We now begin to understand the source of skulls of ape-men discovered by paleontologists who describe them as “species” ancestral to man. The Sages tell us, we now recognize, not that men evolved from these quasi-apes, but, on the contrary, that the ape-men evolved from men.
From “Mysteries of the Creation” by Rabbi Dovid Brown. We are studying from the following pages: pg. 89–96.

There are two totally different levels of prophesy. One is that of every prophet other than Moshe, while the second was the unique level attained only by Moshe. Elokim Himself makes this distinction when he says (Numbers 12:6, 12), “If there be a prophet among you, I, Elokim, will make Myself known to him in a vision…Not so My prophet Moshe.” Every prophet other than Moshe would receive his propecy through a vision or dream, as it is written in the Torah. Elokim states, “I make Myself known to him through a vision, I speak to him in a dream.”
From the “RaMCHaL”–Derech HaShem–Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzatto. Page 239–243.

There are any number of like references. From the point of view of the earthly observer to whom the Torah is addressed the sun “rises,” “sets,” and “warms up”. So, too, though objectively the atmosphere, with its belts of water vapor and gases, circles the earth, from the point of view of one standing on earth the gases form a sack for the sun. Chazal describe the water vapor as a pool of water which dilutes the strength of the sun’s rays, that is, it screens out deadly radition. With this knowledge, we must assume that if, during ma’asa Brayshis, the earth was closer to the sun, the atmosphere must necessarily have been denser than it is now to screen out the greater emissions of ultraviolet. If so, we can readly imagine that the atmosphere was dense enough to refract the rays of light reflected from the earth around the globe. (I am informed that a five -fold increase in atmospheric sensity would accomplish this.) It would have acted, in effect, like a global mirror, in the center of whose interior the earth was suspended. A person at any spot on earth could any other places on the globe, as the Chachomim insist.

A prophet might fail to grasp the complete meaning of his prophecy as with Yonah. It is also possible that a truth be revealed to a prophet and he not ascertain its full meaning. This, for example, is what happened in the case of Yonah. In his prophecy, he was told, “Nineveh will be overturned (Yonah 3:4).” In I King 22:5, we read how the false prophets were “prophesying” in Achav’s presence. This means they were exerting themselves and doing things that normally would bring about a prophetic revelation. The vision they were seeking, however, was nothing more than an evil revelation.

When the Torah was given to Yisrael the noise travelled all around the world. All kings of the earth trembled in their palaces and sang praises to the power of Elokim. They all gathered to confer with Billom and asked, “What is this terrible noise we hear? Is Elokim again bringing a mabbul to destroy the world?” Billiom answered, “Do not worry, Elokim has sworn not to repeat the mabbul.” They countered, “Maybe He swore not to repeat a mabbul of water; perhaps He will bring a mabbul of fire.” Billom responded, “He has sworn that He will not again destroy His creatures.” The kings asked, “So what is this horrible noise?” Billom told them the secret; “Elokim has a precious treasure that He had stored for 974 generations prior to the creation. He is now giving it to His children.”

The psalmist (29:7) proclaims, “An ignorant man does’nt know, and a fool doesn’t understand.” An ignorant Jew is not a lost cause, for he may consult the sages and they will teach him Torah. However, a gentile, even a great scientist, is inevitably a fool, for he has no access to Torah and therefore cannot truly understand what he knows.
From “Mysteries of the Creation” by Rabbi Dovid Brown. We are studying from the following pages: pg. 73–78.
