[Bonaparte]

Thankyou for clarifying your use of the phrase, totally random, Nebullis. Accepting that your intended meaning is "locally random," ie. randomity occuring over a limited range of events or elements, does it follow that "undetected explanation" means "no explanation?"

You're confusing me here, Bonaparte. I'm trying to move away from the word 'random'. It doesn't really apply as Sabertooth wants it to. The introduction of variation in nature is not guided, if that's what you mean. On the other hand, it, absolutely, follows natural laws and is contingent on historical and environmental context. Of course there are explanations. And we are learning more all the time.
