    The rabbi confused me with his logic. He says the way to read the old testament is to look at the stuff proven to be wrong as symbolic but the stuff yet to be proven wrong as literal. It should be symbolic until proven literal right?

      It’s that the Torah has room to be interpreted in more non-literal manners *if* and only *if* significant scientific evidence says otherwise. This idea itself is even controversial and it’s very nuanced and a case by case thing.

    • @dewiwilliams4821
      @dewiwilliams4821 Місяць тому +2

      @User-h3n7x no nuance there, you are saying the same thing. If proven false, take not literal interpretation. Should be non literal until proven literal. I stand by that and don't submit to sophistry.

      @@dewiwilliams4821 No- it shouldn’t be the case. It should be taken as literal until shown otherwise in someway. A plain reading of the text makes it literal and a perusing of rabbinic sources would should you that most (some don’t) take it literally. The reason you should take it literally until given reason not to is because the text is given as literal with the caveat that if philosophical truths or scientific proofs contradict it, it can be reinterpreted in light of them. This idea is controversially expressed by Maimonides when he’s talking about whether the universe is eternal or not. This makes much sense if you think about it, and what you’re saying doesn’t make any sense. Just because certain things (this principle is pretty much just applied to Genesis) can be reinterpreted based on contradictory proof doesn’t mean that you can just assume it’s 𝐚𝐥𝐥 non-literal. The text is given as literal.
      Now I don’t actually hold of this idea, but I do disagree that it should be the opposite, like you said. Especially when the 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐞 is only formulated this way.

I think both sides realise they may learn something from the other, and both sides have the humility to respect someone with different views. That’s actually quite hard to do, as it requires, intelligence, maturity, and humility. No one has the right to change another’s mind, that is just arrogance. It’s up to each individual to search for the truth, and these two men can help a wide range of people to do that.

    This particular Rabbi is a master of deflection, goalpost moving, false analogies, burden-shifting, circular reasoning and unsubstantiated assertions. I didn’t hear him make a single argument - and I’m being generous in using that word - that couldn’t be easily debunked. Thus his relentless condescension, frequent interruptions and impugning of motive. The muddier the field, the more difficult it is to evaluate what’s happening.

      {Then when the boy reached the age to work with him, Abraham said, “O my dear son, I have seen in a dream that I sacrifice you. So tell me what you think.” He replied, “O my dear father, Do as you are commanded. God willing, you will find me steadfast.”
      Then when they submitted, and Abraham laid him on the side of his forehead,
      We called out to him, “O Abraham,
      You have already fulfilled the vision.” Indeed, this is how We reward the good-doers.
      That was truly a revealing test.
      And We ransomed his son with a great sacrifice
      and blessed Abraham among later generations.
      Peace be upon Abraham.
      This is how We reward the good-doers.
      He was truly one of Our faithful servants.
      We gave him good news of Isaac, a prophet, and one of the righteous.
      We blessed him, and Isaac as well. Some of their descendants did good, while others clearly wronged themselves.}

      {Have they not realized that God, Who created the heavens and the earth, can re-create them? He has set for them a time, about which there is no doubt. But the wrongdoers persist in denial.
      Say, “Even if you were to possess the treasuries of my Lord’s mercy, then you would certainly withhold, fearing they would run out, for humankind is ever stingy.”
      We surely gave Moses nine clear signs. Ask the Children of Israel. When Moses came to them, Pharaoh said to him, “I really think that you, O Moses, is bewitched.”
      Moses replied, “You know well that none has sent these down except the Lord of the heavens and the earth as insights. And I really think that you, O Pharaoh, is doomed.”
      So Pharaoh wanted to scare the Israelites out of the land, but We drowned him and all of those with him.
      And We said to the Children of Israel after Pharaoh, “Reside in the land, but when the promise of the Hereafter comes to pass, We will bring you all together.”}

