PS Evolution doesn't even propose randomness as the cause of speciation. Variability (along a multiplicity of dimension) is built into reproduction, and environmental pressures then act on that variability in very definite directions.
You didn't read the same books I read. Evolution is based on randomness, beginning with random environmental happenings.
When Creationists suggest that evolution proposes a random process by which species come into existence, what they typically mean is that it’s like exploding a factory and having a 747 Jetliner assemble itself among the wreckage. Evolution isn’t random, though, because it’s a process of adaptation to specific pressures applied by the environment. Adaptation is possible due to a certain degree of heritable variability in reproduction. To suggest that this makes it random is absurd.
What you’re proposing is that the absence of intelligent design is de facto random.
