Refuting the cube analogy

שו”תCategory: faithRefuting the cube analogy
asked 8 years ago

In the SD
Although if we see a die that lands on a 6 100 times, we will conclude that it is fake (=has a tendency to land on a 6), we will not conclude that someone intelligent caused it to happen on purpose.
So while the world is special, and we must conclude that there is a high chance of life being created (which itself is a very rare thing), we cannot conclude that someone intended and planned it (which made the laws unfair).
And now all vision fell like a kind of matter.

How did we get here? I understand this is to continue a previous discussion. In any case, I won’t continue it because it’s exhausted. I’m just saying that nothing has fallen through. Your words are simply a misunderstanding, but I don’t have the strength to keep repeating myself over and over again without making progress.

?? What discussion???

מיכי Staff replied 8 years ago

I don't remember much of the discussions about the dice and the results. I've been exhausted to the point of bleeding with various questions on the site.
(In the wording of the question you didn't address which argument and what exactly you're claiming, so I assumed you were continuing some previous discussion).

Are you serious? I explained that it is not clear why in the cube we do not conclude that there was a special intention to create a fake cube, while in the universe we do.
In the cube we say that it is just a glitch in the production line that caused the cube to be unfair.

Seriously. Read your message again and you'll see that it's worded as if we're in the middle of some kind of discussion.

To be brief, I'll say here that the discussion is unnecessary and seems completely simple to me. A die that lands on a very special structure was intentionally created for that structure. Take a die that lands on 1,2,3,4,5,6, and so on. Don't you think this indicates a deliberate hand? A die that lands on 6 might be explained by a random flaw that dropped it there. Beyond that, if a die that was held to be fair and random until now starts to land only on 6, then you'll conclude that someone is doing something here.
The structure of the world is much more special (especially life), and therefore it is likely not created by chance. A lottery of natural laws will not yield a set of rules that creates life.
Simple, and not really worth discussing.

Ah.. I understand. Thank you.
The rabbi should remember that the question is not a question of the future.
