Let's say that only one sequence of ten cards is acceptable, and let's give us several million years to draw it. Let's also say that, in every draw, if you get a card in a workable position on the sequence you get to keep it there, even if the other nine cards are out of sequence, and bring it through to the next drawing.
Now you've got something closer to the natural selection process. What do you think the chances are of getting the right sequence in millions of years now?
Yeah, but natural selection applies to replicating systems, which is not what we are talking about. We are talking about a protein forming, not a gene developing as an organism reproduces. So you don't get to keep the functional card, because without all the functional cards you have no replication and no selection.
You are talking about magical gods, lol. You don't get to demand evidence for evolution while simultaneously shirking the responsibility of providing evidence for the supernatural.
