He felt that the convoluted, interdependent natural laws underlying climate (virtually the whole gamut of physics + chemistry) are so unfathomably complex that he was better off tackling "easier" problems instead in advanced physics.<br /><br />The incredible complexity of natural global rainfall, alongside its absolute necessity to sustain life on this planet, remains a phenomenon of "gevuros" as you say, in a plain and visible sense. <br />Stevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14371365602074869132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20173285.post-15175965914606297322012-10-07T15:51:48.260-04:002012-10-07T15:51:48.260-04:00>>> "Ish Elokim" = master over ...>>> "Ish Elokim" = master over nature<br /><br />is this synonymous with tzelem Elokim?<br /><br />>>> can bend them to his purpose, to bless Bnei<br />Yisrael<br /><br />do you mean that Moshe himself manipulated nature<br />to favor Bnei Yisrael in ages to come, or that only someone on such a level could call on Hashem<br />to do the manipulating?<br /><br />>>> Hashem...will respond that the skies prove them wrong.<br /><br />but Bnei Yisrael can counter, 'why then didn't<br />You deliver rain b'midbar, instead of water from<br />rocks & from wells, & so train us in the equivalence of rain to mahn?' {perhaps rainclouds would've<br />interfered with the ananei hakavod, or detracted from their glory? or could the ananei have doubled as rainclouds?!} <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
