Re: What prevents evolution?
[ QUOTE ]
For science to mean anything, for there to even be science, God is necessary. If God created the universe, how could science be possible without God? There would be no universe and no one to study it.

Doesn't this mean that if God did not create the Universe, He is then unnecessary to science? Your last sentence I don't even understand. If God created the Universe, there is no Universe?

chance is sufficient to explain what happens.

Chance is the antithesis of explanation. It is anti-explanation. It destroys the possibility of explanation. It is by definition irrational and uncaused. How does that explain anything?

This sounds nice, but is meaningless. Chance is a perfectly good explanation. An electron beam passed through a Stern-Gerlach device and a particular electron is measured to be in the spin-up state. Why is it in the spin-up state and not spin-down? Chance. Chance explains this system perfectly.
This is beside the point that chance is only facet of evolution. Evolution may require random variation, but it only progress via non-random selection.
