When scientists talk about 'random' phenomena, they don't mean that these events have no cause or that they are utterly inexplicable. The idea of randomness in the context of science refers to the lack of intent or purpose behind a phenomenon.
I started this thread to explore the notion that design doesn't necessarily have to come from an intelligent human agent with the intent to create something. Design could also emerge from an undirected process following mechanistic rules which in and of themselves could not be said to have intent or purpose.
