Name me one person who has suggested that it came about by sheer accident.

So, you're saying that random mutation is not an accident ?

Mutation isn't necessarily random and it is only one component of evolution. Selection is as deliberate and as non-accidental as anything can be.

No, I'm not saying that.

By definition, a random mutation is an accident.

But the implication that a cell appeared because of a single accident is absurd.

No one suggests that random mutation created the first cell.
