I have read Rabbi Meiselmann’s book, I have also read one of Slifkin’s books, parts of the others and read through explanations he gives on his website. In addition I read through parts of Slifkin’s “responses” to Rabbi Meisellman’s books.

I did’nt read through al of them because it got tiring after awhile of reading Slifkin missing the point.

Regarding the purely scientific sections of Rabbi Meiselmann’s books.

Slifkin may be right regarding some of his point’s I don’t know enough science to be qualified to take a stand. I furthermore get the distinct impression that Rabbi Meiselmann himself admit’s to scientific questions that he does not fully ansewer . The same can be said for many of the theories espoused by Slifkin.

Rabbbi Meiselmann’s point in discusiing the science was not answer certain questions, it was merely to show there are other “theories”, othe rpossibilities, and other approaches.

He does an admirable job of doing so.
