According to John Mackie: "Whether the laws of nature are deterministic or statistical, we can give a coherent definition of a m

iracle as a supernatural intrusion into the normally closed system that works in accordance with those laws, and in either case we can identify conceivable occurrences, and alleged occurrences, which if they were to occur, or have occurred, could be believed with high probability, though not known with certainly, to satisfy that definition." Which of the following best summarizes his main point here?
a. supernatural intrusions (miracles) are possible if the laws of nature are statistical or deterministic
b. It makes it fair that innocent others must suffer terribly so that the rest of us may have an interesting, character-building yet tragic world in which to live
c. It presumes that all evil is caused by humans
d. A violation of the laws of nature.

<u>Answer</u>:

A) Supernatural intrusion ( miracle ) is possible if the law of nature is statistical and deterministic.  

<u>Explanation: </u>

The law of nature are statistical and deterministic, these laws are strict, not statistical and deterministic according to the law of classical determinism. There would be a condition that is not under our control and all our actions.  

The strict law +independent conditions = Personal action. All this action happened by the event of the pattern but even the patterns are not conformed to the strict law of nature.

slava [35]

Answer:

The idea is bounded rationality.

Explanation:

The Bounded Rationality Theory was proposed  by Herbert Simon and it states that human cognition is not perfect and is flawed. One's reasoning can have fails which restricts the decision making and eventually coming to an optimal one.

The theory states that a person tends to take irrational decisions since his/her rational thinking is in fact limited by his/her cognitive skills, the available time and the complexity of such problem.

When solving a problem, one can never truly fix it in a completely optimal way since it is impossible to think of all the solutions to the problem.

Answer:

Cerebral Hemispheres

Explanation:

Aida Gómez-Robles, an anthropologist at The George Washington University, and her colleagues compared the effect of genes on brain size and organization in 218 human and 206 chimpanzee brains. They found that although brain size was highly heritable in both species, the organization of the cerebral cortex—especially in areas involved in higher-order cognition functions—was much less genetically controlled in humans than in chimps. One potential explanation for this difference, according to the researchers, is that because our brains are less developed than those of our primate cousins at birth, it creates a longer period during which we can be molded by our surroundings.
