Job 38:3-5

From OpenWordBase

“Gird up now thy loins like a man, for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me. Where wast thou when I laid the foundation of the earth? Declare, if thou hast understanding. Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?”

Mathematics

Division, Multiplication, Probability, Possibility ⁽²³⁷⁾

The Hebrew scriptures, which have influenced western civilization more than any other writings, declare that God brought order to primeval chaos by the operations of dividing and multiplying - and by the narrowing down of an infinite number of possibilities. If probability is a function of a defined set of possibilities, then God may be viewed as the one who defines the sets of possibilities, producing probable outcomes.
