Now you still haven’t addressed my point that the best way to ascertain if Chazal’s scientific statements were accurate in a scientific sense would be by looking at the proofs that support Chazal’s statements vs the Proofs supporting those of modern Scientists. If Chazal’s scientific statements are not scientifically accurate you are left with two choices:
Either
1.) Chazal didn’t intend to make a scientific statement but were hinting at some sort of “Sod”
Or
2.)Chazal where wrong.
Whichever the case is; ignoring or pretending that modern science is silly (as was the Derech of Rabbi Miller and most other mainstream Rabbonim for a long time) is a very, very difficult position. This is the main position that Rabbi Slifkin takes issue with.
