Stars, Cells, and God

A Scientific Case from Modern Physics—Does God Exist?

Feb 18, 2026
Aaron Zimmer, a rabbi with a physics background and trading-model experience, and Elie Feder, a rabbi and mathematician specializing in graph theory, discuss why our universe follows the particular qualitative laws it does. They explore multiple possible law-sets, why ours produce structure and complexity, critiques of multiverse replies, and why selection of such laws suggests design.

  • Elie Feder introduces himself as a rabbi and mathematician with a PhD in graph theory who co-hosts Physics to God.
  • He and Aaron Zimmer have spent over a decade exploring physics and theology and started a podcast and book project.
ANECDOTE

From Physics Degree To Market Modeler

  • Aaron Zimmer says he studied physics but moved into commodity trading, applying physics-style modeling to markets.
  • He and Elie use their diverse backgrounds to craft arguments linking modern physics to the existence of God.
INSIGHT

Many Possible Law Systems Replace The Puzzle

  • The unique-final-theory hope collapsed as physicists realised many alternative, consistent sets of laws are possible.
  • Paul Davies and others acknowledged we can model many consistent laws on computers, so ours is one choice among many.
