The voice over didn't actually say that. The only time the word random was
used was when discussing the random mutations that can occur when genetic
material is passed on from one generation to the next.

The programme started out with the IC position and finished with the
evolutionist one, concluding along the way that IC is anything but science.
It's a pity you missed the last ten minutes. As I said earlier, Behe's face
as he recited his claims (and by the time of the interview, these claims has
been long since completely discredited) was a picture - he knew he was
talking rubbish and knew the audience knew he was talking rubbish.
Priceless.
