the predators aren't?

The hawk does not have an aim, reason, or purpose other than to eat. The hawk eats what it can, it is not implementing Natural Selection since Natural Selection is an observation after the fact.

Natural Selection is random because it has no (before the fact) aim, reason, or purpose - it just is.

Natural Selection is not a force or power - it is an observation in the past tense.

There is no discernable aim, reason or purpose to gravity. Would you suggest that gravity is random?
