The why stuff is just a trap for snaring the gullible. So is the meaning guff. Stuff just happens.
I do not understand your second paragraph. What do you understand by "random"?
Well done!
Just think of the misfortunes that might have befallen any one of your ancestors and prevented you from happening.
Every organism is a fluke. That is something worth pondering.
There is no why, but there is a marvellous abundance of how.
I suggest that you beware of the word "purpose". Evolution has no purpose: changes happen (mutations), some persist, some don't. If a configuration can reproduce, it may persist, or maybe not if it is unlucky. History is full of contingency.
Seeing that the scriptures are just ancient folk tales and propaganda, any sensible person would expect these events to occur.
Not impressive ... at all!!
What about natural evils: floods, earthquakes, volcanoes, droughts etc? People do not cause those.
What about the constant, horrific suffering in nature? People do not cause that either.
Reality exhibits only pitiless indifference. No gods to be seen.
Bah, science works from factual observation, religion from superstition. Evolution is a matter of science: your challenge is a dishonest dodge.
In any case, evolution is just a simple algorithm: if you have replication with variation and selection, you will have change through time. It does...
Even if there are accurate prophesies, Genesis is not therefore shown to be accurate. You need to produce evidence from reality to support creationism, not ancient fables.
So, since the bible is clearly nonsensical in science matters, you disqualify Christians from participating in discussions that involve science?
Really?
Your problem is that the bible is not authoritative in matters of science. To advance your case, you must provide actual evidence, not the scribblings of ignorant savages.
Yet, the notion that one could obtain that absolution by oneself is a recent development. After all, the clerics still run the Sunday schools (or their equivalent), where the vile idea of original sin is instilled.
It still keeps the pews and collection plates full.
