Mistakes Regarding the Number of Organs in the Human Body
Question
The Torah claims that there are 248 organs, 365 sinews, and that a pomegranate has 613 seeds.
That is not correct; it has been conclusively proven that all three of these claims are simply inventions with no basis whatsoever. Science refutes this sharply and clearly.
So how can it be that the book written by God is mistaken about such simple things as the number of bones in the human body? After all, God is the one who created man, isn’t He?
Answer
What is this nonsense? Where in the Torah did you see any of these things? Where in science did you see that they are not correct? Who said anything about bones? Are you sure you didn’t translate some ancient Chinese text here?
