That pondering tells you nothing about it’s origins. My point stands that evolutionary theory is based on sheer luck
It's based on the idea that an organism's reproductive fitness sifts out mutations that are detrimental to reproductive fitness and conserves mutations that are beneficial to an organism's reproductive fitness, causing them to become more frequent in the population of that species. Calling that sheer luck is like saying it's random chance that sediment settles into such orderly layers. Mutations are somewhat random, the 'sifting process' turns that randomness into order.
