Okay, again. "Randomness" is in the hands of God according to the
Bible. Nothing happens outside His will. That is why I completely reject
Morris's definition of evolution. Morris "seems" to think, that if you say
that something happens randomly, then it happens randomly. As Christians
we believe that no process whatsoever is happening randomly. Not even
gambling. That too is in the hands of our Lord, even though the gamblers
don't believe it. A Christian believes that nothing happens outside God's
will.

Where do Christians working in science use this "new" (for Christians)
definition? That non-Christians define concepts incorrectly is nothing
new. That happened in Paradise already.
