| LOL. Evolution, a mere "theory" - just like gravity. As you are or should be aware, the word "theory" has a different meaning in science, than in common usage. A theory in science is a hypothesis that is capable of being proven by repeatable empirical tests.
The creationist's focus on random processes is misplaced. Very little in the universe ais really random. Processes may not be predictable, yet they are not necessarily random. There is nothing unreasonable in that the universe in general, and living organisms in particular are complex and varied. Complexity follows from natural characteristics. Nothing more or less.
Personally I am amazed by the simplicity of the natural world. In the late 1660s Newton could predict the motion of the planets with remarkable accuracy, using only simple calculus. His laws of motion are wonderously simple and almost elegant.
There need be no conflict with religion, unless the religous insist on attacking science. Galileo was humbled by the Inquisition for daring to argue that the earth circled the sun. Now it seems ridiculous. I am sure the current attack on science by the creationists will appear equally silly in time.
