Daniel, nobody believes that at all. There was extensive intervention at
all times from mutation and natural selection. The combination is a
powerful, extremely directional mechanism, which points at the most
successful outcome in the circumstances. There is nothing random about it,
in the way you describe.
I think you have just shown that you understand nothing at all about
evolution. Maybe you should read something about it. "The Blind Watchmaker"
would be the one for you.
