Unguided evolution
From RationalWiki
Unguided evolution is the idea implicit behind the normal usage of the term evolution, and is merely stating that evolution, and this is anthropomorphising but what the hey, has only one goal--live long enough to reproduce. Neither nature nor evolution care--indeed how could they--what reproduces, and there is no ultimate life form that is the target of all this reproduction and random mutation.
One of the major problems that fundamentalists have with evolution is that it--evolution-- suggests that humans are not the goal of evolution, we are just a happy, or not, accident of time, chance and random mutation that has managed to survive long enough to breed. This suggestion that we are not special is more than some people can bear, and so they seek comfort in alternatives.
[edit] Alternatives
One alternative is total evolution denial in the form of: "The bible says it, I believe it, that settles it." Another is the belief in guided evolution--evolution that is being tweaked by an unseen hand that has humans as its ultimate goal; this may be referred to as Theistic evolution or possibly as Intelligent design.
