Prayer
Hello Rabbi, a friend asked his rabbi if prayer works in nature (the Mishnah in the blessings) and this is what he answered him:
“The claim that because they discovered that the sex of the fetus is determined from the moment of fertilization, this proves that every natural process is deterministic is logically incorrect.”
Apart from this, also with regard to the sex of the fetus, the fetus can undergo a morphological change that will change its sex without changing its genetic makeup.
In general, it is known today that there is a certain percentage of non-deterministic processes within nature, so prayer can apply there.”
I didn’t understand the answer exactly. Can the Rabbi address these claims?
First understand the answer and then ask what you want to ask. I am not Google Translate.
The question is if everything is deterministic in nature, where does prayer come in if not prayer for a miracle? The rabbi there said that it is known today that there is a certain percentage that is not deterministic…
How does the rabbi relate to this answer?
I refer to it negatively, as you quoted from me. What is the question?
Is the Rabbi familiar with this theory that not all of nature is deterministic? Can the Rabbi expand on this or send a link to an article or video regarding the matter?
This is not a theory, but simply a lack of understanding. See the series of columns 322 and onwards.
