BS”D
Why is anyone so intent on disproving the scientific statements of Chazal?
I would understand someone who is actively searching for a cure to disease to want to check out all angles, and this is true pikuach nefesh. Such investigation is of little interest and hard to understand unless you are really trained in science and therefore belongs in the classroom and the laboratory where it will be used for good.
On the other hand, for someone who is ostensibly shoimer Torah umitzvos to do so in order to prove that this generation has more knowledge than Chazal did, is a sign of lack of emunah at best, and pure gaava at worst. Reishis chochma yiras Hashem.
