Reply To: The world is in a state of Geula- and don’t misunderstand us!

Rso I can respond to your points 123 post but don’t know if anyone really wants one. I think it’s pretty clear that you don’t regard the Rebbe as a tzadik and pulling apart and responding to that post wouldn’t make a whit of a difference to you (as anything a lubavitcher says or writes is automatically suspect in your eyes.)

Obviously I do regard my Rebbe as a tzadik and could pull apart that post, but don’t want to if it’s just a waste of time.

As far as “Lubavitchers believe what they want and don’t let the facts get in the way ” aside from the fact that sundials are not in use today etc and you don’t know the topography of the given place etc.

Aside from that, yes science can and does err all the time. It is not absolute. Even by sciences standards everything is a certain percentage of likelihood and there is no 100%. Whereas Torah and Tzaddikim are 100% true.

You remind me of a conversation I had with my frum science teacher in high school. I once asked her how she would explain that mitzvah 97 in Sefer hamitzvos (if I’m not mistaken with the number) is that we are not allowed to eat bugs that do not derive from a male and female, but derive from rotting food.

She saw it as the Rambams mistake or lack of scientific knowledge. I would see it as the exact opposite: that current scientific thought has shown the eggs etc but they don’t yet know that species can derive from rotting…. And if I was in the science field, I would focus my research on that too make an easy Nobel prize…

A few years ago, I went to a science museum and one of the most recent science prizes was awarded to a scientist who proved why pregnant women don’t topple over.

I was amused thinking if only that progressive scientist knew that Rashi had written that up years ago… I couldve won the prize myself knowing rashi.
