Default Re: What prevents evolution?

[ QUOTE ]

I think of chance as saying "we just don't know".

I agree with this and have taken the same position in other posts.

If that's all someone means by random variation then they cannot maintain that evolution has made God unnecessary.

Chance in this sense isn't ultimate and doesn't produce an infinite number of possibilities.

And chance in this sense provides no explanation at all - as you said, it means "I don't know" which is the opposite of explanation.
