I agree that random selection does not explain everything but in my view god explains even less. Also, random selection is not meant to be a theory on origins but when it comes to origins I would say like any sensible person that I just don't know how the universe came to be or how life itself began. But when It comes to evolution through the process of natural selection, although we don't have all the pieces to the puzzle it makes a heck of alot more sense to me than to relegate my lack of knowledge to a god. To do so I would have to be convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that this god exists. And so far the only way that we can do that is through faith which in my opinion is not a valid method of evaluating beliefs, or concepts.

There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
