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.


Give it up!
