Amnon Goldberg appears to be a sincere seeker of Truth. Heliocentrism is derived from ancient Avoda Zarah (sun worship). Globe/ball earthism is a GREEK idea, first attributed to Pythagoras, also rooted in Avoda Zarah - a "worship" of number and geometry. Modern scientism is a current version of this hermetic tradition. We have been living in Golus for nearly 2000 years and it seems that even some of our Torah has become polluted with GREEK ideas. We need to purify ourselves, especially our minds, and "unlearn" these foreign and false notions/concepts, (re)learn the deeper lessons of Chanuka and prepare for the Torah of Moshiach.TALMIDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02632274925718211925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11425059.post-81259732939396422342015-01-19T05:46:33.383-05:002015-01-19T05:46:33.383-05:00He was caught lying about the rambam in the englis...He was caught lying about the rambam in the english modea twice lately jan 14 2015Yosh55https://www.blogger.com/profile/13627334897718297633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11425059.post-30258004010328006722010-03-21T17:56:34.810-04:002010-03-21T17:56:34.810-04:00Seems that the fellow is still plugging the geocen...Seems that the fellow is still plugging the geocentric idea in the Jerusalem Post Magazine, & garnering support for it, afiloo!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11425059.post-48602558753272791232007-10-17T21:50:00.000-04:002007-10-17T21:50:00.000-04:00Well, if multidimensional universe theories are ri...Well, if multidimensional universe theories are right, then anywhere you go is the center of the universe.

But this is no problem if the entire universe is spinning in tandem because then it can all be maintained within one reference frame.Orthopraxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11649055168953784384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11425059.post-55461720486350848142007-10-10T18:21:00.000-04:002007-10-10T18:21:00.000-04:00I guess the Jewish Press was making amends for pri...I guess the Jewish Press was making amends for printing Amnon Goldberg's idiotic letter to begin with.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11425059.post-88807010087310577022007-10-10T15:03:00.000-04:002007-10-10T15:03:00.000-04:00Well Galileo never said it but "Eppur Si Muave".Well Galileo never said it but "<I>Eppur Si Muave</I>".Zach Kessinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04276155117746098546noreply@blogger.com
