It is something I posted previously:

Do you believe in accidentalism? (Creation vs. evolution)

I have a philosophical bias against what I call the "haps": The root word of Happen, Happy, Happenstance is hap, which is another word for luck. I heard it over & over again in NON-SCIENCE classes that we got here by chance, we evolved by chance, and that it was "proven" science. I presently think the evo haps stuff is baloney, the abiogenesis haps stuff is even more baloney, and that all of this stuff belongs in a philosophy class, where there is a constant dialog about inductive pursuits, what you call "something we don't know is true".

So you've decided you don't like evolution based on what you heard about it from people who know as little about it as you do.

Great. Just great.
