And so does this mean that you believe that God completely determines everything that happens in the Universe?
If so, how do you make this insight compatible with what orthodox Darwinian evolution theory predicts — that all "progress" in the biological universe is attributable to random accident, somehow attuned to "results" (survival of the species) without there being any purpose-intending result in mind?
A biology of "successful reproduction" on the basis of natural selection doesn't explain anything about the nature of the Reality the "successful replicants" have to "select" for, or against, in order to leave progeny.
God is Power. He could utterly determine everything, were that His design, or purpose.
Yet evidently He chose to do otherwise: He chose to leave man, His own created son, "free."
Which certainly makes for an interesting world.... For man, and I daresay, for God....
But I digress. What I would most like to ask you for, dear AMD, is your list of citations; i.e., re: That God's "dice roll" equals "random mutation," among other things....
My religious beliefs are not at all in contradiction with evolution through natural selection of genetic variation - only your strawman of it - the typical Creationist bugaboo that “random” somehow means ‘beyond the power of God to control’.
If I say I am offering to play you a game of chance - and that there is a random chance that you will win or lose - and that there was no “result” that is more likely than the other - that doesn't imply that I have escaped the power of God to determine that I am going to win and you are going to lose.
You want the Bible passage that speaks of the result of casting lots being from the Lord?
