Not Logic but Evidence
The demonstratable [sic] fact and the direct evidence that dead people talk to no one is not assertion or quibbling.
Exactly!* And this is evidence obtained from the real world. It is not derivable from logic without an examination of the real world.
* only based on a particularly restricted definition of "tell tales". Which DB has been forced to more to by the evidence presented.

Evolution's Axioms
Randomness?
That sure doesn't look much like a statement of any axiom I have ever seen. Perhaps you could explain that?
The only place where a random process is core to the evolutionary model is the random occurrence of mutations in the genome. This is known to be the case and is tested for so it is not an axiom.
Perhaps you have some other idea about it?
