I beleive in God, and God's creation of the Universe..
Second, I believe God created evolution..
I have no I repeat, no problem with the existance of God and Evolution in the same universe..
I don't see evolution as an attempt to discount the existence of God, I see it as an attempt to understand how God created the universe and everything in it..
That said, let's get back to randomicity..
All life has certain priorities, the foremost are survival and reproduction..
This fact (FACT) alone precludes the idea that evolution is a "random" process..
That which survives has the (an) opportunity to determine the characteristics of the following generation(s)..by passing on it's genes...
That which has the best chances for procreation, (health, choice of mate, health of said mate) are most likely to do so, and to produce healthy offspring, with the best survival characteristics..
Often, the environment in which that life exists can have a determining effect on which characteristics are emminently "survival" and "health" characteristics, and when (not if, when) that suited life "exhibits" certain feaures which identify it as more suited to survive, said life will increase it's chances at mating, and therefore, passing on it's survivability, health, preferable mating features, etc..
This is, in essence, evolution.. in it's simplist form..
As you can plainly see, it is not random..
I have pointed out the "external factors" that influence that life, and will, in Time, differentiate it from other life forms...
It has nothing to do with monkeys on typewriters...
It is not random..
It is evolution..
And like I said at the beginning, it does Not Exclude God in any way..
A God or Being, whatever or however you wish to describe It/Him/Her that can create a Universe, create the Physical Laws that govern Mass, Energy, Gravity, the orbits of Galaxies, Stars and planets, That created Elements in solid liquid and gas, and that created Life itself, is surely intelligent enough to create an orderly way in which to do all that and more...
Look to your Bible..
Man cannot comprehend God..
I suppose, if God had "wanted" to create Man out of the blue, God could very well have done so..
But, that would be like an "afterthought" wouldn't it??
If God were to create a Universe, and a place for man to live, called Earth, and all the Cosmos, wouldn't God just "do it" ???
Wouldn't God Just Do It, All At Once, and simply let the process happen?
