Why do you suppose that if something is random it is out of the control of God? Do you think HIS power stops at the casino door?

Your observation, or "metaphor" would be spot-on, dear AMD, were it not for the fact that, as Einstein noted, "God does not play dice."

You claim to be a Christian. And yet you deny God has an active, ongoing role in this universe. That is to say, He is not only not Creator, but also not active Sustainer of all He created as well — from Alpha to Omega.

But since He does not show up in your "experiments," therefore, on your crackpot logic, He does not exist.

You effectively make yourself the very measure of God here.

Why on earth do you think that is a good idea?

So you take Einstein, who was pretty much a Deist, over the Bible in this regard?

God is not “playing” dice if God knows beforehand every result.

The Bible says that the every result of a random drawing of lots is “from the Lord” - but you prefer to take Einstein's comment about his dissatisfaction with Quantum Mechanics over the Bible. Interesting.

You claim to be a Christian and yet take the word of Einstein over the word of God? /s

Amazing that at its core the basic creationist argument is that science = atheism and that nobody who disagrees with their ideas could possibly be a Christian.

Now are you ready to admit reality that in the e.coli experiment the useful variations derived were NOT present in the original population?

Your inability to admit reality, or learn anything about a subject you have discussed for years - really speaks volumes!
