re: #45 Obdicut

I think what Sergey is getting at is imagine that Jews weren’t around, and anthropologists had found the Talmud and the Torah. How would they interpret it?

Also, I had thought Sergey came from a Jewish background, but I might be wrong about that.

Fair enough, and I am saying that anthropologists attempting to do so would be stuck with numerous basic and fundamental questions they could never hope to answer or even hope to answer on matters of central importance. The entire point is that no, the written law, is not so plainly written that you get to ignore the oral law.
