Our readingWhat is a korrent?
The eternity of the universe is unproven, and a merely plausible argument does not justify reading scripture figuratively
Drawn from what Moses Maimonides said
What Moses Maimonides actually said
- Moses Maimonides Jewish philosopher and physician (1138 to 1204)
But the Eternity of the Universe has not been proved; a mere argument in favour of a certain theory is not sufficient reason for rejecting the literal meaning of a Biblical text, and explaining it figuratively, when the opposite theory can be supported by an equally good argument.
