Evolution does not rely on blind chance. Mutations may be random, but the selection process is anything but.

The only situation in which blind chance is a viable option is when there are zero data to input. This is an extremely rare occurences. People who go by their 'gut feel' are actually using the  well established sub-conscious processing power of their brains to do much what it says in my signature below.

How right you are Ophiolite. When we detach from our thinking brain and get in touch with our greater inner self we tap in all our knowledge without all the self doubt and fear of being wrong.  This is were all true creatively comes from.

What you do speaks so loudly that I cannot hear what you say.
