Talmudic Debate
There once were two rabbis who could not agree, and one of them says,
"If I'm right, let a heavenly voice declare it!"
Sure enough, a voice thunders "He is right!".
But then the second Rabbi says, "It's written "'lo bashamaim hi', the Torah
is not in heaven, but with us. Therefore it our rule to interpret the law
ourselves, and not to look for signs or omens."
And the house of study agrees that is the rule, and decides the law in
accordance with the second Rabbi's viewpoint.
Then another heavenly voice is heard: "My children have defeated me at my
own game!"
