To be clearer.
Slifkin’s position is that Aggadita and Halacha when it conflicts with science is wrong. period.
Slifkin claims he understands the Aggadita and understands science and therefore has the ability to make his statements.
The Torah view is that he is a fool.
Aggaditta is not wrong, we may not be able to rule based on it since we do not fully understand the words of Chazal (Mahral -Be’er HaGolah) who deliberatley wrote certain things in a cryptic fshion to conceal “esoteric” secrets from those not worthy of understanding them (Ramchal, Mammar Al HoAggadita, Vilna Gaon Mishlei Perek Aleph, Brought in Even Shelaima).
