[Louis Foxwell]

are you talking about a plan/purpose or about strict determinism? these are not the same things.

I agree. They are not the same. And, no, I am not talking about determinism. The plan, as I understand it, is a dynamic process.

so, if the Plan is not strictly determinist, He could have put in some random components if He wanted to. Such as random mutations.
