Now, the entire Darwinian model ( so called "evolution") depends upon randomness as it's bedrock foundation. It's randomness that causes mutation, and it is mutation that the evolution theory depends on as the change mechanism.
The randomness idea is comforting to those who might not believe in a plan of any Kind or Type. You know what I am getting at.
Randomness is the central underlying theorem of Darwinism.
To question randomness is to question everything in the theory. And it is a theory. It may partially explain some phenomena. It's just plain lazy to assume Darwin explains everything.
DNA is anything but random. Introns contain vast non-random sequences that are as yet undecoded. For now, we simply label introns
JUNK DNA.
Introns science is in its infancy.
The idea that DNA contains all the coding a priori for what we currently call "random mutations" is at least as good as any competing theory that attempts to describe parts of the Way Things Really Work.
It continues to amaze me how dogmatic people can rabidly be about their current beliefs.
As for the origin of life on earth, consider:
Cosmic Ancestry
Few religionists (including the set of all dogmatic fundamentalists, darwinists, etc) will buy this. Or even consider it. The idea is a threat to their nice convenient worldview. The idea actually supports both camps. Imagine that.
This is just ONE THEORY of MANY theories that are competing for your attention.
And we know there is
no perception without attention.
