. You can't you
can't say that this guy is because
technically described like how he's
shown by the way, but no Jew at that
time had like a year or something like
that. Nobody was
>> I don't know. I don't know. So that's
>> I don't know.
>> Yes. After after we close the camera, I
will tell you a joke. But
have you written any books?
>> Right.
>> Have you written any books?
>> No, I wrote articles. But uh I'm
thinking about it. But
>> the first book because I was thinking
exactly your whole presentation tonight.
I was learning about two weeks ago.
Okay. And I need an updated version of
every single thing that you presented
tonight as an updated version as a
modern day version
to to to give cuz the virtually any
example of what you're saying. There
needs to be more today
for generations. See, if someone wants
to, you know, I need some help for doing
a lot of things in English and and in
Hebrew, even if it's another thing.
>> Okay. Well, let's go. Let's go. First
the the the questions. Other questions?
Yes. familiar with there's a misur I've
heard uh I don't know how widespread it
is that when they die that their
souls actually go through just as Jews
go through the mar that the go
through the great pyramid and but but
the the main thing is that there's a
hephresh there's a division between
where the Jews go and where the go
we're in it we're on the whole and so
this does does there seems to be an
inconsistency where we see uh uh Jews
coming back as and so on. Uh un
unless maybe it's a punishment, it's an
honest because there are the shamas
everywhere and Jews come back as stones
and uh animals. So
>> that's the only thing I can think of.
Any ideas?
>> I don't have ideas. No, they you're
asking a religious question. So I I'm
staying on the science. Go question. Did
>> you say about fossils?
>> Yes,
>> fossils. You didn't mention that what
that are like simpler and get more
complex complex.
>> That's no first of all there is Camber
explosion that shows the simplest and
complex at the same level. That's one
thing and the second thing is when you
if you look at really a fossils you have
to make first of all when you look in
which condition is the fossil and what
part of the fossil you have there are
things for example I understand from
Lucy we got only what did we have tiny
parts here and there and make a whole
construction. I'll tell you one thing. I
saw a book of of my wife, French book of
science. It showed what Lucy was
represented something like 15 years ago
and what it is now. 15 years ago it was
more more monkey like and what it is
today is more humanlike. The story is
that when you have even if you had the
whole skeleton the muscle the way that
you put the muscles in there you can
change completely the physi to look more
monkey like or more humanlike. So there
is a lot of monkey business let's say
going on on on the representation of
what the fossils are. Second what they
don't tell you is how much how many
pieces you found. Sometimes they found
the tooth and they make a whole story of
what the animal was and and this is
sheer gamur. This is obvious and
sometimes I saw videos they say we have
three hypothesis one of them is it's
created and then they go on the third
hypothesis and how about the other two.
So they never tell you the hypothesis
they make. So when you look at the
scientific paper on paleontology or
things like this, you need to look very
very very very careful about the things.
And of course, you know, I if if I told
you that I did I found lower down a
Chevrolet of 68 and then upper up
Chevrolet of 74 and then upper up
Chevrolet of of 1980 doesn't mean there
was evolution. It was that there were
three different creations. So the fact
is that when you find fossils there's
not an inference who emit that there was
an evolution. Maybe there was zero
evolution. There were different
creations at different times.
>> Dinosaurs
I I don't know dinosaurs but I don't
have a problem with dinosaurs
doesn't have a problem with dinosaurs.
So that's the only thing is if the
dinosaur you became a human that's an
issue but that's not that's not the
case. Right.
>> How was
that? uh carbon dating.
>> Oh, that's a completely different story.
So, first of all, carbon dating makes a
lot of assumptions on on things. It
makes assumptions that the the rate was
constant and it makes some for example
that there was a certain level to start
with. If you change the assumption, the
initially initial assumption then the
whole thing changes. And second, you can
cheat carbon dating with some processes.
You know, I I read this story, I
couldn't find the the again, but I saw
other examples on the same line. Take a
chicken from the supermarket, right, and
carbonize it in atmosphere or ethylene
and other things at certain temperature
and then bring it to the science and
telling how old is it. They did this.
Italian kids did this. They took a
certain chicken. They did some thermal
processes in the presence certain gases
containing carbon. And they brought it
to the to the scientist and they said,
"Tell me what is this?" Oh yeah, it's a
doro 400,000 million years ago. They
say, "Sorry, we bought it at the
supermarket two weeks ago." Well, so
just uh the the dating is completely so
for example we say a number quantity of
salt on the ocean and the because we
assume there was no salt and because of
erosion of the rocks you get the salt.
Hold on a second. Maybe Hashem created
with the salt in there. No, it's not an
assumption. So that's uh
>> compared to the Darwin stuff is made
more assumptions less about the same.
>> Darwin is all assumptions. is all
extrapolations and assumptions all over
the place. That's where you need to be
careful cuz the the the micro evolution
he observed is correct. It was observed
is correct. The extrapolation he made
are the ones where that he said it's
obvious that you can extrapolate. It's
not obvious at all. It's not obvious at
all that you can extrapolate simple and
complex simultaneously
>> and they are cumban explosion found
complex and simple at the same level of
fossils. Yes. What about the argument
that macro evolution
>> that
>> macro evolution? Yes. Micro evolution
compiled into one thing so much.
