I guess they are holding it for "prime time." God.

Scott Peterson Trial
By Chad Evans on U.S. News

The final verdict of the Scott Peterson trial is set to be released at 4 p.m. EST today. My guess is that it will either be a mistrial or not guilty. I would side with not guilty based upon the judge not wanting to declare a mistrial through all of the irregularities that have already occured.

The final jury has only been deliberating for a little over one day, therefore it is reasonable to assume there were not “problems” with finding Peterson not guilty. Naturally, it’s beyond a reasonable doubt and I’m not sure if you could find Peterson guilty beyond a reasonable doubt at this point.

In one way your author is quite right, it is not a Scientific Theory, for the simple reason that Scientific Theories speculate on physical mechanism as the causes of things. However, it is a Philosophical Theory, not a religious doctrine, having to do with the credibility of the perceived natural order occurring purely through random events, without implicit "intentionality" in the unfolding of events, however conceived or generated. As such, noticing that evolution wins by default because it is formulated "scientifically", but that it may be philosophically questionable, is reasonable.
