on evolution:  mutation according to need

that life has been evolving is something that virtually everyone will come to accept.  the real question is, by what process has life been evolving?  in particular, what is driving the direction of mutation, of gene changes in present and future generations? 

i believe the neo-Darwinians are mistaken in their belief that mutation is governed purely by chance.  i believe mutation is according to need, is directed by need.

i believe there's an as yet undiscovered system in each creature or organism which, responding to that creature’s environment, causes its seed to mutate in a direction that will come to bring a more secure and comfortable existence to its descendants.  its seed miraculously mutates in a direction that will continue over future generations to bring the descendants some very needed benefits.   

look at wings.  the first wings to come into being would have been clumsy and imperfect and would not have had a survival value.  yet perfect wings eventually evolved into existence in spite of this.  birds, who are descended from dinosaurs, evolved wings out of need.  some smaller dinosaurs were being chased and hunted by bigger dinosaurs, and those smaller dinosaurs needed to evolve wings as a safety solution, and their seed and subsequent generations of that seed went through the necessary mutations for perfect wings to eventually evolve.

it's as if there's some hidden system in each living being that's asking the question, how can my seed change so that future generations of my descendants will have a more secure and comfortable existence in this world?  this hidden, undiscovered system then triggers its answers into concrete genetic mutations from generation to generation.

look at how fast bacteria and viruses are mutating into new strains of resistance against the medicines that modern medicine has been using against them.  the very speed and clever strategy of these mutations must tell us that mutation is directed by need and not by chance.
