How can a process be non random?
Because it is subject to certain external (blind) forces.
Like when 2 H atoms and an O atom come together to form a water molecule.
Traits.
So why would you use a machine designed by human hand - created and designed to perform a task - as your example?
The machine itself is irrelevant. It's the process that matters in the analogy.
Kind of like a freezer. Inside, the process of "freezing" takes place. Just because the freezer is man made, doesn't mean that "freezing" is man made.
Its an example to show non-random behaviour using a machine that was designed and created.
No. It's just an example of non-random output in a process that uses random input, without any need for manual intervention.
Can you show me using an example of something which is non-random and not a created thing?
Any natural occuring chemical compound.
Like the formation of water molecules.
Or the direction of falling. It's not random that things fall down and not up.
Or the process of freezing - regardless of it taking place at the north pole or inside a man made freezer.
Your analogy so far cannot escape design
Again, learn how analogies work.
ie a coin machine created by human hand and designed to perform a process
The analogy is in the process.
Also, it's not a
machine. It's just a bar with holes in it.
This is supposed to show a non random process by comparing it to a designed process?
No. It shows how you can get non-random output from random input, without any manual intervention.
Well show me then? What have you got to prove your case?
The process of evolution.
Genetic algoritms do exactly this.
Here's an example for you to handwave away:
BoxCar2D
I was never taught evolution at school.
Shocking!
Who is correct you or the authority on the subject which contradicts what you say? - remember that link you sent me?
That homosexuality is common in the animal kingdom, is an observable fact, no matter your denial.
"Bagemihl adds, however, that this is "necessarily an account of human interpretations of these phenomena".[7] Simon LeVay introduced caveat that "
[a]lthough homosexual behavior is very common in the animal world, it seems to be very uncommon that individual animals have a long-lasting predisposition to engage in such behavior to the exclusion of heterosexual activities."
"Thus, a homosexual orientation, if one can speak of such thing in animals, seems to be a rarity."
"[8]One species in which exclusive homosexual orientation occurs, however, is that of domesticated sheep (Ovis aries).[9][10] "About 10% of rams (males), refuse to mate with ewes (females) but do readily mate with other rams."[10]"
Point remains. Homosexuality clearly isn't a human only thing.
You can keep sticking your head in the sand if you want though.
Why did you send me that link if it contradicts what you are saying?
It doesn't.
I refer you to the previous quotes from your page - you supplied me
