Professor Richard Leakey predicts skepticism over evolution will soon be history, the avowed atheist says, Extinction is always driven by environmental change; I think we have to recognize that the future is by no means a very rosy one.
The pessimism of atheism stems from a view of creation based on an infinite universe that, given enough time, will spontaneously create something; given infinite time anything is possible and demise is inevitable. The Torah is adamant, Creation is a finite production of the Creator.
In a finite creation, like a book with a beginning middle and end, a story is being told regarding the relationship between Creator and creation; the story does not end with a bang or a whimper but with conclusion that brings together the major protagonists – God and man.
In order to maintain freedom of choice, both opinions lack conclusive proof yet both have compelling evidence. Science has bones dating back millions of years while Torah has inscrutable knowledge portending different conclusions – the infinite and the finite are the two sides of free choice.
The basis of free choice derives from our view of God – only God who is infinite can create a confine; every confine has a unique structure, like a snowflake. Within the geometry of creation can be deduced the story written by the Creator being acted out by creation.

THE CABALA OF BOB
President Obama pinned the Presidential Medal of Freedom around Bob Dylan's neck as the singer stood in the White House inscrutable in black sunglasses.
I first met Bob in the Navy; the sailors I served with insisted in listening to what they called: shit-kicking music, a nasal twangy sound from the deep south and then all of a sudden a new sound hit the radio – I was stunned, the announcer introduced the new artist, Bob Dylan.
You can’t even understand anything that guy says, said the sailors; I don’t know what he’s saying, I agreed, but he’s saying it. I am a few years younger than Bob, he has been my big brother throughout my life – like God, Bob was always there, singing to my soul, when I needed him.
Forever stoic, Bob is an enigma to his fans, a man who guards his feelings while portraying in his words and melodies the soul of the world. Bob does not just sing about freedom, Bob is free – what more appropriate an honor to give this extraordinary figure than the Medal of Freedom.
I have travelled many a mile on the road singing Bob to the indelible truth; I married when he married and divorced when he divorced – I have been up and down and all around, but there’s one thing I would never want to do, is to say I’ve been hitting that hard traveling, too.

THE CABALA OF ASTEROIDS
A recently discovered asteroid passed surprisingly close to the earth yesterday; a very near miss in the cosmic scheme of things, ranking in the list of the 10 closest asteroid passes ever recorded – the 3 m wide asteroid is the sixth closest near miss ever.
This occurrence happened on the last day of Shavuot, the holiday celebrating the giving of the Torah 3500 years ago – it is known, on Shavuot the heavens open up and a new energy enters in. This remarkable coincidence is emblematic of a universe filled with thoughtful mystery.
The existential way of viewing the universe has the Earth as a pointless dot amid endless chaos – this point of view is exemplified by a survival of the fittest philosophy wherein the the strong survive while the weak parish. Wars are often fought on this basic premise.
The Cabala explains, The Earth is the center of creation, based on the Zohar-Book of Secret that teaches, All stars in the universe connect to the Earth – meaning, creation was engraved out of the hard light, light without space, and the shards of creation are the stars.
According to this understanding, all celestial bodies have a purpose and a time relevant to life here on Earth where freedom of choice abounds. The human being has the God-given right to perceive creation either as a colossal happenstance or a meticulous ballet of enormous scale.

THE CABALA OF MARS
New evidence from meteorites suggests that the basic building blocks of life are present on Mars; the study found that carbon present in 10 meteorites came from the planet Mars and was not the result of contamination on Earth.
The planet Mars is identified in the Zohar-Book of Secret as the previous world known as Tohu/Chaos; Mars is the first time life appears in our Solar System as a result of the interaction with Jupiter that blows off the exterior of Mars forming the asteroid belt between the two planets.
The Zohar describes the interior of Mars as being ice surrounded by water explaining why Mars does not have a magnetic field like the Earth, which has an iron core. On the Earth when the rock is hit fire is emitted in the form of sparks; on Mars, water come from the rocks.
The Zohar calls the planet Mars by the name Tziah/Dry; when probes first landed on Mars scientist were dumbfounded by the terrain that looked like a dried flood plain. The Talmud-Book of Law says, the flood of Noah emanated from Mars and hit the Earth like a wet dream.
The Cabala explains, Life on Mars was yet unformed but was delivered to the Earth in the small packets of life that we know as DNA. The Torah relates how life was called forth from the earth having previously been planted. Torah and science do not contradict, on the contrary – they inform.

