DY: I was using chazal’s views on science as a comparison. chazal intimately knew the best scientific theories and knowledge of their dor from the goyim. However, as time progressed some of those ideas were proven wrong. That doesn’t mean chazal are liars or not to be trusted (chas v’sholom), it just means they were factually incorrect on issues of science. In no way does that make me respect them less,money were simply relying on the best astronomy, math, and earth sciences of their time.
In a similar vein, some of the information chazal used in establishing Halacha regarding women is based on goyish systems. For example, Hellenistic ideals of women and their role greatly influenced this halachic sphere. Just like science, when these ideas are abandoned or rejected, we have to rethink if those still apply today. This is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from objective halachic concepts that are straight from Moshe, and Hashem, rather than being based on goyim and their systems.
