Radak (Shmuel 1 28:24) The act of necromancy is nonsense, lies, and ridiculous…the story of Samuel and Saul never was real, and Samuel never rose from his grave. The woman did it all through trickery…" This is the commentary of the gaon Rav Shmuel the son of Chofni, and he said this even though it can be implied from the words of the sages in the Gemara that the woman truly did revive Samuel. He did not accept what was written there, for there are those who use reason to deny it.”
There are a few solutions to this.
ReplyDelete1. In Tanakh times there were such powers, along with nevuah.
In rishonim era it's gone.
2. Tanakh is speaking about what appeared to them, but the explanation might be different.
Rambam says all miracles can be explained scientifically.
