Re: Miracles

MJA don't you believe that the universe is probalistic and not deterministic.

I thought with quantum mechanics you had to accept a cetain degree of uncertainity, and therefor we talk about probability patterns. We all have a certain degree of freedom ( from quarks, to you and I, to the universe ) and so we rely on probability theory.

This is true whether we are talking insurance rates, mortality tables, the gaming tables in LV, or projecting a pattern for an electron.

I know Einstein didn't like God playing dice, but its that game of chance which gives you and I our freedom and corresponding responsibities.

Best to you,

Pat
