How much of that was random?
"And the earth was without form, and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters."
How much of that was random?
"And God said, Let there be light: and there was light."
How much of that was random?
"...Many hearing (Jesus) were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands?" Mark 6:2.
How much of what Jesus did and taught was "random"?
Maybe my question should have been, " Where does creation and divine order end and "random" begin? If it ever begins, even in the tiniest things. If three thousand years did not improve the descendants of the bee I saw, at a museum, suspended in a solid, egg sized, crystallized lump of fossilized tree sap, why should I believe in "evolution's random selection" of everything else in the universe? Anyway, "random and "selection" are contradictory terms like accidental and intentional.
I am totally convinced and committed to a universe, earth and life originated by "random's" opposite antonyms .... willful, awareness, thoughtful, planned, established, methodical, orderly, orchestrated and created by an intelligent, objective Creator.
It is surely true that our all knowing Creator does everything, infinite and finite, with intent and purpose, meshed together with perfection. And since He is omniscient and knows every single thing, He must be interested in every single thing and therefore in control of every single thing except what He has specifically delegated to our human, "in His likeness", free will. And since He already knows what we will "will" to do, even that isn't random, to Him.
"...All things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28.
