What does, "Software programs have nothing to offer biological systems," mean? Was this an attempt to repeat your prior claims about simulations of evolutionary principles, or is this a different claim?
Taz, you used the Monte Carlo method as a way to typify your argument, did you not?
I'm not sure what "typify your argument" means, but all Taz was saying was that Monte Carlo trials are a key aspect of evolutionary simulations. You can think of them as analogous to Malthus, where many offspring are produced but only a few selected.
It might help move the discussion forward if we made a better effort to explain how evolution simulations work. Would you be interested in that?
