Shakespeare wasn't a random process...
Well, then you believe in predestination and all in encompasses. Shakespeare was born of a man and a woman who produced a son with talent (on loan from God! :-)), the son didn't get run over by a dung wagon at six years old, but might have. He didn't get bubonic plague at nine years old, but might have. He didn't break his leg on the playing field and miss his first day of writing class, but he might have. He didn't etc. ad nauseum.
Either we're all random processes with chance and free will shaping our lives and works, or we're all automatons of the universal God. Which is it? FR threads accumulate posts in the six figure range debating this issue.
Glad to know that your mind is so vast and all encompassing that you actually know what random is with regard to the whole of creation.
Precisely! Neither is evolution.
