<< However you eventually define "random", you are going to end up with two

"variations" in organisms occurred according to some presently unknown plan
or purpose. Most ID supporters argue that natural selection acts to ensure
stasis and has contributed nothing toward the creation of complexity. This
is a legitimate difference of opinion, for which evidence for either side
can
be cited. There is no way for either to be conclusively demonstrated at this
time. I don't see how redefining terms might contribute to resolving the
controversy. >>
I refer you to an interesting paper that shows that the ID supporters
arguments are not supported by fact. actually they are contradicted by fact
