> The question here is nearly identical: How can you tell the difference between chance and design? What's the defining characteristic? What does chance even look like to begin with? (THAT I can answer, it's mathematical, but I want to hear you and David take cracks at this.)-Agreed that chance has a role, but intelligence has to have a role in setting up the playing field at first. The issue is whether one can detect teleology to be able to apportion the role of chance and the role of design.
