Is there a Blueprint for the Universe?

Every word in the 6 day Genesis creation account describes the origins of the universe and life on earth, and every discovery and observation by science leads to understanding of how the universe came to be, often in seeming contradiction to Genesis. They can’t both be right, or can they? We will compare what the Torah says happened and when it happened with the latest scientific discoveries relating to the development of the universe and the appearance of life on earth. We will discover that the Genesis creation narrative and scientific observation agree on what happened and when it happened. We will then discuss how it all happened—approaching the Origins debate from a new perspective informed by both scientific and spiritual research.
