I know what evolution is, it's an effect of random mutations. I know that.

That is so far from what evolution is it isn't even funny. Read up on evolution before making such ridicilous claims about it. It's like me saying christianity is just a bunch of angels flying around all the time.

You are confusing me like crazy. dsgrue himself said "Evolution is also not a cause, it is an effect."

I'm starting to think that my confusion on evolution is due to confusion amongst evolutionists.

I might have been a bit too harsh with words, but there is a lot of confusion about what evolution is. I'd recommend you read up on "natural selection" as that may clear things up quite a bit. In short, it means: the best adapted survive and reproduce, thus making the species stronger (ie evolving). This is a very "layman" definition so if you want to know more I'd suggest checking a credible source concerning evolution and natural selection.

Although I do not believe in God, I don't see any reason why intelligent design and evolution cannot co-exist (altough the idea of inteligent design seems a bit ridicilous to me).
