I have expressed in my thread about Atheism versus Destiny my opinion that practical atheism has to tackle the problem of religious belief in Destiny by accepting the existence of indeterminism as an inherent law of nature.
It is true that RD in his TGD does not accept "chance" as playing any role in Darwinistic theory of natural selection .
But he does not deny either in a concret way, scientific theories of indeterminism like the uncertainity principle in quantum mechanics discovered by Bohr and Heisenberg,like the same principle applicated by Stephen Hawking to the research of black holes,like the genetic drift which enhanced the Darwinistic view on natural selection.
Where have all these principles elapsed?
Are they obsolete ,where they replaced by other principles?
We are here in the chapter of science so a proper and well founded answer ia not out of place
