That RANDOM changes occured over time.
Random means "Chance" and chance is the opposite of choice.
Chance is having no intellegence added.
The development of all tech. is the result of applied intellegence.
Even the Pinto.
You can call development that we do "Evolution" but that is not what darwin proposed.
Actually no.
Random chance event happen all the time but whether they are beneficial to the organism is anything but chance. Non-beneficial change stops at the afflicted individual, or within a couple of generations.
Beneficial change, however, increases the chances of mating success for the individual allowing them to pass their genes on to the next generation allowing a species to slowly change and adapt to its environment.
What you are (wilfully?) additionally ignoring is time. Evolution is a drawn out process happening over millennia. Things like Car design happen over a matter of a few years.
In those circumstances intelligence is required to take the place of evolutionary change though natural selection.
As you are an engineer please advise as to any and all products you have worked on so I know which ones to avoid.
Many thanks