      ‏Anthony Flew is considered one of the most prominent atheists, so he retracted his atheism and ،told us that the universe has a deity with modern scientific evidence, not with thought or dreams and feeling, but after science and modern discoveries about the existence of a Creator. He fell into another problem that the Creator wanted according to his mood
      ‏ He wanted the Creator to be neither speaking nor hearing, and creating creation in vain
      ‏But it is logical that this Creator sends a messenger to teach us who he is. And we have to verify the authenticity of the Messenger and what this Messenger calls to?
      ‏ It transports sperm from the liquid state to the eyes, heart, blood, arteries, and bones. Unconscious nature creates a conscious human being. Then this nature teaches about the importance of the heart and lung, then puts the rib cage, then oxygen, then water, there is sexual desire, and there are the genitals to complete the male and female sexual process. , What coincidence are you talking about, a coincidence that creates the male and the female. All of these are called verses and there are things that complement each other, there is a lung and there is air and there are teeth and stomach and in food and other things and we say that it has no creator!!!
      ‏ The only question God will ask you is
      ‏ focus on it
      ‏ ((He said: Did you deny My verses and did not encompass them in knowledge, or what did you do?))
      ‏ I mean, God Almighty tells you what I told you is a lie and you cannot realize it or understand it
      ‏ And what in the world have you been doing?
      ‏ Do you know what your answer is?
      ‏ ((The decree will befall them for what they did wrong, and they will not be able to speak.
      ‏ If you find yourself in the world without a choice in a great reality we live in, and you go without a choice and a question is the most important
      ‏ If your destiny is fire, has God wronged you???ًً
      ‏Muhammad, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, is a prophet from the Creator, and before him many prophets did not lie or deceive, and he is the only religion that commands you to worship one Creator who created everything.
      ‏First of all, you should know that the religion of all prophets is the worship of one Creator who created everything. Islam today is the only religion that commands you to worship one Creator and not idols, illusions, conjecture or a number of gods. But how do we know that the speech is from God and not from Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace? . These are some of the things that comfort your heart and believe that this is a prophet and many of the prophets before him
      ‏ The Almighty said: (Moreover He comprehended in His design the sky, and it had been (as) smoke)
      ‏ The smoke confirms that the origin of this universe is inflamed. It is not a lake of water, as was the perception of all philosophies and religions that are based on illusion. This is one of the postulates of modern science today that the sky is condensation of smoke. This fact converted the French scientist Maurice to Islam and wrote a book entitled the Holy Qur’an on the scale of modern science
      ‏How did Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, know this fact before?
      ‏ The Almighty says: ((And the heaven We constructed))
      ‏ The sky is a building, not a vacuum as it was thought, and this was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2017 that proved it
      ‏How did Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, know this fact before?
      ‏The Almighty’s saying: ((And the heaven We constructed with strength, and indeed, We are [its] expander.
      )).
      ‏ That is, the sky expands with time. This fact, even in the time of Einstein, was not imagined by anyone and it was proven. And Einstein admitted it and admitted that it was the biggest scientific mistake he made in his life if he believed that the sky was fixed. The Qur’an before Einstein says that the sky expands
      ‏fact

If an ex Jew wrote that instead of Dawkins, you wouldn’t have said that. With that line of thinking, any criticism of the old testament could be labelled as antisemitic to stifle debate and discussion.

      This is why we can only judge people on ACT, and not abstract moral laws. I think his point was, children are taught to judge others as being 'different' through abstract moral beliefs. Children understand truth at sight, they do not require lessons on morality - this is why religion is wrong, because it teaches a moral law, which always results in judging others and condemning those who are 'immoral' in their eyes.

      This video perfectly demonstrates how easily people can be manipulated through vague, false and damaging claims or beliefs. Also it perfectly demonstrates how hard and sometimes dangerous it can be to try to expose such manipulative behaviour, because the offender wraps their nonsensical arguments in powerful sensations like hope and both positive and negative emotion. Questioning or challenging the authority or the authenticity of the offenders claims and beliefs may also be simply rejected by claiming the challenger is some sort of a human hater or evil (talking about blasphemy, or perfectly demonstrated in this video; to be accused of being antisemitic).

