I wouldn't call the flow of a river blind so I don't call evolution blind(unless it is evolution without a fitness paradigm....like Dawkins' random sentence generator....but that is evolution only in a very strict sense....not a Darwinian sense).

What sighted force is causing the river to flow? Or are you just attempting to call natural causes sighted, thus turning this entire thread into a pointless exercise in misapplying definitions?
