There may be a degree of randomness in some things, thomas. I don't fear or "dislike" randomness; in fact my statement you used for your post above acknowledges the same exists--and in exciting ways. I do believe we are not mere products of random chance, your wordy critique notwithstanding.

Re: wordy. I do believe we are not mere products of random chance. eh? Having shown that we are all results of a great deal of random chance, you assert you "do not believe" in it.

Do you really believe that every spermatozoon and ovum were uniquely, intelligently directed, and purposely made? Do you believe this for every one of the 6 billion humans now living? What is the problem with accepting randomness being in effect in the millions of years past?

I don't really know the answer to your sperm question. I do think every life has a purpose, a reason. I don't think every life is purely accidental, and I don't think life itself is accidental.

When you accused me of a "dislike" of random events, I made a statement denying it, but you seem to still want to believe the same. I can't make you believe me, but I can state my belief again:
