dhw: "I have never, ever described evolution by the processes of natural selection as being the appearance of things by chance" EH?

I would prefer that it will be much longer. I think I'm having some definite influence on dhw:-dhw: "It is an argument from complexity AND incredulity, because neither you nor I can believe that such complexity could arise by chance."-I am sure that dhw fully understands that natural selection is not a chance mechanism, but what is presented to NS is by chance, if Darwin's theory is to be accepted as still presented by the Darwin folks. It is my point that the newer discoveries of adaptation mechanisms in the genome are purposeful, and reduce chance in the evolutionary process. Which makes my proposal of an underlying teleology more likely.
