The Tradition
Question
I spoke with someone about the existence of the Creator, and I told him that as for the proof from tradition, I can’t find any weakness in it. I wanted to know what the Rabbi thinks: is there an argument against tradition?
Answer
There certainly is. The main one is formulated as the “argument from testimony,” based on David Hume. You can search for it online. I discussed this at length in my books Truth and Not Stable and also The First Existent.