THE CABALA OF SHAVOUT
American Jews typically associate Shavuot with the Book of Ruth, late-night Torah study sessions and eating at least one generous helping of cheesecake.
The holiday of Shavout/Vows is a celebration commemorating the giving of the Torah 3500 years ago – fifty days after the Jewish People gained freedom and became a nation. The Cabala relates this event as a marriage between the Creator, the husband and the Jewish People, the bride.
In a Jewish wedding, the man gives something of worth to the woman and the woman gives herself to the man; at the giving of the Torah, God gave the Jewish People the Ten Commandments and the Jewish People gave themselves to God – promising to fulfill the 613 Commandments inscribed in the Torah.
Every year at this time the Torah is given anew and the vows are rekindled. Shavout concludes what began the first night of Passover 50 days earlier; both holidays happened at night – the greatest light comes out of the darkness. The two days of Shavout are prefaced by the Shabbot.
This three day holiday is mirrored by the Memorial Day weekend celebrating those who fought for freedom. The Talmud-Book of Law writes, There is no freedom without Torah. The freedom of choice given to the human being is, how to use our freedom, to pursue money or pursue truth?

THE CABALA OF SCHMUCK
Bill Clinton just out-Clinton'd himself – posing with two famous porn stars in Monaco in a Monte Carlo casino for a special Nights in Monaco gala event; several celebrities were in attendance and a whole bunch of porn stars.
Once a Schmuck always a Schmuck, but a presidential Schmuck beats them all. Clinton defines Schmuckness by his Schmucky excuse – I did it because I could, referring to his blow job in the Oval Office in the White House while being President of the United States. A real Schmuck.
For those not hip to the term, a Schmuck is one who uses sexuality for purposes other than sexual; pornography and prostitution use sex to make money but they are not Scmucks because they are open about their activities; a real Schmuck is a sexual hypocrite, like Clinton.
The Cabala explains, sexuality can be used to acquire spiritual power by performing sexual acts for that purpose – Clinton taking a Jewish woman in the Oval Office was commiserate with the wicked Titis, after destroying the Temple, taking a prostitute in the Holy of Holies.
Titus was punished by God but Clinton is not worth punishment. Billam, the non-Jewish prophet living at the time the Torah was given 3500 years ago, was famous for having sex with his donkey to get spiritual power; Clinton is the modern day Billam, that’s why he is called Bill.

THE CABALA OF BALADEN
In response to US ire and a pledge to assist a Pakistani doctor charged with treason for helping the US capture Osama bin Laden, the Pakistani foreign ministry called on the US to respect its legal process.
According to the Torah, that divides the obligation of the world to the Creator into 613 Commandments to the Jewish People and the Seven Commandments of the Children of Noah, Pakistan is correct, because having courts of law is one of the Seven Commandments given to the nations.
America transgressed the sovereign law of a state to kill one very bad man and in doing so sacrificed another man now sentenced to 33 years in prison, for the sake of expediency. Though no one can lament this bad man’s deserved death, one travesty has led to another.
The Talmud-Book of Law says, Sin draws more sin. The Zohar-Book of Secret speaks about BaLaden who is a dog, not even human – now that he is dead there is no chance to capture and interrogate this monster. On wonders, if there were not other considerations and hidden agendas at play?
The Cabala teaches, in the end God will slay the Yetzer HoRa/Bad Inclination until then we are subject to his whim for the purpose of bringing about free choice. When we transgress one of God’s Commandments, unexpected, detrimental happenings occur. Whether, Torah or Islam, God is always right.
