Better to trust scripture and not Darwin

this is a great example of how we can have a world that we see clearly is ruled by laws of probability(chance)...and yet at the same time have God in full control.

My point here is that the universe can very well be ruled by luck and chance...with no way for science to ever show or prove there is a god ....and yet at the same time there actually is a God in full control of His creation.

It does not have to be something we understand how it works...

The men on the ship in the storm cast lots and the lots fell on Jonah...was this just luck?....was this just chance?....

Well if a man of science were watching the men on the ship casting the lots, he would not have seen anything different than any other game of chance the men had played before.

There was no giant's hand reaching down from heaven to force the men to cast the lots only one way over others.

There really is no way mankind could run some type of test to see if God controlled the casting of the Lots....for there is no test for god...


But because we are men of faith, when we read the story we know that God was in full control of the casting of the lots...we know God caused Jonah to be the one who the casting of the lots pointed to....

We know this due to our faith....


We also know that it was no accident,,,there was nothing left to luck,,,nothing left to chance.





This is the same way with evolution of life.
Nothing was left to luck
Nothing was left to chance...

Life evolved as God designed....
