[Avodah] length of solar year

[Eli Turkel]

<<I also don't understand Rabbi Bleich's assertion that Shmuel's and Rav
: Adda's calendars were given to Moshe Rabbeinu at Har Sinai, and that
: therefore any claim that they were not aware of the true length of the
: solar year is kefirah. While it is true that the Gemara says that some
: shiurim were given at Sinai, there is no reason to include these and
: every reason to believe that Shmuel believed his calendar to be accurate.>>
:
It is actually the CI who first made the statement that they are from Sinai
and that not believeing it is kefirah.
:
: However, I agree that it is strange. Shmuel 365 1/4 is obviously based
: on rounding to make nice numbers and is identical with the Julian calendar.
R. Ada (not mentioned in the gemara) is based to guarantee a 19 year cycle.
Neither are accurate.
Why would Sinai give us 2 distinct shiurim for the same event neither correct.
It seems to be an attitude that anything in the Gemara is true whether it
agrees with science or not