>> No, because there are so many changes.
So, first of all, if you look at the
epigenetics, you understand why some
things can change in in in a certain
individual or a certain species over
time. But when you when you take a
change from a fish to a lizard
transformation from a a flap uh how do
you um
>> from to to a a leg or you you change
from a leg to a wing they said this it's
impossible it's new material completely
and and you when you think about the
intermediate hypothesis doesn't make any
sense so we he says in fact I said last
time there's a stan in in in in the
evolution meaning that survival of the
fittest. The question is how the fittest
came back. So survival of the fittest
versus very slow evolution. So imagine a
fish that has one foot. It's it's not
the it's not the fittest. You need to
wait for the four feet and for the whole
thing to be a fittest. Either you say it
changed completely from fish to lizard
in one day which has other problems or
you can the hypothesis of Darwin nobody
nobody holds anymore because it doesn't
make any sense. I'll tell you even more.
One question we we discussed together is
let's even assume it's possible that
there was one fish that became a lizard.
Okay. Hold from my book I know today
there are people who are making new
books but my book says that you need a
male and a female to have children
right. So the first one that transformed
let's say it's a male. So what you have
you need a second miracle of a female at
the same time and they're at the same
place that they can make to mate
together to do. Come on. The whole thing
is so nonsensical and the probabilities
when you go into probabilities you see
that it's so ridiculous. So the the
honestly I think some scientists should
be ashamed to say yeah there's a chance
one in 10 to the^ 48. Second this is
like I buy one ticket of the lottery in
every country for 10 years in a win all
the lotteryies. Right? If I said to you
this you would say impossible. But this
one they publish. Why? I don't know.
>> Does anyone try to answer that after?
>> No. The answer the why to answer the the
the reason why they do it. I don't know
if it's your question. The reason why
they do it speaks clearly is because you
know it's much easier to leave without
having to report to a god and do what I
want. So if I can get God out of the
picture so to speak and I can be you
know it's just evolution things happen
abioenesis and then nothing there was no
god into the whole story then I can do
every every perversion that I want and I
don't have to give accounts to anybody
and I'm a free man right he said that's
me that's me as you heard what he said
before that's me it's me that's me
that's me didn't didn't or uh admit that
the reason that they ran after all was
just because they wanted to have a freer
lifestyle emitted in the maybe one of
>> there are some I know there is one one
who who switched completely one famous
evolutionist that switched completely
the other side and of course that you
don't hear much about it I don't
remember what his name is I I have to
recharge
Fender's uh the evolution revolution
from 2014 he brings all I show he brings
all the uh no he brings all the uh the
evolution Okay.
>> Is is evolution necessarily? We know
there's a there's
>> uh all built off I I am a scientist on
the rav. So you asked this question to
your local Orthodox rabbi for this. I I
I think that you know uh there is so
much compelling evidence out there. I
showed you something like six or seven
examples in here. If you wanted to stay
here until next week, we can dig other
hundreds of examples. Wherever you look,
you seem
it's unbelievable. And when you think
about cycles, things that work together.
I I I heard on a on a on a tape of arav
of of the Mirisha that he said uh he he
in a whitesman uh um magazine of the
whitesman institute they talked about a
certain animal uh no a certain uh tree
that had certain fruits that to
pollinate needed a certain animal to
take the pollen from another type of
flowers and synchronize one of the
other. So you have to synchronize the
animal with the plant for this to work
and so on. And one of the scientists
heard this and he started crying. He
says, "You see the power of evolution."
So you know uh you tell me
I want I wanted to ask another question
as well.
>> Something that spoken about Greg Gills
is global warming business.
>> Yes.
>> As a scientist, what's your opinion is
that science.
>> Okay. The story is you know we we are
surrounded by fake news and we don't
know how fake or not fake are. They say
that some levels of water are rising.
There are some coastal lines that are
getting eroded and and to tell you the
truth we have done things to the
environment that are not so nice. I mean
we have polluted the environment like
crazy that when you think about what
happened in the last I would not even
say century in the last 50 years it's
it's completely different than anything
that we have done before. Think about
this one thing that is fascinating. When
I was a kid, we we said that there were
almost 4 billion people on earth. Today
we're are eight. I mean, and and and
it's only I I'm not I'm not 200 years
old, right? Uh so that's this is the
world is changing really fast and today,
you know, who can live without five
cards, right? And uh and the at the end
has to have to go on the on the
environment and things like this. So
that's um we we are consuming a lot or
producing a lot. So is it possible that
we have done some damage to the
environment? I think it's possible.
I don't know exactly to which extent I
have a colleague of mine who who uh also
like on my research looking money for
producing alternative energies and stuff
like that. And he has this chart where
he shows the world the temperatures
moving from 1700 and green blue da when
it gets to today is red flashy red
meaning so hot and so on. So just make
the case dramatic. Um I think the mabush
is much more dramatic than the global
warming
>> in my opinion. But that's another story
about the the XL
ex
and the like what they have damage
>> but they do a lot of damage but you know
the question is who has made a big world
so that's only localized things. I don't
I'm I was not on that project. I don't
know other questions.
