ben levi: not really. He emphatically describes 3 types of people, 2 of them in a negative light. Namely, people who take things literally and those who won’t believe anything bc it makes no sense.

It would be interesting to note that the Soforno writes in bereshis concerning the creation of adam that HaShem did not wave a wand and poof adam was there but He took a creature already created and made it be’tzelem Elokim.
Instead of denying any modern science, jews should be proud that our rishonim knew things only recently discovered by scientists.
