What you fail to note is that you have just presented a teleological example as a 'much better analogy for how evolution works'. Are you now claiming that evolution is a teleological process that has goals? Please show where these goals come from?

I didn't take that from Coyoteman's statement. Rather, think of the sixes as a positive mutation for survival. Rolling an individual six helps a member of a species survive, so the six doesn't get discarded for the next roll.

What constitutes a six varies from species to species and environment. A benefit in a given environment may be nuetral or a hindrance in some other setting.

Is there an 'eye' goal, a 'brain' goal, a 'human' goal, etc, etc etc that 'evolution' is reaching for?

No. But mutations that take a species in the eye, brain or human direction may be helpful to that species' survival.

And this trial and error/feedback mechanism tends to discredit the mathematicians who calculate odds that purport to show that evolution is impossible.

Or as one poster put it here a few years ago, the odds against evolution are 1⁷²⁰. LOL
