QUOTE: When it comes down to it, I think the most meaningful definition of randomness is that which cannot be predicted by humans. 
 
>> An excellent definition, which leaves the whole question wide open. We have no idea what discoveries science might make in a hundred/thousand/ten thousand years, and so currently we can only theorize.-> dhw: the argument that life and the mechanism for evolution are too complex to have arisen by chance.-So assuming the you actually agree with the definition of random and assuming for you chance is more or less equivalent to random ... then your position that you must take seriously is this:-... the argument that life and the mechanism for evolution are too complex to be predicted by humans.-But I don't think you mean that predictability is a requirement for evolution.
