Re: What prevents evolution?
[ QUOTE ]
But the chance element in evolution, if it did exist, would ultimately be under the control of God and would therefore affect only non-essential things (and God would define what is and isn't essential). So He might allow chance to decide whether a particular species survives if it doesn't matter to His overall plan, but if that species is integral to His plan He would guarantee its survival. No different than the coin flip example I gave. The bottom line is God is in control and nothing happens outside His will.

It doen't seem we disagree much here - an omnipotent god could allow evolution by chance as much as he wants to. Obviously you dont think that is his will, presumably because you believe the bible?
Is that accurate?
