To do so, the Divinity inherent in nature and man, must be revealed. Over the past century and a half there have been various approaches and attempts to find a formula for unifying Torah and science.

The process by which secular wisdom is transformed and becomes part of Torah is compared to the process which transforms a non-Jew wishing into a righteous convert--making him or her into an inseparable part of the Jewish people.
