But you still want to eliminate "random". Why?

For the same reason Dr. Shapiro does, it doesn't appear to be random.

There is a lot that appears to be random and I'd be greatly surprised if Shapiro is blind to that. The question still remains, what bothers you about random? If God can't be in the random, there's a lot of the universe not under God's instruction.
