Or read C.S. Lewis' "Mere Christianity", by the atheist turned Christian. I, like him, find it much harder to believe randomness led to our universe's complexities, as opposed to creation. But then, secular humanists worship the human mind, and especially their own intellect, above all.

The laws of nature don't operate randomly.

It's interesting that Lewis accepted the fact of evolution, that is common descent.

I don't see how your or CS Lewis' perception of the universe changes the actual nature of the universe. What you/Lewis believe is irrelevant to reality. I'm sure people had a hard time believing the Earth is round, not flat.

I've read it, and I'm a committed Christian. But the question was about the science of evolution.
