Would it make sense that if humans have free will and thus can make choices out of personal sovereignty, the Creator of this universe would not have built in 'production via variability and chance'?... Can't prove either assumption, but logic should be useful in deciding to which perspective one adheres, for the time being of course.

I'll accept as an axiom that humans have free will and thus can make choices out of personal sovereignty. {If a super Calvinist wants to argue I won't get mad understanding that he has no choice in the matter. :-)}

I will also accept that variability and chance have a role in production. But that does not mean that all life shares a common descent with a happenstance of abiogenesis, nor does it mean that some things are not left to chance.
