[Platt] That's not demonstration. That's just a recitation of "what is" according To SOM. What experiment predicts a repeatable measurable result of chance? [Krimel] There is no need to look to science for this there are casinos and insurance companies aplenty that thrive on it. But I have neither the patience nor the inclination to help you overcome willful ignorance. If you are really interested try Google. > [Platt] > Is chance that your conception of God? > > [Krimel] > No, chance is my conception of chance.

[Krimel] One can conceive of purposeful unicorns and elephants in pink tutus as well, so what? If you mean these conversations to actually mean anything why don't you try answering Arlo's questions? As it stands the only reason for continuing this for the umpteenth time would be to show newcomers how foolish your end of these discussions always looks.
