Criticism of the scientific approach today – Rupert Sheldrake
Good evening Rabbi Michi,
I recently came across several lectures by Rupert Sheldrake on the fixation of the scientific concept among most scientists in the world today and their inability to be open-minded. I am interested to hear what the Rabbi thinks about this claim in general? (Based on the Rabbi’s familiarity with the scientific world…)
In addition, I am specifically interested in what the rabbi thinks about the theory of ‘morphic resonance’ as well as the studies he claims to have conducted that point to intangible/materialistic human communication? (For example, a study on four people who randomly call an acquaintance who is in a closed room and who has to guess who called them before answering the phone, and according to his claim, in a number of such experiments he was able to get it right in the region of 40 percent, not 25 percent as would be expected according to a simple materialistic understanding).
How does the rabbi respond to these claims? Does he accept them or doubt their credibility? Or does the rabbi believe there are other explanations for these phenomena?
Thank you very much, Eden.
