Just because you think it can't be random doesn't mean that it can't be. That's an argument from personal incredulity, which is a logical fallacy.

Plus it isn't random as troutman points out; that so many people find evolution implausible based on randomness is an indication of the failure of the education system to properly educate about evolution.

Ultimatly, I believe in God, and evolution together. Science makes sense. To me, so does God.
To me that's fine, if someone wants to believe on faith that God originated things on faith, I have no problem with that. With the caveat that things were done in such a way to appear completely natural since there's no evidence of design or an external agent.

Of course I can use the same reasoning to propose that the universe was created six minutes ago in such a way that it appears old and we all have our memories, and from a scientific point of view that holds the same merit.
