Just for the record, when I made the original comment, which was originally against teleological interpretations of evolution, all I implied is that the theory of evolution doesn't tell us what the species are going to evolve into. It wasn't originally about the determinism/randomness philosophical debate, but if you guys want to discuss that, fine by me. I just hope that no one thinks that this is an ideological matter rather than a philosophical one. That is, neither the Extropy Institute or the WTA or anyone else needs to take a position on the matter.
