This honestly isn;t a dig on your intelligence, it's just that being smart or doing well at school doesn't do anything to prevent you from having dissonant views. Does it help any of those other religious people, who are demonstrably wrong, with their mistaken religious views? No, no it does not.
Quote:(I had to Google "transubstantiation.")
Judaism doesn't oppose science and science doesn't oppose Judaism. That's the position Jews take, so studying science presents no theological problem that I have to work around. When we perceive a conflict between science and religion, we can simply reevaluate. We're allowed to do that because we're Jews, not Christians. We don't play by the same set of rules that they play by. -But even if I was a member of a literalist religion, I could still be a scientist because I could still choose to compartmentalize my two worlds. I've yet to write "G-d did it," in the answer field of an exam, and there are people of other religions that I study with, and I've never known them to write that answer down either.
In fact, religion never even comes up in conversation in my science world, even though I know there are Christians, Muslims and Hindus in my classes.
OFC judaism is at odds with science.............................it;s pretty much the main actor in being at odds with science.....? I'll be honest, I expected something more exotic.......
Is judaism -not- the religion founded upon the fictional narrative that christians call the OT? Expanded, to include yet more fiction -not- explicitly contained within christendom....omitting the newish partys/...of the testament, which are decidedly christian and decidedly other-than-jewish?
(@ googling transub - didn't learn a thing, did you....... it's fucking gibberish, eh...lol. They may as well have said nothing - would have worked out better.)
