Bob, you are wrong and you don't understand evolution. Evolution is a massively parallel search through an effectively infinite and ever-changing search-space that heads towards local minima. There are more geneitic operators than just mutation you know! Cross-over is a very organised methodical plod up hill in the search-space. The problem with corssover on its own is that it gets trapped in local maxima so what mutation does is give a random push every now and then to open up more possible directions.

As for how you get order from diss-order. Simple, you give it energy. I'd strongly suggest you have a read of "Complexity: the Emerging Science at the Edge of Order & Chaos" by M. Mitchell Waldrop. It's not a book about evolution really but it gives an excellent insight into how you can get order from chaos and also details some nice experimental work that shows the ideas in action. Also, the whole universe does not testify to order. The whole universe testifies to order out of chaos.

My belief in evolution is based 100% in observation and experimentation. You may not see the evidence but I see it all around me. You may believe in little cliches like "the universe testifies to order" but that doesn't stack up with observation at all.

Seriously, give the Waldrop book a read, it's a very well written book. It builds on the events and theories in another great book called simply "Chaos" by James Gleik that I think everyone should read. It rather shatters the idea that order is the norm and shows you the chaos everywhere you look in the world.
