i am curious as to the degree of formal (or even informal) scientific education possessed by those on this board who relate to contemporary science/math with terms like “shtusim”, “nonsense”, “sheker”, “kefira”, (or even just “boring”), etc.. i’m expecting to hear either that 1. these various posters actually have studied science on a graduate level (or perhaps even hold Ph.D.’s), or 2. science is such “shtus” that any 10 year old in yeshiva can tell you its a waste of time.
i suspect that those who are arguing most loudly that science is “shtus” and we can learn all of science exclusively from torah have actually had a very limited exposure to science/the study of science. in all likelihood this may be something they are proud of. but we should also consider how much value can be ascribed to the opinion of someone who may admittedly be completely ignorant on the subject he is addressing.
of course, i would be very happy to be proven wrong. so – to those who relate to contemporary science/math as “sheker”, “shtus”, etc. (you know who you are): please indicate the level of your formal scientific education, and/or whether you have studied (hard) science on a graduate level.
