How is stochastic processes related to evolution?

And by the way, what is your point?




Evolution is a combination of random/stochastic mutations and application of natural selection to those in order to shape the material character of a life form.

Chaos theory is the deterministic part which explains that many such random processes are in fact pseudorandom, and follow deterministic random equations containing strange attractors. Differential equations without strange attractors are pure random processes.

If Evolution follows, as Dambricourt-Malache postulates, not random processes but submit well to chaos theory, as she has shown, then Evolution is not totally random, "God plays with loaded dice".

Dambricourt was atheist, and when she published her mathematical results, she was accused of creationism, when she did not even know about creationism in the first place.

Anne Dambricourt is a crackpot, pretty much like de Chardin, whose crackpot footsteps she is following in.

That is all.
