Resurrection

שו”תCategory: faithResurrection
asked 6 years ago

Hello Rabbi,
I wanted to ask, following the advancement of science, in the distant (near?) future it may be possible to resurrect the dead. Does belief in the resurrection of the dead refer to a place of miraculous resurrection only? Or is there reason to believe that the resurrection of the dead will come naturally (advancement of science)?
thanks

Definitely possible. I once thought that even the mitzvot of the future could be created scientifically. When meat, milk, pork, and other foods are produced in a laboratory, all food prohibitions will be abolished from the world, and in the same way, we will activate things in our minds and the prohibitions of work on Shabbat will be abolished, and so on.

Also regarding the days of the Messiah, see Rambam”s description (end of the Book of Judges): And when the time comes, there will be no famine, no war, no envy, no rivalry, for the good will be abundant, and all the minerals will be as fine as dust, and the whole world will have no business except to know the Lord alone. And in your sight they will be great wise men, and will know deep and hidden things, and will attain the knowledge of their Creator with the power of man, as it is said: “For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea” (Isaiah 11:9).
We can intuitively see how working hours are decreasing thanks to technological improvements.

I guess it was written ironically.

Did you once think that - and now you don't (regarding mitzvot that are invalidated by science)?

מיכי replied 6 years ago

It once occurred to me and remains a possibility until now.
