Science produces results; religion produces platitudes. The scientific method has been proven over and over to produce truthful results, so whether or not there is a reason for the uniformity does not invalidate the fact that we can detect uninformity.
Science does produce results and consistent ones too. We all have the same evidence but its interpreted according to our personal worldviews because of presuppositions. Allow me to remind you that science DISCOVERS the uniformity ALREADY in place.

They respond that it tastes good and you respond with the question of why it tastes good. Having no working knowledge of the brain and its senses, they respond that they don't know, but every time they taste strawberry ice cream, it tastes good. Therefore, they have inferred that every time they eat ice cream it will taste good. What you are proposing is the child should stop eating the ice cream until they can prove why it tates good, and that since they can't prove why, the ice cream tastes good because god exists.
Science produces results; religion produces platitudes.
Am I talking to a small child???
I would expect arbitrariness from a small child but not from someone attempting to defend their faith in evolution. Don't you have justification for your beliefs???
BTW: my favorite is mint chocolate chip ice cream with lots of hersey's chocolate!
James Holmes acted consistent with what evolution teaches. He evolved from an animal, and when he murdered those people, He acted like one. You can't say he's wrong since evolution made him that way.
