I just do not buy random mutation as a mechanism for biological change, mainly due to the increasing complexity and large changes required to get us from a single cell to here. It seems preposterous on its face from a common sense point of view.

Its your right not to agree. Its also quite possible you're wrong. You claim scientists are very often wrong, and many of them have probably looked at this particular question in some detail. If you don't agree with them, do you have an alternative?

Not really.

I think the key is in finding what triggers a positive mutation. The process somehow has a better feedback mechanism than natural selection and certain types of high frequency waves can cause mutations, but I cannot be sure. The key is in finding what triggers the mutation.

I think they think it is random because they do not know what it is yet. But something in the environment, or changes in the environment direct the mutation. It could be a force like gravity or something. And yes I could very well be wrong. But it could be something totally naturalistic, some sort of energy we have not detected yet.
