[QUOTE="FrumiousBandersnatch, post: 75013637, member: 241055"] It doesn't really make any difference what you call it - it's trial and error in that every generation has mutations that may be advantageous or disadvantageous, and the disadvantageous ones are unlikely to spread through the population. The 'trial' is seeing which ones persist and the 'error' is the ones that don't persist - which, in the long term, is the majority. It's not random because successful variations are [I]selected[/I] for (or, conversely, unsuccessful variations are [I]selected[/I] out). Whether or not you think some entity designed the process doesn't change how it operates. [/QUOTE]
