Re: Final definition
In terms of mutations, the entire process is clearly not so random as evos have suggested, and in fact, may not even be random at all since we really have no way to know, as far as science, what the Intelligent Cause of the universe planned and knew about evolution, except that it is logical to consider that an Intelligence that advanced could predict what would occur with considerable accuracy, and perhaps even governs what occurs moment to moment.
Hey Randman, welcome to Theistic Evolution
But just because there is a pattern to the randomness does not prove that there is an intelligence behind it. Some of us merely believe it. Patterns of incredible depth and complexity are commonplace in both mathematics and nature, and have totally understood and naturalistic origins.
