I came across and ASA message from 1999 that read, in part.

"For example, the popular 10th grade textbook, "Biology", by Miller and
Levine,
states that "evolution is random and undirected" and also that "evolution
works without either plan or purpose" (Prentice-Hall, 1993, 1995 and 1998
editions, pg. 658). At the Science Ed Commission's request, co-author
Kenneth
Miller has agreed that since such statements are unsupported by scientific
evidence, he will remove them from subsequent editions."

Does anyone have access to the most recent edition?
