Rabbi Yaron Reuven proves the Torah is
Divine by a fish? What's worse he lies by claiming the Torah says, "you'll
find a fish with just fins, but you'll never find a fish with just
scales". A blatant lie by the rabbi, no such saying is found anywhere in
the Torah, if so maybe the rabbi can show us. Why didn't the rabbi quote the
chapter and verse or even the book? Interestingly, this saying is found in the
Talmud, which the rabbis takes as the Torah.
We learned in a mishna elsewhere (Nidda
51b): Any fish that has scales certainly has fins, but there are fish that have
fins and do not have scales. Any fish that has scales and fins is a kosher
fish. If it has fins but no scales, it is a non-kosher fish. (Talmud
Chullin 66b)
If this is the way to prove the Torah by lying,
then well done. Rabbis used the Oral Law to prove the Torah? We'll ignore the
first part about kosher, which really took the biscuit.
Even if we take the rabbis Talmudic saying
as proof, does it really stand the test? The answer is no.
Okay so a fish is a limbless cold-blooded
vertebrate animal with gills and fins and living wholly in water. So, saying
you will never find a fish without fins is contradicting the definition of a
fish. There are plenty of fish without scales, but none without fins, why?
Because that's the sole definition of a fish. So next time a rabbi uses this as
proof, ask him this. What is a fish? If a fish is still considered a fish even
when it doesn't have fins, then whats a fish? If a "fish" is animal
that lives in the ocean than I can give you hundreds with scales and no fins.
what a joke!
