To test Evolution fairly, try adding natural selection to your randomized model.

Yes, by introducing “natural” selection into the random bits introduced into and deleted from the code, we get LESS functionality, not more.

I can say with certainty that by adding “natural” selection to randomization in a spreadsheet program, it is not going to evolve into a compiler or word processor.

Oh, and without a purposeful intelligence to program it, “natural” selection could not exist, neither could the original code base upon which “natural” selection is made to act.
