Natural selection is not fucking random, assholes. Jesus Christ am I sick of hearing this RW meme. Darwin did not propose randomness as the basis of his theory. Natural selection is entirely determinative. It is just that the determination about what lives and what dies are based on natural, physical reality and not some invisible friend at the drawing board. Mutations are random. Natural selection is not. If a mutation hinders a critter's ability to find food, it will die out. Nothing that predictible can be characterized as random.

Random mutations alone cannot explain the development of life. This random list of letters cannot survive as a word.

Use the editing power of natural selection and it makes a bit more sense.
