How are "unguided" and "random" different? Evolutionists often bristle at the description of evolution through natural selection as "random", but I have yet to understand what their objection is. I know that natural selection is considered an orderly process, but aren't the mutations supposed to occur at random? --Ed Poor Talk 12:44, 8 April 2008 (EDT)

I think its because if you mix 2 processes, one random and one not random, the ending result is not random (like how puzzle pieces come scattered randomly inside a box, but a non-random human arranges them into an ordered picture, however in this case you need an intelligent entity that doesn't fit evolution).

We need a strict definition. It's not something which is "said" to be anything. Either the process was guided, or it was not. It's a bright line distinction. --Ed Poor Talk 14:08, 8 April 2008 (EDT)
