"Happygolucky and co will probably say something about how unreliable the science is compared to the Mesorah, or very begrudgingly, push back the dating of the mabul."
And postmodern Ash will say that reality is just an illusion so it's all cool, lets just go get high at Uman
Just like we interpret other aspects of the תורה שבכתב we can postulate that the world is millions of years old. Rav Kook stated that if the science is strong against the traditional understanding of the physical world you can reinterpret in line with the scientific evidence.
The kabbala says creation was a thousand years! This past Shabbat I attended a Chabad minyan and in the learning group I attended they were learning דבר מלכות of Chabad. The laws of buying a slave were suddenly about G-d's relationship to us as עבדים in contrast to the father son relationship. The theme was that G-d owns us like a man owns a slave. The slave' will is subordinate to his master. All this is interpretation far from it's simple meaning.Not that I accept it.

I remember when you guys were friends...
Hey man we still frens
I still agree with Happy when it comes to Natan's anti-chareidi bashing. I disagree when he attacks Natan's actual answers.
Ever read my "nature of spirituality changed after matan Torah" theory?
So far fetched. Just like how dinosaur bones were a plant to give us בחירה.
