Would you say Usain bolt is the fastest man in the world by pure chance? Or Klitchko the best boxer by chance? No, these people happen to be the best at their sport and they 'survive' elimination, time after time. Think of evolution from the same perspective, ie something happens that eliminates the worst of the group until you are left with the most successful.

Survival of the fittest ....please
How did the fittest get there in the first place ? chance and chance mutations ? not random do me a favour !
Evolution is all about random chance.....ah the giraffe survived and grew a longer neck so it survived by grazing at high level......oh but the low level grazers survived as well.....let me think

since when did training become evolution ?
Evolution depends on two things found in our environment. 1. Mutations at gene level (making people have longer legs, shorter legs, or better eyes, or different hair colour etc etc) and 2. Limited resources (not enough food to go round, fussy mates, predators catching those who cant escape etc etc)
This type of environment means those best at surviving pass on their 'mutation' to offspring that will have their own 'slightly mutated' offspring and the cycle continues until you are left with a human who looks pretty well suited to surviving his or her environment.
If you don't believe in evolution fair enough, but if you think the theory of evolution explains life by a series of unlikely random events then you haven't understood it at all.

I'm afraid your at a total loss here..............evolution is all about random events. The supposed origin of life was a random event.
mutations are a random event. Longer legs better eyesight etc etc is NOT evolution !!! If I go weightlifting and my muscles get bigger you'd call that evolution, it isn't.
You need to do a bit more reading on the subject to understand what evolution actually means and how its theorized it could have worked,
You've quoted examples that are nothing more than adaptation's of species.
When it comes to molecular Biology and how the first cells could have evolved Michael Behe studied 4,000 molecular biological books looking for a hypothesis of how this could have occurred ..........he found nothing
offering an explanation..........its one thing looking at a pig and man and comparing skeletal structures. eyes ears nose mouth tongue and seeing variations of a theme. Survival of the fittest offers no explanation of how life originated and the fittest and weakest got here, none at all !!!!...........a total random event if you believe in evolution.
Life came from non life if you believe in evolution, how that first cell managed to reproduce itself is another mystery.

Do you think that different social classes mutate? Thus the toff will evolve into toffs and the oiks into oiks?
Daft buggah.
