| Feb 4, 2014 at 2:51 | comment | added | msh210♦ | No, no, @DoubleAA, "nishtane hateva" itself doesn't imply one way or the other. But this is an answer: it says Rabbi Yosef said "we should never chose what science says over Hazal". | |
| Feb 4, 2014 at 2:50 | comment | added | Double AA♦ | @msh210 so...it isn't really an answer... | |
| Feb 4, 2014 at 2:50 | comment | added | msh210♦ | @DoubleAA right. | |
| Feb 4, 2014 at 2:49 | comment | added | Double AA♦ | @msh210 it doesn't say we shouldn't either... | |
| Feb 4, 2014 at 2:49 | comment | added | msh210♦ | Right, @DoubleAA, but it doesn't say we should accept what science says for practical halachic purposes over what chazal do. Anyway, hachamgabriel, can you cite where he says this more precisely? | |
| Feb 4, 2014 at 2:48 | comment | added | Double AA♦ | Indeed that reason says that currently chazal are not right and science is. In any event, sourcing any of this would be invaluable. | |
| Feb 4, 2014 at 1:28 | comment | added | Isaac Moses♦ | "Nature changed," by itself, would seem to be a good reason to make new rulings that apply Halacha to the new laws of nature. | |
