Abstract
In this paper I look back on my life, on what have I tried to achieve professionally, and on what trends and theories I have opposed. 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.
