The only way evolution isn't blind is if you equivocate following certain scientific principles with intention. I'm sure you would consider gravity to be a blind force, but if I throw you out the window numerous times, you will follow a similar path each time. In this case the "forces" are survivability and reproduction, and given that circumstances are similar all over the earth, what is beneficial to those is also similar.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
