Gao: “Aristotle’s philosophy had much more of an impact.., heresy.., Kefira..,”
In my understanding, according to the Rambam, the Aristotelian philosophy of the universe and Judaism’s understanding are equal in terms of philosophical proof. The core difference is that we believe in Creation Ex Nihilo while Aristotle argued that both Hashem and the universe have always existed.
I agree that a Yid should beware this difference, but your hatred of Aristotle and your embracing of Hawking is curious. Maybe there’s something else you would like to share? Maybe you have a family member with ALS?
