An inkling of Chazal’s greatness is actually written by the Rambam in Shmoneh Prukim L’Harambam.
The Rambam was the Sultans personal physician so one would think that he was pretty knowledgeable in medical matters.
He writes regarding Chazal’s Aggadata that there are three groups of people and the one’s that he calls “fools” are those that say that Chazal only knew the science of their times.
The Rambam writes that anyone who know’s science and is familiar with Chazal’s teachings can see plainly that they knew far more regarding science then anyone else at their time.
