Private supervision on the TV show “See You Later”
There is a program on Channel 11 about restoring connections between families that have been cut off due to the return of one of the family members. (As usual on TV, the program is quite distorted, but nevertheless funny.) The program is called “We’ll Meet Again.”
A link is attached in episode 4, minute 11.
There is a rare coincidence story that, in my opinion, has no logical statistical plausibility.
The ultra-Orthodox man who is attached to the secular man (this is how it is managed) tells him about his conversion to Judaism after an accident on a trip to Thailand after the army, when he was traveling at a speed of about 150 km/h and crashed into a stationary truck. All the occupants of the vehicle were totaled and he emerged unharmed, except for a blow to his toe, which has left him with a scar to this day. The secular man who is attached eagerly listens to the story and tells him that about a month ago he had a similar accident when he crashed into a parked car at speed and emerged unharmed except for his toe. The two take off their socks and indeed the injury is visible to all.
If there is no supervision here, then what is there here!?
Another thing that is mentioned at the beginning of the program as a side note, the same guy whose brother who fasted converted says that his identical twin brother was from the same egg, and when his brother fell and opened his chin, he too was left with a scar in the same place. (I once heard of such a phenomenon, and it sounded like a hallucination to me).
Does the second phenomenon have a scientific explanation?

Regarding the second question, it is unlikely in my opinion that he has a scar without anything happening to him. Needs to be examined.
There is a more famous story where witches overcome gravity and the law of conservation of momentum using only a broom. What are the chances of something like that happening?
Fusser, I don't think there's any debate about the facts here, the question is why the facts!
To the innocent. When he told the story, he said that his friends there came out unharmed and he didn't. So if there was supervision, what about them?
I didn't come to say that I understand the calculations of heaven, but rather that it is obvious to say that such a coincidence would not happen by itself, and I spoke about the meeting of the survivors with the damage to the toe for almost the same reason.
What is he saying?
"If there is no providence here, then what is there here?!"
And you said to him: Indeed, there is providence here in the same sense as "the world behaves as it is supposed to."
I am amazed by the tendency to interpret precisely what is perceived by some as an "abnormal" phenomenon — as evidence of providence. Under the view of nature, exactly as it behaves, with causality and organized order, (and as we have formulated it in the form of "laws of nature"), as the perfect expression of providence.
All the occupants of the car, both those who were killed and those who were saved, were subject to the same exact laws of nature. If the same conditions had been met for all the occupants of the car, then everyone's fate would have been the same.
I do not accept the concept of "abnormality from nature." But for the sake of an illustration, I will ask: When a person sees two countries, in one of which people behave according to order and law, and in the other he sees chaos and confusion, what would he say from now on? To which of the lands will he point his finger and say, "This land is known to be under surveillance"?
Shlomo, see column 276

Shulayta, I read.
A column with excellent taste.
Dear Rabbi Shlomo. I repeat and clarify, I do not disagree that nature cries out for providence in its perfect expression.
But it is difficult for a person to see a tree and marvel at how it grows, etc., etc. due to the scholarly environment in which we live. And the Ramban has already expanded on this in Parashat Bo on the visible and hidden miracles and the Achmal.
I put my finger on two phenomena that have no logical explanation even in what we are used to and see as nature, for example the coincidence of the accident with the blow to the toe, it is true that in both cases there was no deviation from the laws of nature, but the timing of people is a statistical anomaly in my opinion that cries out for hidden miracles and says there is no nature and no chance, everything is managed by God.
Another thing I put my finger on is the matter of the mark that the twin received on his chin when his twin brother opened his chin.
"I do not disagree that nature cries out for providence in its perfect expression."
"It is true that in both cases there was no deviation from the laws of nature,"
"… which cries out for hidden miracles and says there is no nature and no chance"
I do not understand how one hand can write these three sentences in one breath.
P.S. If the mere fact that the above three sentences are in one breath amounts to a deviation from nature…
The laws of nature prove planning and therefore a planner.
When something happens in the world that does not deviate from the laws of nature in the world, such as the splitting of the sea, it seems to us that it operates according to the law of the cabal and without intervention, when there is a collision between anomalies, even if each one has its own explanation, this proves a puller in the strings.
And I will explain, when an accident occurred at high speed and the person came out unscathed except for a small bump on the toe, we will certainly assume that if we repeat the puzzle with the data in an exact manner, the result will be incredibly accurate, because the world operates according to laws, (Does lawfulness prove that there is no puller in the strings? No, we can assume that the laws operate on their own, after you have programmed their physical properties into them).
When there is a coincidence such as this, that is, two people who experienced an accident in a similar situation and came out with a damaged toe, and they meet while there is talk about whether there is providence, or if it is all a coincidence, the probability is that there is a puller in the strings.
Although it is not possible to prove empirically from this that someone is pulling the strings, the more likely probability is that something caused them to meet, etc., etc. And this is the cry that says there is no nature, there is no chance, and everything is the hand of someone pulling the strings. That is, divine providence.
