The Holy One, Blessed be He, and the World
Question
In the last lecture, “The Holy One, Blessed be He, and the World,” regarding natural evil in the world, it was argued that these are the only possible optimal laws. My question is: within the framework of these laws, we do agree that our situation today is better than that of humanity in the past. So could the Holy One, Blessed be He, not have brought this good earlier, whether through a miracle or as natural knowledge given, for example, to a prophet? Or are you in fact denying miracles altogether?
Answer
That too is part of the natural way the world operates. Its laws dictate development (evolution).
