Hi Woody

> Einstein said there is nothing random in the universe.

I would tend to have the same thought. We tend only to perceive 
randomness because we don't have the tools to predict it all. Some we 
manage, but humans are still pretty terrible about, for example, the 
weather (and every time I hope that it's getting better it seems to be 
as wrong as ever!).

The ninja were said to have done a lot of things. However, I know what 
you're getting at, and I imagine random walking would be insanely 
difficult and never absolutely random. However, the prey, being human, 
would be fooled by this approximation of randomness.

Matter has to come together somehow. Clue: if things are to replicate 
and survive, the information needs to be stored efficiently. In fact, 
defined as opposed to described. Have you read The Blind Watchmaker? If 
not, it may help you understand.

How does the universal presence of mathematics prove anything?
