You're shifting your ground -- our argument was about whether human evolution
was improbable. I'm very happy to accept evolution is unpredictable. But if
you still hold to the former, then what causes these improbable things to
happen, if not God?
Personally, I think all those who insist on the improbability of things being
as they are, are pushing a disguised creationist, or at least vitalist, agenda.
