yekke2 – Apparently, regarding things that are in our capacity to control, HKB”H gave us the abilities to enable us to control.

But there are many things we can control, but are against the Torah.

benignuman – We are partners in creation.

Assuming this is correct (that we are actually partners in creation), where do we draw the line? If people can and do control everything, it will inevitably lead to feelings of “kochi v’otzem yadi”, and lack of awareness that there is a Greater Force running nature.
