    Duh....

    What I meant to say was:

    Very little about nature is not blind, even in any real sense.

    Only some species of living creatures enjoy the sense of sight.
    But I guess you mean it in a more metaphorical sense.
    Even so, I would disagree too as it is hard
    to maintain I think that spontaneous processes in nature are somehow
    self-guided. Therefore, please explain what you mean here Wade.

    Regards,

    Phil.
