Bridging the Divide: Science, Theology, and the Debate on Creation

Science and theology occupy different, although complementary, positions regarding evidence and faith. As Fedotov noted, faith encompasses those questions that cannot be subjected to standard scientific testing methods, while criticism, on the other hand, applies to claims related to sensory experience and historical facts. He writes that "faith concerns those matters that are not subject to the judgment of science," and everything that occurs "in space and time" can be examined both from the standpoint of faith and objective knowledge (source: 1267_6330.txt).

Ritual Over Numbers: The Theological Emphasis of Leviticus

The assertion that the authors of the Book of Leviticus “could not count” signifies that the text deliberately omits precise numerical data and detailed calculations—characteristics found, for example, in the Book of Numbers or other Mosaic texts. This does not so much indicate an inability to perform arithmetic but rather points to a deliberate choice to focus on describing rituals, sacrifices, and priestly duties, reflecting their priorities in presenting religious content.
