That's a strawman. Evolutionists don't call cells random accidents.

*sigh* Science should never have been divorced from philosophy.

Hello.... if it isn't a accident (random accident being somewhat redundant), then the only other option is that there was intent.

What was the intent? Where did it come from? What was the mechanism (which inherently implies design) behind it?

First, you need to show me where evolutionists say a cell is a random accident and nothing more.

Not true. Look at the path of a stream. Is it an accident? No, it's heavily constrained by the landscape it flows through. In fact, its path is inevitable, given the nature of the soil, placement of the rocks, and so on. Does that mean there was intent? Did the rock say, "I want this stream to narrow, so I'm going to plunk myself down here"? Did Someone Else put it there so that the stream would narrow? No, the location of the rock is likewise constrained by the forces acting on it--it's not an accident that it wound up in the stream, but its location doesn't demand intent either.

Is the RANDOM shuffling of maternal and paternal chromosomes during the formation of reproductive cells an accident?

Is the RANDOM radioactive decay of an isotope an accident?

Completely a false dichotomy that either something is RANDOM and therefore an “accident” or there was some “intent”.

Do you not know your Bible?

“the dice are cast into the lap, but every result is from the Lord”.

Is a dice roll an accident, or just random?

"Science was born as a result and consequence of philosophy; it cannot survive without a philosophical (particularly epistemological) base. If philosophy perishes, sicence will be next to go."
