CS: ” I think it’s pretty clear that you don’t regard the Rebbe as a tzadik and pulling apart and responding to that post wouldn’t make a whit of a difference to you”
If you mean, your attempt to pull it apart and rebut, you are 100% correct, as your attempts in that area so far have not convinced any of the posters, including those who have dropped out.
“As far as “Lubavitchers believe what they want and don’t let the facts get in the way ” aside from the fact that sundials are not in use today etc and you don’t know the topography of the given place etc.”
You’re doing it again. Topography has NOTHING to do with it. The story is ridiculous and you are making yourself look even more ridiculous every time you try to justify it. Note, none of the other lubavichers in the forum have argued with me. They don’t understand the story, they probably wouldn’t like to admit that it’s fiction, so they just don’t say anything. But you keep going on about sundials being out of use and who knows what other garbage which just makes you appear really stupid. Sorry, but there isn’t any other word that expresses it correctly. By doing so you make not only yourself look stupid but lubavich too.
“Aside from that, yes science can and does err all the time. It is not absolute. Even by sciences standards everything is a certain percentage of likelihood and there is no 100%. Whereas Torah and Tzaddikim are 100% true.”
Yes. Science can and does err. But this story is fiction.
My advice: say something like, “You have a good point, and I can’t answer your question,” and leave it at that. Cut your losses.
