produces. If this natural filtering process is unbalanced, the atmosphere will
receive too much carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. Once these gases
form in the atmosphere, they .....

animals and plants. While the source of variation is random, the
direction of evolution is not. In effect, natural selection removes
chance, and it makes the theory of evolution plausible. If neo-Darwinism
is correct then numerous small successive changes guided by natural
selection gave rise to all animals and plants.
