“Guided evolution would not be something that we could determine. We are unable to get past quantum mechanics.”
Did you say that just because it sounds fancy? What does quantum mechanics have to do with whether a light detecting spot will spontaneously evolve on the inside of your ass? Do living cells randomly fly apart because of quantum mechanics at any time, at any moment?
Yes, quantum mechanics predicts that random things happen.
Light is a wave, or a particle, depending on what kind of experiment you perform.
Schrodinger’s cat is either in the box or not in the box, and you don’t know until you look. when you look, it collapses from the state of it being unknown to either being there, or not being there. Until you look you don’t know.
