         What about finding out how G-D works by looking at the history
of mankind ? Isn't looking at how G-D has controlled the destinies of
the various nations of the world also a legitimate way of seeing how He
runs the world? In fact this is an accepted interpretation of G-D's
reply to Moses "only my back shall be seen" when Moses asks of G-D "let me
see your glory ".
