The
dice allude to the theory of evolution, whereby presumed "higher"
organisms result from happenstances: gradual and/or catastrophic climate
change, and random mutations. Stephen Jay Gould, Richard Dawkins and many
other paleontologists/evolutionists believe that evolution, "run
again" from early conditions but with slight changes in details,
would be unlikely to produce humans. Who of us presumes to say that the
greatest flowering of culture and biosphere would be as ingloriously short
as we are now experiencing?
