WOODMERE, NY / ACCESSWIRE / October 20, 2021 / Geoffrey Girnun combines academic insights in cancer research and religious contemplation and exploration on the Science of Emunah website.
Often it seems science and religion are opposites locked in a battle for the hearts and minds of people. However, there are scientists who embrace religion and religious minds who are brilliant scientists.
Geoffrey Girnun, cancer researcher, is a person who embraces both science and religion and finds unity in what many would see as competing ideologies. On his website, Science of Emunah, Geoffrey tracks the latest scientific advancements in many areas, including cancer research and COVID-19 research, while also exploring the relationship between Science and Torah.
Geoffrey Girnun explains how science deepens his faith
On Science of Emunah, the overlap of science and faith is explored both academically and personally as Geoffrey Girnun examines key principles of both science and Torah, and the unity between the two. He also examines how the overlap has deepened his faith, creating a complex personal testimonial and intellectual argument.
In one academic examination of the science of the flood described in the story of Noach, Geoffrey examines the origins of water on earth and asteroids as an explanation for the rising waters presented in the account.
In addition to reviewing decades-old research on theories relating to water appearing on earth from comets, the author also examined recent explorations into the earth's mantle to explain how the earth could be covered with water three times the volume of the current oceans. At the center of this exploration is a rock named ringwoodite, Girnun explains. The ringwoodite rock was located in asteroids and made in labs over the past several decades, but it was believed to be in limited supply on earth until a cache was discovered over 200 miles below the earth's surface.
Geoffrey Girnun breaks down research showing the ringwoodite belt and its associated water weight is equal to a minimum of three times the water in the earth's oceans. This correlates with the account of Noach's flood referencing waters rising from the earth itself.
In a layered examination, Geoffrey ties together the Torah, multiple decades of scientific research in geology, and investigations into earth's evolution to explain how Noach's flood could have occurred.
However, as Girnun concludes, the real result is an acknowledgment of the strengths of Hashem and the use of Nature, a human concept, to bring about the extraordinary events described in the Torah.
