[MD] Metaphysical issues: DQ

[Krimel]

God not only plays dice, He also sometimes throws the dice where they cannot
be seen. 
- Stephen Hawking

[Krimel]
I think your would be hard pressed to find physicists who don't have
something like this view.

Not to worry, Chris. DQ is what science calls "chance," "random," or 
"spontaneous."  Fits right into scientific understanding and method. As the 
astrophysicist Arthur Eddington said, "Something unknown is doing we don't 
know what." At least he admitted it. Many scientists won't. But that's 
their problem, not ours.
