Ben Levi: If anyone can understand what you are writing,please elucidate me! The contortions you have to go through to make any sense to support your shittah shows how untenable it is to normal people. You keep on saying that just anything chazal (and the Rambam) said concerning science and the natural sciences is a “SOD”- a secret! Well ,it must such a great secret because no one knows what your are talking about! You know perfectly well that,even in torah, we have a klal “ein mikro jotzei midei peshuto”. Why should we read the Rambam other than what he actually meant to write? And what secrets did chazal hide in some of their sayings about natural sciences that have been proven worng? Sorry but I prefer to be logical.
As far as the pirush Hamishnayos,why don’t you read a few lines further that you quoted? If I have time, I’ll write the translation.
