Thanks for the reference - it's very important to me
But correct me if I'm wrong - the rabbi said that in the past, people in science would believe, etc. But if I'm not mistaken - since always those “sages” were first and foremost religious people - priests and the like, and some were also people of science. Today the world comes from a neutral platform so…
And besides - the fact that a hundred years ago science was completely different from today's science doesn't change anything? (It's true that this has nothing to do with the matter of “thinking outside the limits” but…)
This was not the fashion. They would have boycotted you or executed you. Should I remind you of Spinoza? Or of Giordano Bruno? Furthermore, the science of their time is ignorant of the science of our time. They had gaps and they threw them at belief in God. As for the percentages he talks about, he is not talking out of thin air and making them up, and it is known from those studies that the intelligence of believers is lower than that of non-believers. What is your explanation for this? (By the way, according to those percentages, you are less than the percentage of philosophers who believe).
The sweeping rejection of the argument in the video rivals the level of the video itself with great respect.
I only saw the beginning and not the rest, but at the beginning he said that the question in the survey was about personal prayer, and not necessarily faith in God. (For example, Einstein could be a dog who believes in God but will not accept personal prayer)
If so, it may not reflect at all on the type of question you are asking here…
We were the same. Einstein didn't believe in God, he was an atheist who played with the semantics of the word 'God' like Spinoza.
“The doctorate here is a good representation, because the doctorate is a measure of your ability to think independently of the thoughts of your predecessors” (from the video). Da?!
If this is such a level of claims, I agree with Rabbi Michi…
with*
A. It is very unclear.
Anyway, I think you still haven't understood the difficult problem with the video that doesn't reflect anything….
And I didn't want to write it explicitly here, but there are several important people here on the site who believe in both God and the Torah and probably also in the main ”Thirteen. But in a survey they will be revealed as atheists…
Interesting - can it be expanded?
Let's also say that the numbers he throws up are probably not only exaggerated but also unfounded.
Tzachi, you are welcome to take a look here:

I am returning here to my statement that Einstein was an atheist. When asked if he was a pantheist, he replied: ‘I am not an atheist. I do not know if I can define myself as a pantheist.’ To get a fuller perspective, you need to read the book ‘Einstein and Religion,’ I have not read it yet.
