> Evolution is the process of natural selection. Half right.  Evolution has (at least) two components: 
(1) genetic mutation, whereby genetic variety results from 
"random"* mutations of genes & 
(2) natural selection, whereby the genes of some individual's 
have an advantage over others for reproductive success. 
[* we really don't know if they are random, 
we just don't have an explanation for them.] [Krimel]
> Natural selection is purely and simply a matter of chance. 



. 
.Wrong half.  We have an explanation for natural selection 
but not genetic mutation [see above].
