Poshite Yid, your reply to me seems inconsistent. First you argue that science is “kfirah” because it’s based on observations. Then you quote Rashi regarding the presence of every yid at matan torah. Rashi is actually pointing out that we know matan torah happened because we were there–our own personal observations aka the scientific method.
Like haifagirl, I find that knowledge inspires my emuna much more than ignorance (though I am more interested in physics than chemistry). Obviously your mileage may vary.
