> "EVOLVE BY CHANCE" IS SELF-CONTRADICTORY - I HOPE ALL HERE REALIZE THAT!

Uh, this isn't really the place to discuss it, but I cannot allow
that statement to go unchallenged.

It is precisely that it is all by chance that makes it so interesting.
We are the result of billions of years random mutations.  The 'good'
ones survived to reproduce, the 'bad' ones didn't.  Such a system
can't help but produce progressively more advanced creatures.

I will not argue this further in this newsgroup.
