Add probability theory to things DaveScot either doesn't understand. Consider that there is such a thing as a probability "theory" for a flavor of why DaveScot is wrong. |
The tardy boy never learns. I noticed his problems with the concept of randomness back in July. Here's part of what he said at UD that got me:
| Quote | | To call any mutation “random” requires that you demonstrate 1) the unverse is not entirely deterministic and 2) you have demonstrated beyond a reasonable doubt that no unknown directed process is involved. I won’t hold my breath while you show me where these are demonstrated. What random in this case really means is “unknown cause”. |
