Has the Rabbi heard of the website called “Ethologica”? Explanation of the question and why it is important: I searched the Internet to see if there was anyone who was trying to answer the Rabbi’s books from the atheist direction, and on the aforementioned website, an anonymous young man who does not identify himself by name (at least from what I understood from a quick browse) quite bluntly formulates a whole series of responses to the book God Plays Dice. At first glance, he did not seem serious to me, but after I delved a little deeper into the browsing, I realized that he was not such a loser. His words indicate that he had read the book in its entirety (that was my impression) and since I read the Rabbi’s book a while ago, I am not that knowledgeable on the subject (therefore it is difficult to ask a concrete question), but in my opinion, if the Rabbi gave special treatment even to the “Messiah Jews” videos, then at the very least it is worth individual treatment.

I’ve already addressed this (I think there’s something about it on the site here. You can search for it). I don’t think the criticism is significant. He does speak with great confidence, but as we know, confidence is no substitute for the quality of the arguments.

Hello.
I have read all of his Etology articles carefully, and the ones that are really relevant to the claim about the existence of God are only articles 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.

See here a response article I wrote to his seventh article:

And see here a response article I wrote to his fifth article:

I am ashamed to comment on most of his words in the fourth article, the only interesting point in it was Rabbi Michi's response Here:
https://mikyab.net/%D7%A9%D7%95%D7%AA/%D7%91%D7%99%D7%A7%D7%95%D7%A8%D7%AA-%D7%A2%D7%9C-%D7%94%D7%98%D7%99%D7%A2%D7%95%D7%9F-%D7%9E%D7%9F-%D7%94%D7%AA%D7%9B%D7%A0%D7%95%D7%9F/

For the claim that in the fifth article Rabbi Mikhi addressed everywhere possible the difference between an argument outside the laws and an argument within the laws, see his article ‘A Systematic Look at the Relationship between Evolution and Faith’.

I would really like to write a response to the third article, but there is simply no argument there, not even a bad one (and I'm really not kidding, seriously, check me out).

News: “Regarding the claim that in the fifth article, Rabbi Michi referred to it in every possible place,” I meant Ido’s sixth article, not the fifth.
