Ben Levi,
My point was simply that when discussing if Chazal erred in science the discussion has to be about the proofs to Chazal’s science vs the Proofs to Modern Scientific statements. Even if EVREY SINGLE talmud chachom who lived after the Rambam argued on him; if the Mitzius is that he was correct then he was correct. Doesn’t matter who argued.
To say that the Moreh Nevuchim is not meant to be read literally is a very difficult statement. As the rambam did not write it for talmidie chachomim only- he wrote it in Arabic so even common people could read it.
