So the question of which is more reasonable? is superflous ... at least for me. > Could you explain why that answer(s) is "excessive" "needless" for me? There are two ways of interpreting your question GK-1) For you personally why is the question superflous ... You have to decide whether the question is needed for yourself.-2) If indeed chance and cause are the same thing (chaos theory) or quantum phenomena, then there is no need to have one being more reasonable than the other.-At least it seems that way to me.
