If you toss a coin, and ask most people what the probable out come will be, most will say it a 50/50 prob. of heads or tails, but this is not true, there is also the possibility that it could come down and land on it's edge, now this is very unlikely but not impossible.The mechanics of the action make it impossible that it will stay floating in the air, (here on earth, anyway) and that it will fall, so other forces come into the picture and as pointed out a chemical reaction is not random and in given situations it it a certainly, that's the amino acid sorted then.Now we have the basic building block so lets shack them up and see what happens!Remember we are not tossing just one coin once here! if we toss 100's of billions of coins every ten hundredth of a second, then the result over time is going to be a rather number of non heads or tails!Added to this the fact that once life gets a hold it is a resistant little SOB (the simple form anyway) just think of the bacteria that went up to the moon and stayed there for some seven years and when brought back was easily reanimated (If you have never heard about this then you should have!)Any way the point is that Stats are often an over simplified toy used by politicians (and the like) to fool fools!Nice question thanks for giving me the possibility to add my bit. ;-))
