No I did not.

So human beings were determined by the laws of nature to evolve as we did or evolve at all?

Seer your arguing in circles from a perspective that you deny evolution completely as science that has been demonstrated beyond a reasonable doubt. Your arguments are couched in an 'argument from ignorance' as to what your assertion is 'what has to take place.' Your misusing the concept of randomness to justify your agenda, and not remotely trying to understand science.

What the science of evolution has demonstrate is that evolution did takes place of billions of years, and the result is the human species. The science has demonstrated that after extinction events, very very morphological similar species arise again given the same environment, demonstrated that the Laws of Nature, and the environment are the overwhelming cause of the outcome of evolution for a time.

I will ask again Shuny, were human beings determined by the laws of nature to evolve as we did or evolve at all? Yes or no?

You are fibbing again Shuny, I am not arguing in a circle, but you will not answer a straight question, again: were human beings determined by the laws of nature to evolve as we did or evolve at all? Yes or no?

Let's clarify your misuse of randomness. Yes, I described it in terms of one event being random, but let's take a look at how the definition applies to a series of events.

Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randomness

Randomness is the lack of pattern or predictability in events.[1] A random sequence of events, symbols or steps has no order and does not follow an intelligible pattern or combination. Individual random events are by definition unpredictable, but in many cases the frequency of different outcomes over a large number of events (or "trials") is predictable. For example, when throwing two dice, the outcome of any particular roll is unpredictable, but a sum of 7 will occur twice as often as 4. In this view, randomness is a measure of uncertainty of an outcome, rather than haphazardness, and applies to concepts of chance, probability, and information entropy.

It is clear and specific by definition that the outcome of evolution is predictable based on the Laws of Nature and the environment. Only the outcome of an individual event in evolution such as one mutation can be considered random.

The science has demonstrated that after extinction events, very very morphological similar species arise again given the same environment, demonstrated that the Laws of Nature, and the environment are the overwhelming cause of the outcome of evolution for a time.

Science only can test the fact that evolution is repeatably predictable throughout the millennia, billions of years, up until the present without random outcomes. Arguing that the the outcome could be different is hypothetical, and beyond the ability of science and crystal balls. Based on the outcomes, we have no reason to believe that there is a wide variation of the outcomes, or for that matter any variation in the outcomes.

You are avoiding again Shuny, there is no evidence that human beings were determined by the laws of nature to evolve as we did or evolve at all. There is no scientific evidence that the laws of nature determined that bio-genesis would happen on this earth. Random.

ALL the evidence of the science of evolution has determined that the Laws of Nature and the environment determine the course of evolution. All the present evidence we have at present indicates that abiogenesis and biogenesis occurs naturally in given environments. The science of evolution is based on the predictability and falsification of hypothesis like all science and consistent. All I can do here is present the scientific evidence and correct your misuse of concepts like randomness.

Again, again, and again . . .

You reject the science of evolution as 'a priori' to any dialogue we have. You have little or no knowledge, and hold a distinctly fundamentalist view of Creation. This is the crux of the argument.

Shuny, no one believes that life on earth was inevitable, nor was it inevitable that we evolved as we did or evolve at all. There was chance all along the way.

[Tassman]

Shuny, no one believes that life on earth was inevitable, nor was it inevitable that we evolved as we did or evolve at all. There was chance all along the way.

No-one believes that life on earth was inevitable. Life has NOT arisen one most planets in the universe, but it has developed on Earth and the mechanism was the Evolutionary process. This is supported by considerable evidence and not in doubt. Your argument is a straw-man in defense of an imaginary creator deity.

No one, that is not the case.

These scientists I cited express my view that life and evolution is inevitable based on the Laws of Nature, and the environment. Of course it remains problematic, because you a priori reject science. I can provide more . . .

Nonsense Shuny, you take a couple of theories that have not been proven, because in fact we can not replicate the conditions nor do we know the actual biological process that took place. And it was not inevitable that the earth would have the conditions for life, nor, again was it inevitable that humans would develop as we did or at all. Who believes that?

You made the assertion that no one believes that life and evolution was inevitable, and I presented at least 4 or 5 reference in the articles that support this, and I can present more. You persist in 'arguing from ignorance,' and just simply denying science based on a religious agenda. Moving the goal posts does not help your case. The inevitability of life and evolution is based on the environment. The scientists cited involve our earth and it's history, which they support the science that life and evolution on our earth was inevitable. Where ever in the universe that a planet with a suitable environment exists, life and evolution will exist.
