Lying “Creationists” #1

Lying creationists keep telling us that The Theory of Evolution means “everything is randomness” and that this is reason to believe in an “intelligent designer.” Well, evolution is about as random as losing money at a casino. If one goes to the casino everything might first appear to be random – there are randomly shuffled cards, spinning roulette wheels, and dice being thrown. Yet there must be something making operation of the casino profitable. The something which makes the operation profitable is a set of underlying rules which favor the house. Thus on average each visitor looses much more money than they “win.” This pays the electric bill for all that glitz. Evolution also has underlying rules which favor certain outcomes. One could consider that each new offspring and each new seedling as a “roll of the dice” by mother nature. Except that mother nature is rolling load dice! The dice she rolls are heavily weighted in favor of genes and combinations of genes which have worked in the past. So yes, evolution involves a sort of “randomness” but nothing like the “randomness” claimed by creationists.
