Null Hypothesis (H0): There is a just God. Hence God almost always creates a just world. Creating a world is like tossing a coin. Head (H) is a just world and Tail (T) is an unjust world. Even the almighty God cannot design a coin to have H on both sides because the mere imagination of H amounts to creation of T. Inescapable destiny of God’s creation.
The just God tosses the coin so that most of the time the outcome of the trial is H world. In a statistical worldview with the possibility of the coin turning T in a tiny tiny tiny insignificant number of times, T shows up. But if the God is absolutely just, powerful and knowing, he would not allow this to happen!
Observation (X0): We have one world that can be observed. The world is not just (the outcome of the particular trial we are in is T as it is observed empirically, provided we do not have any empirical evidence of afterlife which ultimately complements the observed world to turn it into a just world; to turn this negative sum game into a zero sum game. Just game is a zero-sum game.
Meaning of “just”: Maybe the meaning of “Just” as we understand is different from the meaning God attaches while creating this world. So maybe the world is just and we are all unknowingly happy about that; knowingly we are all unhappy creatures. But let us assume that we all know the meaning of the word “just”.
The test: The Fisher’s test of significance amounts to finding the distance between the Null hypothesis and the observation. This is a distance function
t = there is a just world – the world is not just = H0 – X0
Under the assumption that the world we have observed is a truly typical realization of the God’s experiment of coin toss, we can draw the following inference. If the value if t is zero, then that would mean that there is a strong evidence for the existence of a just world created by a just God. Greater the value of t, stronger the evidence against the null hypothesis that there is a just God who created a just world.
The value of t can be large even if there exists a just God who creates a just world. The “not so” almighty God tossed the coin and this particular universe is a fluke outcome which had a tiny tiny probability of being observed when the coin was being designed. But as it turned out to be a T side of the coin already; the coin has already been tossed, the probability does not matter much. We live in a T world. Period. Under this condition, we have other possible interpretation of the observed T world. Maybe the just God has created many many worlds that are just in our sense of the meaning of the word “just”. God is already 99.9999999999% just. Unfortunately we happen to be in this unlikely T world with infinitesimal probability.
Conclusion: One of the following conclusions can be drawn under the Fisherian interpretation of the test.
- There is a God who is less than 100% just and we happen to be extremely unlucky ones to be in a not so just world.
- There is no evidence for the existence of a just God who could have created this unjust world.
