Rom: What is your definition of chance?

Would a roulette wheel count as an event not requiring a specified result?-> Agreed. Do you think humans are here because of chance contingency, a la' Gould?
I am not familiar with Gould ... though I have heard his name a mentioned in connection with punctuated equilibrium. Disagree with the term equilibrium, the environment is definitely nowhere near equilibrium, but I understand his point.-That evolution is chaotic when viewed over millions of years is not surprising. Whether we view it deterministically or probabilitiscally.
