Chance is the Darwinists' so-called god, that does all things and can even work miracles. According to the simplistic Darwinist world view, time and chance together can bring about all things, in an imaginary manner. On the basis of this irrational belief, chance achieves what human beings cannot, and can in some way possess greater knowledge, abilities and technical means than laboratories and scientists. According to Darwinism, chance is an expert that produced everything, flawlessly and with a glorious complexity and that possesses foresight and takes appropriate precautions. Blind and unconscious chance has become the mythical hero behind all Darwinist accounts of life.
For Darwinists there are various ways of imposing this on people. Of course, under normal circumstances no rational personal will believe that a creature with reptilian anatomy completely changed so as to assume the immaculate appearance of a soaring bird. In order to make people believe in such a violation of logic, they need to develop a kind of spellbinding system. That is why Darwinists indoctrinate people in the form of a myth of the supposed capacities of chance dressed up with scientific terminology. According to this tale, every stage in the appearance of all life forms is the work of blind chance, and chance performed this by working miracles. If you ask a Darwinist, "How did the first cell appear?" the answer you will receive will be "It appeared spontaneously in a bit of mud." If you ask how the eye came into being, the answer you receive will be By a miracle." If you enquire, "How did wings and the perfect feathers in birds come into being?" you will be told something along the lines of, "It happened miraculously one day." There is no consciousness or intelligence directing the fictitious process in these irrational and unscientific Darwinist accounts. And yet the universe is built on the most delicate balances. There is a flawless regularity on Earth. The slightest deviation from that order would mean the complete elimination of the whole system. Every form of life possesses exceedingly complex structures and amazing characteristics. Every one of these details is the work of a sublime and mighty intelligence, in other words of Almighty Allah.
But this perfect equilibrium and amazing complexity are ignored in Darwinist stories. All these nonsensical elements in the fairy tale of evolution, that is made incomprehensible by the use of scientific terminology, is carefully and constantly employed just like a magic spell, and most people fail even to notice.
The theologian R. C. Sproul says this on the subject:
When scientists attribute instrumental power to chance, they have left the domain of physics and resorted to magic. Chance is their magic wand to make not only rabbits but entire universes appear out of nothing.130
No matter how much Darwinists try to maintain this indoctrination, the miracle they in fact refer to is blind, mindless and unconscious chance. Coincidences are events that take place at random, with no conscious agent behind them, and with no intelligent power to shape or design anything. It is of course impossible for an event that takes place at random to find the correct method by trial and error, to predict future events and take the requisite precautions, to design beforehand what an organ will resemble, to be altruistic or to display love and loyalty. It flies in the face of reason, logic, science and common sense to maintain that a fictitious power unable to produce even a pin could give rise to all the glorious variety of life on Earth.
The expression "unable to produce even a pin" is used here as a response to Darwinist claims, and to emphasize their impossibility. In reality, of course, it is an error of logic and lack of sound reasoning to suggest that chance can "produce" anything at all. But Darwinists have been able to use that flawed logic to deceive the entire world. According to this peculiar Darwinist logic, there is nothing that chance cannot do, given sufficient time.
The following passage from the Nobel prize-winning evolutionist and biologist George Wald is an explicit expression of the formula chance + time in which Darwinists believe as if it were a magic spell:
One has only to wait: time itself performs the miracles. Given so much time, the 'impossible' becomes possible, the possible probable, and the probable virtually.131
The aim behind all these illogical ideas, of course, is for Darwinists to be able to bring some other explanation than creation to bear, at least in their own eyes. Darwinists are certainly very well aware that it is inconceivable for chance and time to combine together to produce flowers, cats, fish, birds, reptiles and human beings from a collection of mud. But instead of signing up to the truth, they are still trying to depict the illogical as logical.
As we have seen, all Darwinist accounts are based on deception. Take away all the Darwinists flowery language, Latin terminology and incomprehensible scientific words and all that remains is the deception of "all life came into being as the result of random events, through a combination of blind coincidences, and with no control process, precautionary measures or intelligent intervention." And this is the deception that Darwinists are really trying to get people to believe.
This extract from the atheist and evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins, one of the most passionate contemporary Darwinists, is enough to see the dead-end facing Darwinist logic:
... The jet engine analogy suggested that animals ought to be risible monstrosities of lashed-up improvisation, top-heavy with grotesque relics of patched-over antiquity. How can we reconcile this reasonable expectation with the formidable grace of the hunting cheetah, the aerodynamic beauty of the swift, the scrupulous attention to deceptive detail of the leaf insect?132
Chance is such a perverse and mindless idea that it would be more logical to suggest that insects used their lofty intellectual abilities to produce highly sophisticated technological equipment.
