Me saying life came by chance would be as ill informed as those of you believing that a bunch a bronze age desert wanderers had the whole skinny on the origins of the universe.
Maybe God does work in mysterious ways....perhaps through a process that looks, feels, tastes and smells like evolution.
Evolution is NOT abio-genesis.
I proudly tell people that I feel that the mechanism called evolution could have been used by God to make us into what we are today.
The reason I qualify it "mechanism" and not just "theory" is that in the theory, there is no guiding hand. This is where evos jump to the idea of abiogenesis. The changes (though not entirely sound IMO) could very well be. They would just happen to be from the will of a Higher Being.
