If evolution isn't random, then what is it? An organism cannot change itself to better fit it's environment. An specimen must have some mutation that allows it a better chance to survive and pass on it's genes. And that mutation certainly isn't planned or programmed. Come on, say it with me, it's "random". An accident, a farce, an anomaly, a freak, an oddball.

But wait! DNA itself is designed to be self healing and to resist mutation. And despite the thousands of generations of careful selective breeding (which will easily represent millions of years of natural selection), a dog remains essentially a freaky looking wolf and not a new breed.

Quiz me this: If the furthest galaxies are 13 billion lightyears away and the age of the universe is 14 billion years old and since the light is in the visible range, that means that the galaxy is traveling away from the earth at a relatively slow pace.

Now, assuming that the earth and that galaxy are at opposite ends of the universe and both are equal distance from the center of the "Big Bang" (7 billion l.y. from the cehter), then the light from that distant galaxy we can observe today left that galaxy 13 billion years ago, i.e. it had to be 13 billion l.y. from where earth is now 13 billion years ago. That gives it 1 billion years to move from the BB to it's current position.

How did the galaxy manage to move 7 billion light years from the center of the "Big Bang" in only 1 billion years without violating Einstein's theory of relativity?

the universe does not have an "opposite end"
