[Frumious Bandersnatch]

Uh, no, that's the whole point of science and the search for explanatory theories...

Oh I grant you that.  The problem is that such experiments as I have described are too often assumed to have proven that the results were obtained by random chance, when in fact, nothing of the sort should be construed.

My entire thema on this subject is that while I don't know if evolution is viable or not, not one person who believes in random chance as the causitive factor can prove it experimentally since such experiments are always set up by intelligent design.

For that matter, we might ask ourselves: "Just how random is random chance?"