    Dawkins is DEFINITELY not antisemitic. Antisemitism is hatred towards the Jewish PEOPLE, not the Jewish God; Yahweh isn't Semite.
    Also, most Israelis read the Bible in that "Christian way" - the Binding of Isaac as a call for absolute obedience to God. Indeed, there are Jewish commentaries that suggest a different interpretation to that story - but so are some Christian commentaries. There is no singular "Jewish" nor "Christian" reading of the Bible; each have multiple denominations and styles. Rabbi Sacks simply picks those commentaries that will make Judaism look better for western audience. All this talks can be characterised by the Yiddish phrase האקן א טשייניג - talks that are meaningless like a knock on a pot.

    It is one thing to argue against God's existence; it is quite another thing to argue against a systematic religion. All of Prof. Dawkins' arguments in this debate are anti-religious arguments dressed as anti-theistic arguments. That is a fallacious extrapolation. Even if all systematic religions can be proven to be false, none of those proofs would amount to an argument against God's existence. One can argue against this or that religion, or, case in point, all of them, only if one has an argument against God's existence. Otherwise, all such arguments are moot. As far as I know, neither Prof. Dawkins has an anti-theistic argument, nor did he ever attempt one. And that is the reason, I think, behind his dogged refusal to debate Prof. William Craig, who has a series of deistic arguments, warts and all. Not, as Prof. Dawkins once put it, "because he [Prof. Craig] is a professional debater."

    What we should all remember, as a foundation for this debate, is that Aristotle’s physics, with its teleological principle, held back the advancement of empirical and mathematical physics for perhaps 1,700 years. His physics were absolutely convincing and were held as dogma by Church theologians, but it turns out they were simply wrong. This goes to support Dawkins’ first statement that the question of “why” should be left out of hard science.

    • @ryanashfyre464
      @ryanashfyre464 Рік тому

      One cannot ever leave the "why" out of hard science - and, whether he realizes it or not, Dawkins doesn't either.
      The "why" is the fundamental question as to why anything is the way it is at all. It's the fundamental principle, the granting of that which can't be explained behind *any* scientific theory. In the entire history of science, there is not one single exception to this. None whatsoever.
      For Dawkins it's the presumption that spacetime itself is fundamental and that what we refer to as "physical objects" actually exist whether they're observed or not. FWIW, modern science has *deeply* troubling results for Dawkins that not only threaten, but clearly cut out the legs behind both his presumptions, but that's another beast entirely.
      For a theist it's that there is an intelligent mind behind the clearly defined and rule-based system of that which we call physical reality. That mind cannot be explained - only that it exists as the one granted miracle that explains everything else as a result.

This is one of the postulates of modern science today that the sky is condensation of smoke. This fact converted the French scientist Maurice to Islam and wrote a book entitled the Holy Qur’an on the scale of modern science

      ‏ The verse of the night is the moon and the verse of the day is the sun. The Qur'an tells that the sun and the moon were fiery masses. That is, the moon was a fiery mass and was erased, and the verse of the day remained visible to the eyes. Was the moon a fiery mass and extinguished? This is one of the biggest scientific issues discovered about the moon.

And the infidels of Quraish had previously accused our master Muhammad, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, of madness, and it is likely that their joy was overwhelming when this verse was revealed.

    3:22 “science can tell us about the origin of life…” (and religion can tell us about the purpose) Rabbi Sacks says. But recently i’ve found scientist/philosopher Bernardo Kastrup interesting. he says science tell us what nature *does and philosophy (or religion i suppose) can develop or decipher a meaning or purpose to life, or tell us what nature *is. my point being that my understanding is that exactly how life originated is likely out of the realm of science, and perhaps can be dealt with by philosophy or religion.
    it’s like science can’t exactly pinpoint the moment of the big bang, but have pretty good scientific ideas on what things were like just prior to the actual moment - which, btw, it seems more and more (theoretical physicists etc.) are now thinking in terms of the big bang as not being “the beginning” of everything.

