Taking into account the opinions of scientists regarding religious belief
Despite numerous correspondences with you, which have explained to me in a sufficiently understandable way the explanation for the existence of God and the giving of the Torah, etc., I find myself feeling deceived, as if I am lying to myself. After all, so many scientists and intellectuals believe that there is no God or that the giving of the Torah did not happen, and when I watch them, they seem to me much more convincing and even more confident in themselves than many recanters. I know that this is not a well-founded claim, but considering that common sense would not allow me to think that the giving of the Torah was indeed an event that occurred, and dozens, if not hundreds, of educated professors and scientists even justify this line of thought, I do find it disturbing. Is the rabbi the only person who managed to think correctly? Or are there perhaps a few more doctors and professors who believe in Judaism like me hiding from me?
I am fundamentally opposed to ad hominem arguments (a lot of scientists think this and that. Or a lot of rabbis think this and that). There are a lot of rabbis and a lot of scientists who think a lot of things. Should I slow down because I’m a peddler and I’ll hire them? You should formulate a position yourself, and not get excited by the fact that there are many who think differently. It is worth taking seriously any position that seems well-founded to you, and examining arguments that arise for and against, but the bottom line is that you don’t have your own decision.
