Description

The title of this article "Chance for a Purpose" seems contradictory. Was it not by chance, that is, without it being his intention or purpose, that the Amalekite encountered King Saul on Mount Gilboa with such disastrous consequences? (1) Such an account reflects our popular understanding. Chance implies a lack of purpose. Consequently, the use of chance to describe some physical and biological processes has been interpreted as implying a lack of purpose in the universe as a whole. Yet we ourselves construct systems incorporating chance processes and put them to our own uses. In this article, several such systems will be examined to see how their processes relate to their purposes. With these insights we can proceed to examine chance processes in physical and biological systems and consider how they may relate to God's purposes and actions. But first, the concept of chance needs to be scrutinized further.