      The Big Bang Theory makes no claims as to the origins or the cause of the universe, and anyone who says that argues that it does is strawmanning. It only outlines that the universe was at one point, concentrated in one location and them expanded rapidly. Science may never be able to demonstrate why it occurred, or what existed before (as time did not exist until just after the initial expansion). However, religion and philosophy provide NO mechanism to determine the same, and therefore CANNOT even begin to provide justified answers to these questions. They can speculate, but that in no way rationalises belief. The correct answer, therefore, is 'we don't know."

      ‏foods, the tongue that tastes, the teeth that grind, the stomach that digests, the excretion of waste from the body, oxygen, the lungs, the eyes, the sexual desire and many other things, this does not indicate anything. Are you 100% sure of not having a creator?
      ‏ Rivers and seas and the creatures in them and the rain that sows the earth beyond
      ‏ It is very with lots of fruits
      ‏ Nothing creates something
      ‏Are you 100% sure of not having a creator?
      ‏Go and see what religion commands you to worship. One Creator created everything, no three, no more, no less, but one. Go and see for yourself, you will find only one religion
      But I will remind you of something you may have forgotten. And I want you to think about it. You are here in this world against your will. Just think a little bit that you are not here. By your own choice. You are here by choice.Choose to be here.He is one and you will go. See who commands you to worship one Creator, and you will find one religion, which is the religion of the prophets, and that is Islam. The matter is not easy, the matter is great in this existence, because whoever is able to bring you into this world against your will, after death, will either find you in grace and beauty that you have not seen, or torment and fear. which you have not seen.
      ‏Muhammad, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, is a prophet from the Creator, and before him many prophets did not lie or deceive, and he is the only religion that commands you to worship one Creator who created everything.
      ‏First of all, you should know that the religion of all prophets is the worship of one Creator who created everything. Islam today is the only religion that commands you to worship one Creator and not idols, illusions, conjecture or a number of gods. But how do we know that the speech is from God and not from Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace? . These are some of the things that comfort your heart and believe that this is a prophet and many of the prophets before him
      This evidence appears generation after generation. The generation that lived with the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, witnessed miracles, and I collected for you what this generation has. in which we live
      ‏ The Almighty said: (Moreover He comprehended in His design the sky, and it had been (as) smoke)
      ‏ The smoke confirms that the origin of this universe is inflamed. It is not a lake of water, as was the perception of all philosophies and religions that are based on illusion. This is one of the postulates of modern science today that the sky is condensation of smoke. This fact converted the French scientist Maurice to Islam and wrote a book entitled the Holy Qur’an on the scale of modern science
      ‏How did Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, know this fact before?
      ‏ The Almighty says: ((And the heaven We constructed))
      ‏ The sky is a building, not a vacuum as it was thought, and this was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2017 that proved it
      ‏How did Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, know this fact before?
      ‏The Almighty’s saying: ((And the heaven We constructed with strength, and indeed, We are [its] expander.
      )).
      ‏ That is, the sky expands with time. This fact, even in the time of Einstein, was not imagined by anyone and it was proven. And Einstein admitted it and admitted that it was the biggest scientific mistake he made in his life if he believed that the sky was fixed. The Qur’an before Einstein says that the sky expands
      ‏fact
      ‏ Almighty’s saying: :((And We have made the night and day two signs, and We erased the sign of the night and made the sign of the day visible that you may seek bounty from your Lord and may know the number of years and the account [of time]. And everything We have set out in detail.
      )).
      ‏ The verse of the night is the moon and the verse of the day is the sun. The Qur'an tells that the sun and the moon were fiery masses. That is, the moon was a fiery mass and was erased, and the verse of the day remained visible to the eyes. Was the moon a fiery mass and extinguished? This is one of the biggest scientific issues discovered about the moon. The moon was already a fiery mass, and NASA issued on its official website a conceptual clip entitled The Evolution of the Moon in the video. In fact, the moon was a fiery mass like the sun, and this is what the Qur’an told about and the truth of modern science.
