Uh, not random. Evolution has a system.
Evolution is just random. The "system" is just the good random changes live and the bad don't.
It's a bit more complex than that, with multiple levels of feedback with DNA (potentially even with the nucleotide) and a damn complicated process while creating descendants (vs. just clones).
The system is just a representation of the aggregate.
