To me it is just plain silly to think that all of this came about by chance. The probability of that is beyond impossible.
Incidentally, nobody has ever shown that one species can change into another species. That is scientifically observable evidence of something.

Randomness if used for statistical purposes but very few belief in chance as an actual force in the universe.
“Incidentally, nobody has ever shown that one species can change into another species.”
It happens so slowly that by the time it happens again with large organisms our civilization will likely cease to exist. Human science hasn’t existed long enough to record previous population changes of that magnitude.
That is one of the most bogus arguments raised against evolution and natural selection. Since no two generations of anything are identical every species and member of every species is by definition transitional in the evolutionary process. If changes are gradual they are not recognized as evolution by creationist. If changes are major the relationship is denied.
Hmmm...every candidate of integrity and honour turns into the same sellout when they're actually secure in the role...we've all witnessed that.
Me, I'll stay with evolution - it and Christianity are not mutually exclusive.
Heard a good analogy the other day..namely that evolution bringing “all this” about by chance is akin to a crane in a junkyard picking up random parts here and there and forming a fully built *working* PC.
