<<It may make sense at first glance, but if you dig just a bit deeper you have to ask, How did God direct evolution to get the desired result? (or even a result that was undesired). >>

What I am saying is that evolution is a process that cannot be viewed internally. You cannot think that God created earth, and then man.

What happened (in the evol-creation view) is that God created the Big Bang, and the set of rules that govern physics. It is inevitable from this point on that sentient life will occur somewhere in the Universe. Because there are an infinate number of possibilities for it TO occur.

I'm sure that the chaos theory you've studied says that "predictibility for an individual item is impossible, but large groups of items behave in a predictible manner."
