I don’t understand why it’s so necessary to prove that Chazal understood all science and can not be wrong. I had once asked these question, but I don’t believe they were ever answered.
1. How come all of the major scientific discoveries and inventions of the past
4 centuries been made by either goyim or non-religious Jews and why is there
no mention of them in any any of the commentaries?
2. Why didn’t Chazal use their knowledge of how disease is transmited by parasites
to prevent Jews from dying in the Black Plague or their knowledge of the
atom or gunpowder to stop the slaughter of Jews during pogroms?
