JN, i don't know what we are talking about.

>>PURE RANDOM CHANCE would be totally random happenings, COMPLETELY
UN-INFLUENCED
BY ANY INTELLIGENT BEING. To assert God does not exist would allow one to
assume the possibility of pure random chance happenings.>>

everything, absolutely everything always, with absolutely no exceptions whatsoever, never happens by "pure random chance", but always according to the so-called "laws of nature". an inteligent being can not violate laws of nature whether wants to or not. only moronic idiotic inbecilic debilic tv and other media journalists think (if they ever do) that anything could possibly violate laws of nature. [like whwn they show an indian walking on hot stones and the like crap] i'm talking about fundamental laws of nature which are always applicable, and also of less fundamental laws of nature (like the beloved by you 2nd law), which may be applicable in certain special situations. in this sense nothing is "by chance".[what people mean when they say "by chance" is that they do not know/can not control conditions to the degree needed to predict the outcome]

>> To believe that God EXISTS, allows that anything that happens, anywhere, anytime,
MAY be somehow influenced by God's will and God's power, therefore negating the
assertion that anything can happen totally and unequivically by random chance.

see above. you can believe in god if you want to, but there is not need insofar as understanding the nature is involved.

do not be too shy; besides, i promissed m. burke not to post on your thread.
