Good Afternoon, Honorable Rabbi

Question

I am writing this question בעקבות my reading of the Rabbi's book "God Plays Dice." The Rabbi says that he accepts the theory of evolution as correct. Why, then, in the fourth chapter does the Rabbi mention quite a few times that evolution is not falsifiable and therefore is not scientific? That contradicts what I checked and found, namely that evolution is in fact falsifiable.
I would be happy to hear your answer.

Answer

Everything was explained there. If you have a concrete question, raise it and we can discuss it.

The concrete question here should be: why does evolution, out of all scientific theories, get special privilege? The statistical probability of evolution being possible is negligible, whereas if this were any other scientific theory with such a low probability of being correct, it would have been thrown in the trash the moment it appeared.
The answer is: this is the only theory that can explain the world around us without the intervention of the Creator (ignoring the laws of nature, which supporters of evolution also dodge bringing into the equation—except for Michi).

I liked the certainty. Especially when it comes to complete nonsense.

I would have liked a bit more engagement with the arguments themselves. Taunts (which are sometimes said to strengthen the teaser's own position in his own eyes) can be found elsewhere, and there are more interesting ones.

When there are arguments, I’ll be happy to address them. I really was not taunting. My words were a dry description of your message: nonsense.

Cash Machine (2025-02-24)

There were arguments here—on the face of it, no less good than the ones we often hear and read from you, and far less convoluted. Their drawback is that they do not fit into the model you hold regarding evolution.
By the way: my view of evolution and its place in science today has nothing whatsoever to do with my religious views (which you do not know, and which are also not relevant).
