The duty of faith

שו"תThe duty of faith
שאל לפני 8 שנים

Peace, Your Honor,
In the context of the amazing books of faith, revelation, etc.,
I have a big problem that arises in several places where there is no absolute truth, how can one be committed to faith and religious commitment in general, where there is no complete proof, and when it comes to philosophical discussions that we do not have the tools to examine them, and let's say a scientist like you can delve into them, but what about the common people who do not understand these things or who reject, for example, the theory of evolution without taking it seriously, then faith is flawed in rationality, how can one oblige a person to believe in what is not necessary.
And the main question is why God built a system in which it is impossible to know the truth clearly. How will we know which way to go? Apparently, probability is not enough, certainty is needed.

Hello David. I have already written several times that I believe there is no obligation to delve into philosophy and arguments as a basis for belief. If a person comes to the conclusion that he believes and that is satisfactory for him, then that is fine. Furthermore, the more you delve into arguments, the less certain you become because you are aware that we are human beings who can make mistakes. One thing is clear, if you identify truth with certainty you are making a bitter mistake. In such a situation you will not be able to accept anything on earth because nothing is certain (and not just faith). I have elaborated on this in my books, mainly Two Carts and Unstable Truth. We are condemned to make decisions under conditions of uncertainty, both in science and in faith and in every other area of ​​our lives. Probability is good enough, and we do not have to have certainty. Why did God create the world and us this way? I have no idea.
