Stochastic Man (30 page)
About forty years ago French scientist and philosopher named Jacques Monod wrote, “Man knows at last that he is alone in the indifferent immensity of the universe, whence he has emerged by chance.”
I believed that once. You may believe it now.
But examine Monod’s statement in the light of a remark that Albert Einstein once made. “God does not throw dice,” Einstein said.
Once of those statements is wrong. I think I know which one.
