Explain this portion; what exactly is your position on laws? I'm not sure I understand.

Nature doesn't actively throw dice until something good happens. Rather, stuff happens naturally, and then just by random chance, something comes up that just happens to work really well (compared to something else), and because of that will be more pronounced than that something else and dominate. Very abstract and simplistic but hopefully should put him in the right direction instead of thinking that Mother Nature is a literal sentient being.

The fact about evolution is that while the mutations are random, over time the selection isn't. What gets selected is the organisms best adapted to the environmental conditions in existence.
