It's hard to understand what you're talking about dkv.

Are you suggesting that numbers exist as things that were created? Even if there is an ultimate creator, how does that require that numbers themselves be created? I can see how things can be created, and quantities of things. But numbers are just a way to keep track of those quantities, the ratios between those quantities, and how they change. No need for numbers themselves to be created.

Or are you suggesting that random events require a creator? Again, even if there is an ultimate creator, how does that require that the randomness of events be created? Random events occur because of the complexity of interactions of multiple things, so that even knowing the beginning state of everything you still can't predict later conditions.

Or are you suggesting that it's no good relying on apparent randomness for our trust in statistical probabilities, because a sly creator might set things up to appear random for all intents and purposes, but really they were chosen to be exactly as they are? But a purposely-chosen set of outcomes that is indistinguishable from a random set of outcomes is just as useful for statistical probability as a truly random set of outcomes, right? There being no difference, there's no difference.


Bwa ha ha haaaa!!
