Creation and Evolution in Kabala
Rabbi David Azulai
Kabala, Kabbalah - Kabbalistic Comments Off on Creation and Evolution in Kabala
It is so hard for us, the humans, to understand the process of creation because God’s eternal intellect cannot be understood by a human limited and perishable mind.
However, both religion and science attempt to comprehend and explain it. Surprisingly enough Kabala theories about universal creation and evolution have a lot in common with scientific concepts on this matter.
According to Kabala, at the beginning there was the eternal and inactive intellect – the God, or Ein Sof – who did not manifest itself or show its potential in that reality yet, and therefore represented absolute nonexistence.
Later God’s manifestation became the actual act of creation – the emanation of light and matter that started filling nonexistence.
Does that not sound like one of the widespread, logical and scientifically proven theories of the universal creation? It certainly does.
According to kabalistic ideas, since God still continues to emanate the light, our universe continues expanding and moving further into nothingness.
