The more I learn about the genetic code, how proteins get translated from DNA, the nature of DNA itself, bioinformatics, biochemistry, etc., the less like a random jumble it seems.

I also wonder why we cannot reproduce evolution's effectiveness computationally. Genetic algorithms and the like are not very good, no where near capable of matching biological systems, even though we can match evolution timescales and populations with our computing power today.

As far as I can tell, we have absolutely no idea why and how evolution works, let alone works so well.
