From God’s perspective, there is no such thing as chance. I also believe that there is no such thing as chance. We as humans have free will, but every permutation has been predetermined by my omniscient God and He has sought me throughout the folds of time. Were chance any part of any equation, it would not be science. Science deals with observation and should not make speculation, but this is precisely where evolution takes us.

Yes, and from our pserpsective, there is chance, which is what confuses some.

There is lots of chance in science. Quantum Mechanics is all chances. Evolution involves some chance, in the case where the DNA replicating machinery makes mistakes, that we view as governed by chance. That is not chance from God's perspective, though. It a purposefully designed alteration to what is, so it might become what may be, and that is what most people miss. Without these mistakes, genes could not develop, and we could not move towards the purpose God designed us for. We're like Ants in an Ant farm, contemplating the glass. I suspect this is a case of "we agree, but our arguments keep failing to convince each other of our own positions."
