Ep. 6 -Chazal and Science

Where did Chazal get their scientific knowledge from - the Torah itself, or contemporary scientists? And what happens when Chazal's understanding of science seems to conflict with modern scientific knowledge? In this episode, we'll explore the complex relationship between Torah and science. Using Talmudic sources, Rishonim, and more, we'll analyze whether Chazal claimed their scientific knowledge came from the Torah. We'll also examine what kind of science Chazal were talking about when they discussed scientific topics - was it the same as today's "natural sciences"? By learning Torah on its own terms, many apparent contradictions between Chazal and modern science dissolve away. Join us on a thought-provoking discussion that will challenge assumptions about Torah and science. There are no easy answers, but fascinating insights await. Hosted on Acast.
