There are two types of chance involved.
1. The first is the mutation of genetic material from one generation to another. The theory is that there are often random mutations on the chromosomes of an organism during its conception or development. These small random changes can lead to some new property in the organism that makes it better adapted to its enviroment. Because it is more successful than its competitors, it gets to mate more often and the mutation is passed on to its offspring and eventually becomes a regular trait of the species. The problem with this theory is that it has been shown that mutations overwhelmingly tend to affect the organism negatively and most of them actually result in death.
2. The second type of chance that evolutionists talk about all the time is not actually part of evolutionary theory. It is another theory called abiogenesis, and I mention it because it often accompanies the credo of material evolutionists. The theory claims that the first life form, most likely a single celled organism, formed by chance. Once we had a cell with RNA, DNA, a cell wall and a nurtritive system, evolution then took over. But the process to get to that point was purely chemical and relied on random interactions. That random events could produce such an organism is patently absurd (the chance is less than 10^300 to 1) but material evolutionists still cling to this ridiculous theory because they find the other alternative (divine intervention) repugnant.

There is a perfect alignment with in the universes functional operation system that allows the possibility of life to exist.
These principles are innate functions of the universe.
We can always question what put them there?
Was it the universe it self?
Was it God?
Or was it something we do not yet understand?
I would go with the third choice.
Sure the universe formulates all these splendid solar systems, and galaxies, but the fact is life does not exist on every planet?
Now does it!
If we say an infinite God with infinite Knowledge created the universe with the soul purpose of giving existence life, we would see it else where. Not just on a stinky little planet in one stinky little galaxy.
No, no no, if life was put here by intelligence and that's what the intelligence wanted out of the universe, then we would have seen it else where by now.
Evolution is not chance, it is perfect symmetry.

yes,
if you take a drop a vase on the floor , it broke and shattered into pieces.
you try doing this on different distance , on different type of floor.
there would be a thereotical chance that it would break , shattered and form an image of mona lisa.
the chance is so small but it exist . however when such happen , you cant just attribute it to be the doing of god right ? he may be watching spongebob when this happen , and what happen is through sheer luck.
the existence of god DOES NOT prove he create human , he could be playing pool while it happen .
evolution doesnt disprove or prove the existence of god . it is merely and explaination to explain how human may came about. only religious text that felt evolution to prove it wrong would then come about and say evolution is a hoax
apparently , to date , i have not seen any buddhist or hindus getting angry over the theory of evolution or big bang.

Evolution is a fact.
The Theory of Evolution explains how evolution worked to diversify life on this planet.
Evolution works by natural selection (the opposite of "chance") being applied to random genetic mutations.

Mutations occur by chance, that is randomly; but natural selection does not. Natural selection specifically selects those random mutations that are beneficial the survival of the organism. So the overall effect of biological evolution is constantly directed toward a goal, and is not really random at all.

Yes, it is a " theory, " and not a fact, and now science has been able to see the impossibility of this theory because of much more research and more advanced equipment. Science works well with the creation by intelligent design theory. It is even proving it to be fact.

Evolution claims, random change & natural selection make simple things spontaneously transform into more complex things without recourse to intelligent design. Chance and random changes simply do not produce higher levels of organization & complexity.
How ridiculously impossible it is MATHEMATICALLY, for 'order' - of the magnitude of the human brain and DNA - to come from absolute disorder? How could TIME alone account for the order in the universe, natural laws, complex organisms, etc.?

To a large degree, it is.
The changes and mutations that occur are random. There is no game plan to the changes...only the need to survive. There is no way to predict the exact changes that an organism will go through, even when the stimulus for the change is known.
The only order to the process is this: those mutations that help an organism survive, become a part of the organism (eventually leading to an overall change in the species). Those that do not, result in death.

Evolution has never been proven! That means it is still a theory.

Because that is what all of the evolutionary Science books teach. Evolution was random things happening over time. One big cosmic lotto...........
First there was nothing and then something happened to nothing and nothing exploded into everything
