Are you asserting that God does not foresee the outcome of chance events and hence control them by allowing them to happen?

You still seem to be struggling with this. Allow me to help:

Main Entry: 1chance
1 a: something that happens unpredictably without discernible human intention or observable cause b: the assumed impersonal purposeless determiner of unaccountable happenings : luck c: the fortuitous or incalculable element in existence : contingency
2: a situation favoring some purpose : opportunity (needed a chance to relax)
3: a fielding opportunity in baseball
4 a: the possibility of a particular outcome in an uncertain situation ; also : the degree of likelihood of such an outcome (a small chance of success) b plural : the more likely indications (chances are he's already gone)
5 a: risk (not taking any chances) b: a raffle ticket

Notice how there is nothing indicating direction or planning?
