I thought you had something like that in mind, Neo. If evolution is in fact producing change in a linear upward direction to ever more complex and perfected life forms, it becomes difficult to view it as random and chaotic. The theory of evolution is itself under some clouds. Darwin said he hoped that eventually transitional fossils would be found. To my knowledge, there is not a museum in the world that has one single specimen of a fossil in a stage of transition from one species to another.

You don't understand evolution at all. It's not random in any sense of the word (although you might have been taught in school that it was the non-random selection of random gene changes- but even that isn't the thinking in the scientific community anymore- it's a much more active process...)
