Specified Complexity is billed as an explanatory filter, and it is suggested that such 'specified' complex function cannot come about by chance.
​
Since Natural Selection can be viewed as a filter over the random mutations that we KNOW accur in biological systems, couldn't Natural Selection be the source of this supposed 'specificity'?
​
Natural Selection, surely, means that what we can observe in the natural world has not, in fact, come about by chance, but has been 'directed' by the environment -- that is only changes that 'work' are carried forward.
