No shit evolution is controlled. But not by an intelligence.
I find it funny that people always think evolution is "blind luck". It's not. It's natural selection. There is a difference. And if you disagree, please give me a rational argument. Let's see... Creature gains a genetic mutation. This mutation either helps it or doesn't. It doesn't, the creature goes... If it does, the creature eventually out-produces its ancestors, or simply lives with them.
Aye. And look at the sky. Oh, how many stars dyu reckon there are in the universe, now? Let's say... I dunno... 1 000 000 000 000 000? That's pretty conservative... Now, Let's say 0.1% of stars develop planets? That still leaves, what, 1 000 000 000 000 stars... And then maybe only 0.1% of those stars have planets that fall within the correct orbit for them to possibly develop life? Oh, look, 1 (short) billion stars left... Quite a good chance of life to develop, don't you think? The actual chances might have been smaller. The original number of stars is probably considerably larger.Originally Posted by Killer
