faith
To the Rabbi, peace be upon you.
This is a follow-up question to the one I asked in the email,
A. Regarding the laws of nature. I didn’t understand why the answer to the question – what will happen to a pen when we drop it (it falls on the table) – is uncertain.
on. I understand that in matters of faith there is not the same kind of certainty as in the laws of nature, but if there is a certain pattern of conduct in the world (providence), is it not possible to claim something beyond reasonableness on this subject?

I thought about it a little more and I understand that it is impossible to talk about the logical certainty of any claim, but that is not what I meant. After we said that nothing is certain, it is still possible to divide between different types of factual claims. The world has behaved in a certain way since time immemorial, such as the sunrise and the force of gravity, etc. And I asked whether there is a special definition for these factual claims. Something between probability and certainty. For example, in other areas, one can also talk about such a direction, such as the existence of the people of Israel, even though it is not the same type of claim or the same level of certainty.
Obviously there are different levels of certainty. I don't have a criterion.
