Incidentally the very title of Spetner's book, "Not By Chance" had my lip curling and I almost didn't bother to investigate anything about it once I had read its title. It is a common creationist travesty to say that evolution proceeds solely by chance. Nothing could be further from the truth.
100, another prime number!

I understand but both sides are (IMO) guilty of creating conversational chaos on this point. It is indeed essential to Darwinism that the mutations that provide the source for the new genetic material ARE nondirected. When creationists talk about "random" or "chance" they don't mean to discount the predictable impacts of natural selection. At least many of them don't. I think think sometimes the evolutionists take failure to use the prescribed terms for stupidity.
