There are no random numbers, only random processes. As you imply, once a number is given, it's no longer random.

But..but...but...Dembski says one can detect design. I designed one of those numbers using a perfectly reproducible algorithm. You should be able to tell it's not random just from the sequence of digits, even if my thinking in designing it is not obvious to you.

(I was going to give digits 1001 through 1021 of pi. Then I realized it would be vulnerable to a google search.)
