In general, it is an important rule in the clash of opinions that we need not at the outset negate every opinion that seems to contradict something in the Torah. Rather, we must construct the palace of the Torah above it, thereby using it to elevate ourselves. On account of this elevation, the opinions are clearly revealed. Afterward, when we are not pressured by anything, we can do battle against it with a heart full of confidence.
-Rav Kook, Iggerot, 134
