ok but thats a reason why you believe he wouldn't want to give up sovereignty. It still means he could give it up if he wanted to.

It isn't just an opinion. It involves the difficulty of how He could guarantee anything since He wouldn't be God any longer. But to me this question is little more than asking how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. He isn't going to give up any sovereignty that would make any creature more sovereign than Him, which really means He isn't giving up sovereignty. He won't abdicate.

I cant see your analogy with angles on pins. This goes to the heart of your whole argument about god as I understand it.

meaning -> omnipotent god -> things dont happen by chance

This seems to be wrong because an omnipotent god can allow many things to happen by chance. In particular god could allow evolution by chance knowing full well that evolution (a process designed by an omnipotent being) plus the occasional intervention would eventually result in creatures capable of recognising his existence.

None of that threatens gods existence as god, how could it?
