Reply To: Is studying God's world a waste of time?

I don’t think many people would argue with that. But I was shocked to see some people say studying science is bitul torah. Another issue that could arise is the contradictions that arise between science and Chazal. chazal thought lice spontaneously generate, eating rotted fish was healthy, and the sun travels under a firmament at night, etc. But i doubt this would be much of a problem, seeing as the rishonim cover it from almost all angles.