      ‏How did Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, know this fact before?
      ‏Almighty’s saying
      ‏And you see the mountains thinking that they are rigid, while you will cross as the passage of clouds. [It is] the work of God who has perfected everything. In fact, he knows what you're doing.))
      ‏ And the verse clearly spoke of a strange phenomenon, which is that the viewer of the mountains appears to him still, that is, they are still, but in fact they are not like that, rather they are in a state of constant movement. And the infidels of Quraish had previously accused our master Muhammad, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, of madness, and it is likely that their joy was overwhelming when this verse was revealed.
      ‏ They also found in it, according to their claim, evidence of this madness, and they told the people: How can you believe this man who says that these fixed mountains move like clouds moving in the sky!
      ‏ And today it is proven that the earth rotates, and with it the mountains, how did Muhammad know that and why is he telling you instead of the matter that makes people consider him crazy? The matter was not from him, but from God.
      .
      Almighty’s saying
      ‏Those whom Allah (in His plan) willeth to guide,- He openeth their breast to Islam; those whom He willeth to leave straying,- He maketh their breast close and constricted, as if they had to climb up to the skies: thus doth Allah (heap) the penalty on those who refuse to believe)).
      ‏After man was able to reach the sky by flying by modern means of transportation, he knew that the higher up in the air, the less oxygen and atmospheric pressure, which causes severe tightness in the chests and the process of breathing. :
      ‏How did Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, know this fact before? It was not from him, but from God
      Almighty’s saying
      ‏Or (the Unbelievers' state) is like the depths of darkness in a vast deep ocean, overwhelmed with billow topped by billow, topped by (dark) clouds: depths of darkness, one above another: if a man stretches out his hands, he can hardly see it! for any to whom Allah giveth not light, there is no light!
      ‏Modern sciences have revealed that in the bottom of the deep seas with abundant water - the deep sea - there is great darkness, to the extent that living creatures live in this darkness without visual tools, but live using their other senses such as hearing.
      ‏These dark darknesses are not found in the sea water that surrounds the Arabian Peninsula, but rather they have been discovered in the oceans far from it
      ‏This verse shows another aspect of the Qur’anic miracle, which is that the sea wave that all people only knew was one wave in the seas
      ‏The verse says there is another wave in the depths of the sea, and divers discovered at the beginning of the twentieth century a fact that was hidden in the depths of the sea, that fact that shows another wave that throws divers into it as it is thrown at swimmers, and this wave was discovered by Scandinavian divers.
      .I will tell you what the Prophet said. The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: One day the Bedouins who live in the desert will build tall towers, and this is my duty. Go and see where the
      tallest buildings are and who owns them.
      ‏God Almighty: ((We will show them Our signs in the horizons and within themselves until it becomes clear to them that it is the truth. But is it not sufficient concerning your Lord that He is, over all things, a Witness?)
      And God informed the Qur’an of this by saying: “Did you think that we created you without a purpose and that you would never return to us?”
      ‏All these and other matters that I have not mentioned indicate that this is a prophet from God..More important than that, as I told you, is the only religion that commands you to worship one Creator, who created everything and before him many prophets
      ‏Say, if you wish, there is no god but God, and that Muhammad is the Messenger of God
      ‏ speak from the heart

      The movement responsible for bringing the modern state of Israel into existence was secular (as were the bulk of the people who built and ran the state). Many of the founding fathers identified themselves as atheists: Theodore Herzl, Ben Gurion, Chaim Weizmann, Golda Meir, Moshe Dayan. Even Ze'ev Jabotinsky, the ideological predecessor of the Likud, was an agnostic. As was Ariel Sharon, Yitzhak Rabin, etc.
      In other words, Israel's actions say as much about Judaism as the Khmer Rouge's about Buddhism or modern Cuba about Catholicism.
      But even if that weren't the case, it would still be a bad argument. Do the actions of Myanmar say something fundamental about Buddhism? How about what happened to the Dzungars or the history of the Mongols? Do the innumerable misdeeds of the Eastern Bloc or China say something about atheism?
