Is evolution a process that occurs entirely by random-chance?

Question

No &ndash; evolution does not happen; all species were created at once.
No &ndash; evolution occurs, but species evolve in a non-random, predetermined way.
No &ndash; although some evolutionary mechanisms are random, others are not.
Yes &ndash; evolution is a completely random process, but given enough time, new species evolve.

Which one of these? THanks

Answer

Evolution is a religious concept: you are compelled to pretend to believe it if you want a career in that subject. Every time you ask any question about how evolution actually works they either tell you some baloney that explains nothing, or else they shout insults at you until you give up and go away.

Answer

No &ndash; although some evolutionary mechanisms are random, others are not.
