I tried the links, but no reference to stochastic processes. ???

What do you mean by that? Stochastic ==> Over time... do you mean discrete events over time?

Just wondering how you apply stochastic processes to evolution?

It relates to chaos theory. Natural phenomenum which appear completely random have in fact definite patterns and can be described by differential equations.

The "butterfly effect" is the case where a slight change in initial conditions yields a completely different result. Thus random initial conditions in nature would lead to natural diversity. Yet each life form would follow a definite pattern.

Darwinism fails in explaining nature's diversity or its potential in even greater diversity than seen today. Nature could be much more diverse if it were not for predatory races which killed other more viable but less aggressive races.

Darwin talks about adaptation to the environment, but there has to be restraints in this adaptation in order for the ecosystem to strive.

You can, however, apply Stochastic™ methods to tracking individual genes.
