I said that God KNEW the result of every random event beforehand, I didn't say he “controlled” it; so you are reduced to putting words in my mouth?

They're your words: God created everything, even random events are controlled by God, species evolved and are still evolving.

So.... shall we continue our discussion?

My apologies, God can control all random events, but I did not mean to suggest that HE directs/controls every atomic decay and every dice roll, just that HE knows the outcome.

I agree with you that it is a mystery, but I still don’t see how knowing the outcome denies the existence of free will.

But what is obvious is that the Bible says directly that the results of a dice are “from the Lord”. Random events are not out of the control of God, and it doesn’t mean that God is not in control just because we observe events in nature that exhibit randomness.

That was the point I was making. Sorry for the mistake.
