re: #96 Learned Mother of Zion

Rambam also gave a lot of medical advice (he was a physician, after all!) much of which has been proven incorrect, but which was accurate according to the scientific knowledge at that time.

Rambam acknowledged that if there was a contradiction between Torah and science, then either Torah was misunderstood or science was not correctly understood. If the science was established and proven correct, then go back and study Torah because you are not understanding it correctly!

I agree and why I find him so forward thinking for his time on matters of science.

I often wonder what he would feel today and if he would be part of the more Modern Orthodox movement today.
