The idea that man is the end result of a gradual evolutionary process is well grounded in science. The sum total of these events may APPEAR to be a random one.

However, when a biologist states the random selection contradicts the possibility of Divine Creation, he/she is straying from the field of biology and provable science into the realm of Theology, a field best left to Theologians.

I know there are atheists out there in the biological field and they rejoice in this interpretation.

HOWEVER, if someone believes in an all-powerful, all-knowing Creator-God (a matter of faith which cannot be disproved by Science) and that person believes that God was responsible for creating the evolutionary laws which produced man (again, a matter of faith which cannot be disproved by science), it is not possible for that individual to believe that man was a truly random product.

The facts of evolution are there and beyond dispute among biologists. They represent the HOW. They leave unanswered the WHY - and as a Christian, I believe I know the answer to that question. Random theory still leaves unanswered the WHY.

I am sorry, but evolution is the single unifying concept of biology. If you don't buy into the random nature that the theory of evolution states, how can you possibly study biology....You seem to want to cherry pick parts of Evolution and declare them absolutely neccessary to understand Biology. There is no reason why a person can hold any view of Evolution they choose and still be a brilliant Biologists.
