   Yes, and so it does.  That is why alligators are relatively unchanged   
   after hundreds of millions of years.  That is why dinosaurs were the   
   dominant land animals for tens of millions of years, until an asteroid   
   impact changed the environment radically, overnight.   
      
   Random changes to the genome, as the result of imperfect copying, are   
   unavoidable.  Differential survival, due (in part) to changes in the   
   genome is also unavoidable.  Ergo, evolution is unavoidable.
