At face value, the Torah seemingly teaches us that the universe is 6,000 years old. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Therefore, many people would hold the opinion that anyone who believes that the world is older than 6,000 years is an apikores(one who denies the basic tenets of Judaism). However, there is scientific evidence that the universe is more than 6,000 years old; maybe millions of times more. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e How do we resolve this question?\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 52\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.25 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 12, 2007\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42643378569312,"sku":"9781638231578","price":32.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/1922\/9280\/files\/NUdvYUxXVGNJNzBoZU80RjU2RWdudz09.webp?v=1773341464","url":"https:\/\/bijoucc.myshopify.com\/products\/kabbalah-and-the-age-of-the-universe-hardcover-1","provider":"CARIBBEAN CONNECT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
