Randy: A process which could produce any one of a thousand outcomes only
produces one. That outcome does in fact occur but to specify it in
advance would be very difficult. It seems to me that this is the
sense in which Joseph's critique is valid.

Indeed, but why presume that the outcome had to be specified in advance. Let's assume that by chance the universe arose with physical constants allowing oxygen breathing carbon life forms to evolve. We are now here and marvel at how well our life form "fits" in the range of physical constants found in nature. A miracle ? Or an inescapable results ?
