Writer to lecture on “Judaism and Science’

Daniel Friedman Space expert and author Daniel Friedman will present a no-holds barred lecture titled “Judaism and Science” at the Chabad Chai Center in south Tampa on Sunday, Jan. 13 at 11 a.m.

Friedman is author of The Genesis One Code, a book that is a Kabbalistic interpretation of the creation of Earth story in Genesis. It attempts to reconcile scientific evidence that the universe is nearly 14 billion years old with the creation story of seven days. Friedman assigns different human year times to “divine” times and “creation” times to reconcile science with the Genesis story.

Friedman was CEO of Mac- Donald, Dettwiler and Associates, Canada’s largest space systems company and the world’s largest commercial communications satellite manufacturer, for 20 years. He has worked for 30 years in the space industry, including being involved with NASA and other major space agencies and participating on key projects from the Hubble space telescope to Mars missions. He has published papers on space industry topics cosmology, as well as, on the correlation between biblical teachings and scientific theory.

The lecture will take place at the Chabad Chai Center at 2511 W. Swann Ave., Tampa. Tickets are $15. Sponsorships, which include a private question and answer session with Friedman, are $180.
