Randomness in Nature and Divine Providence
From a traditional theological perspective, the ontological randomness and apparent lack of purpose in the evolutionary process appear to conflict with God’s providence, sovereignty, and wisdom.

We then examine the traditional notions of divine sovereignty and providence…
