| Sorry, just now saw your comment, and sorry for mistaking you for the submitter. My comment is indeed badly written. But if you go over the further comments the submitter made, it should become clear what bothered me. So, for clarity (and not trying to be politically correct, but just say what I think is true): there is the unfortunate tendency among today's jews, seeing their success to bring US to fight on their behalf for their interests, to see in that a proof of them to be the Chosen People - in a very concrete and materialistic way. One of the conflicts that such point of view generates, is conflict with history: in no way scientific thinking came from Judeah, it came of course from Greece ("but how can this be? It must have been the Chosen People who invented science! Look at all these Nobel laureates!"). And the revival of the Greek thought happened with the Italian Rinascimento, and from this came Tyho Brahe, Copernicus, Kepler and so many others. While the jews were always closed within themselves (it is not true that it was only goyim who wanted them to be in ghettos, they themselves did not want very much to go out..).
And did not start to occupy themselves seriously with science at least until the Enlightenment.. and these were not rabbis. It is not the first time I see my conationals trying to prove that it is false. One could have just laughed at this, were it not that these people are so determined in their efforts. Really, just read the submitter comments.. |
