Question

Hello. I read what I wrote in the trilogy about the prohibition against praying nowadays, because every prayer is essentially a miracle. And you explain that in the past people prayed either because they did not know the reality, and then it really was prohibited, or because in the past not everything was deterministic (but that is a bit forced).
Two comments:
A. Maybe it is prohibited to pray for a miracle because it is forbidden to ask God to change His policy. And if so, in the past, when they thought the policy was that there are no fixed laws, then it was also permitted to pray for a miracle (even though it really is a miracle). And maybe that is also why He answered more then. Whereas today, when we know that this is a prayer for a miracle, it is prohibited. That is to say, the difference in knowledge about the laws affects the Jewish law of whether it is permitted to pray, which might also affect the very response itself. (This is different from what you wrote, that in the past reality itself was different, in the second explanation.)
 
B. In your analysis in the book, it comes out that the Sages were mistaken in their scientific conception, and in light of the determination that it is forbidden to pray for a miracle, it follows that it is forbidden to pray today. I am asking whether perhaps their halakhic determination stemmed from that same mistake. That is, if they had lived today and understood that everything is a miracle, then they would have permitted prayer.
I hope I explained myself. I would be glad for a response. And thank you very much for the important books.
