RebE, right, but still as Avira says, most say that, given that we have Torah, we do not need to rely so much on science to get to know Hashem.
But what would you say – if Rambam were to live now, would he still copy his astronomy from Aristotle, or would he first look at recent science? And if yes, would he go to Princeton, or would he just read up Richard Feinman’s multi-volume physics on his own? Or would he read this thread and say – no, I’ll stick with sefer hamitzvos.
PS interesting details: Rambam was in Fes when the best science was in the Medrasa there (some call it first university, before French and English). One presumably had to be Muslim to attend though, and Rambam was accused in Egypt that he used to be a Muslim, but was acquitted.
