 the parsha of Bereishis always fascinated me, so I find this perspective very interesting.

Genesis and The Supreme Squish: The Discovery of How the Universe Developed from a Ginormous Womb – and Not a Wild Fireworks Display

“… Rav Yehudah Petiyah introduced a completely different set of events in his book, Minchat Yehudah, which allowed me to drop the Big Bang theory…” (myrtlerising)

Excerpt:

“ The Me'am Lo'ez states an opinion that nothing else was created at this time except the Angel of Death, and that he was in the Tehom.
