There is *no* evidence that quantum processes are "random".

The wave equation is deterministic:

If this is true, then my argument that evolution is NOT random is obviously correct. I myself am agnostic regarding the ideas of many-worlds or multiple universes.

Here's another point of view on the determinancy of the wave equation:

Determinism, quantum mechanics and classical physics
