Taz, you used the Monte Carlo method as a way to typify your argument, did you not? And were we not talking about random processes within evolution?
No. We were talking about ANY process that involves lots and lots of random steps and one single non-random step. By saying that the whole thing is totally random even though parts of it is not, you've advocated a lie, which goes against one of your precious 10 commandments.
Clearly there was no other avenue or reason for you to bring up the MC method. So please tell me how I'm wrong.
We've been trying to tell you this for days now. Simple random mutation and natural selection works for other areas other than biological evolution as well. When I was pissing and moaning about the video, I was not specifically pissing and moaning about the narrator lying about biological evolution. I was pissing and moaning about the narrator lying about the process in general.
Again, the monte carlo method involves lots and lots of random steps with one or two non-random steps. I dare you to say straight to my face that it doesn't work when trying to solve physical and mathematical systems.
Software programs have nothing to offer biological systems Taz, which, if I haven't made it abundantly clear by now, is the angle that I've been coming from.
Again, I have not looked at any evolution simulation program before and am personally don't know enough about the mechanics of evolution to comment. It's called humility, something that seems to be alien to you.
Just remember that you brought up evolution simulator, not I.
