Enough said!

I believe that the reply meant to say Chance, but that
change over time (which IS evolution) was on the poster's mind.
Evolution has nothing to do with chance ... at all.
Mutations can be considered chance, natural selection (one
of the natural phenomena behind evolution) cannot be considered
chance.
It's just adaptation ... a feedback system similar to those
found in control engineering.
Having read the Bible, and having been subjected to peer review
(albiet in my own field) and adjudged NOT feeble minded, I did
not come to the conclusion that there is a single creator.
Show me the train of logic that would lead someone, on that basis
of one written work, to form an entire world-view and opinion
on the creation of the universe, life on earth, and
diversity of life on earth.
Would you read a single, seminal geology text which was uncorroborated
any where else and take it as fact ?

the book of genesis
