thank you so we are in continuing with the kuzari the first uh part of the kuzuri and the rabbi is explaining a very important issue to the king with regard to Nature that people attribute all sorts of abilities processes to Nature up to even forethought to Nature up to even forethought forethought means planning that nature is a good planner it takes care of everybody and in that sense the cruiser the rabbi is very worried when we start using this type of language because that language usurps God's role and reifies do you guys know what the word reify mean it puts it all into something else reify means making a God that's how vortazar started correctly we reify started correctly we reify nature so he says that no matter how much we would understand about nature we can't predict a hundred percent for certainty what will happen in every situation and he says that is something that is very very difficult to be able to predict and we see this actually um Rabbi Gatlin has a lecture online um Rabbi Gatlin has a lecture online called why does science matter to the non-scientists and he explains sort of how science works so he gives an example that he says you know uh you want to figure out um at what temperature does water boil so what do you do you take water right and you start boiling it and you test the temperature and when does it boil when it reaches a hundred degrees Centigrade right
