Natural law that all organisms must follow. Certainly not the result of random processes.

The article states specifically as much. The inital conditions are random. Simple rules, operating incrementally, define the outcome. Of course, even so the emergent pattern is not always predictable.

Try here.

Didn't Stephen Wolfram cover all of this in his book "A New Kind of Science"?

I know of no biologist who makes that claim. Perhaps you can cite the passage upon which you base this statement.

See post #11.

Does randomness really exist? I have always thought that randomness is the way for we humans to attempt to quantify what we don't understand, i.e., initial conditions, constants like pi, e, h, etc.

That even when a process appears random it is not.

Yes. At least, according to Stephen.
