	JewishEncyclopedia.com - SAADIA B. JOSEPH (Sa'id al-Fayyumi): (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Saadia's enemies spread malicious stories, which probably had no basis in fact, regarding his origin; and both Ben Meïr and the pamphlets referring to the controversy of Saadia with the exilarch allude to the low calling followed by his father, and speak of his parent as a non-Jew.
		Saadia was attacked by the exilarch and by his chief adherent, the young but learned Aaron ibn Sargado, in Hebrew pamphlets, fragments of which show a degree of hatred on the part of the exilarch and his partizans that did not shrink from scandal.
		In regard to Saadia's responsa and the specimens of his halakic decisions and interpretations which have been preserved, Müller, their collector, says: "As in his other writings, Saadia is fond of stating the number of possibilities which may arise in connection with a given subject.

	Jewish Calendar Postponement Controversy in 921 C.E.
		To the charges of the Geonim and of Saadia he replied in a disrespectful and aggressive tone, denying their authority in matters of the calendar, which, he claimed, should be left, as in former times, in the hands of Palestinian scholars.
		Saadia again addressed a letter to his pupils in Egypt, and probably also to various communities elsewhere imploring them to remain steadfast and to abide by the regulations of the Geonim.
		Saadia retaliates by adorning Ben Meir with the epithets "the obscurantist," and "the accursed one," both in satiric allusion to the name "Meir".

		Saadia mentions the story from Hagigah regarding the fight between the houses of Hillel and Shammai over whether the heaven or the earth was created first, and how the matter was finally resolved by those who maintained that they were both created instantaneously.
		Saadia also rejects the third method which asserts that we should not investigate the creation as it is beyond human understanding.

	Jewish Education at the Lookstein Center - Faith and Doubt
		Now it seems to me that this summary of Saadia's position is accurate, until and not including the crucial final sentence, which draws the inference that "Saadia approves of methodological doubt." It is true that Saadia describes the process of learning as a process in which one rids oneself of doubts.
		Similarly, in Saadia's discussion of the causes of doubt, which sets the stage for his characterization of learning as riddance of doubt, it is quite clear that his intention is to discuss causes of real, substantive doubt.
		Indeed, this is Saadia's conception of da'at ha-Shem, and for Saadia it is a religious obligation or mitzva to pursue this goal.
