Why do you suppose the line “it happened randomly” somehow precludes the involvement of God?

That would be a problem for the modern day scientist to answer, or maybe just the FRevos. I've had more discussions than I can remember with frevos about order and complexity being indicators of intelligence and design and them denying that; saying that it's not because order and complexity can arise spontaneously amidst randomness.

And yet they can provide no examples of the same. Talk about BLIND faith.

The question “Why do you suppose the line “it happened randomly” somehow precludes the involvement of God?” is not one that any Scientist CAN answer as a Scientist. I am asking for a theological view point on this question.

Life uses randomness all the time. The first time each of our unique genetic code was assembled was when our parents sex cells performed a random shuffling of our grandparents chromosomes together. This is apparently God's plan.

If someone wins at dice...is that not God's will?

If someone loses at dice...is that not also God's will?

Why do some people suppose that randomness is somehow beyond the power and purview of God?
