Is indeterminism in science still alive or dead?
#1
Is indeterminism in science still alive or dead?
Reading The God Delusion I have failed to understand what is the position of RD with referrence to indeterminism .
In some chapters of the book he speaks about "chance"or "luck" in the evolution of life or in origin of life with the meanning of randomness ,denying them alltogether and putting in evidence that those notions are sutained only by creationists or ID believers.

I searched the Wikipedia about 'Ideterminism"but wasn't satisfied about the delivered information.
I would like to ask the forum the following :
Is the :Uncertainity Pinciple still valid in science ,in quantum mechanics?
Is the same still valid in astronomy ( black holes) as proved by Stephen Hawking?
What happened to the Genetic Drift in Byology ?
The answers are important to atheism and would do a lot of good to be clarified.
