Several Questions About
Question
- In order to become familiar with the views of atheists, is it enough to read the books of Dawkins, Russell, and Hawking, or do they have arguments beyond what those three people claim?
- I saw that Rabbi Sherki argues that God is beyond the definition of existence or non-existence. Do you agree with that?
- I saw on the Ratzio website that they claim evolution occurs only when the organism is built in advance for change. That is, it is planned מראש. This would mean there is no proof here of the randomness of nature. Is this claim scientifically correct, or is it pseudoscientific?
Answer
- I don’t know. You should ask them.
- No. Everything either exists or does not exist.
- I’m not sure I understood. I wrote that there are laws of nature that make evolution possible, and therefore the argument is based on the question of who created them. Maybe that’s what they mean. In any case, this is a philosophical claim, not a scientific one. So the question is not relevant.
