You conveniently left out the part that it all happened via sheer happenstance,

WRONG. Selection is the opposite of sheer happenstance. Yes, mutations are random. But harmful mutations get selected against very quickly -- the organism will die. A panther that is bright red will be easily spotted by its potential prey, and will starve to death. Helpful mutations spread very quickly. A panther that has a slightly more camouflaged pattern will be more likely to survive than its siblings, and pass on its genes.

There's nothing random at all about "survival of the fittest."

You apparently didn’t get the memo...no intelligence, no purpose, no design is allowed.

The random I was referring to was origins, but you knew that.

Evolutionists cling to the idea that a single cell is responsible for all we know over ga-jillions of years with no guidance.

There’s simply no spinning out of it...WAAAAAAAY too many of your fellow liberals have stomped their feet about it and have seen to it by now.

I also suggest you watch your back as far as your fellow evos are concerned, if you venture too far backwards with your ideas about survival of the fittest...you know...not being random and all!

I mean when you start asserting that first cell wasn’t random...hold the phone!

And...DUCK!
