Next I discuss the convictions and considerations that constituted the building blocks for the spiritual foundation of my life. I reach the conclusion that the building blocks were derived from Judaism and explain why that is so. Finally, I conclude that the scientific and the theological ingredients of my life relate reciprocally and do not exist independently. %U https://mh.bmj.com/content/medhum/29/2/89.full.pdf
