It’s amazing how perhaps the greatest scientist of our generation is in sync with Peor!
“The cult of Peor is an illustration of the type of Darwinism that glories in man’s descent to the level of the beast, where, stripping himself of his Divinely-given nobility, he comes to regard himself as merely a highly-developed animal”
Rav Hirsch Bamidbar 25:3
On humans and our place in the world
"I believe the simplest explanation is, there is no G-d. No one created the universe and no one directs our fate.
We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star.
But we can understand the universe. That makes us something very special."
Stephen Hawking
