Total randomness would mean there were no consistent laws at all, so trial and error (the way evolution works and human progress, e.g. science and design, works) would not work. You could keep doing the same thing and get different results. That's why I wrote. &JimVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10198704789965278981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22973357.post-72838660735177517562018-05-29T00:51:51.784-04:002018-05-29T00:51:51.784-04:00Helen,
