Chance: No Friend To The Evolutionist

Chance is somewhat of an embarrassment to evolutionary naturalism, because as a philosophy naturalism aspires to give a rational, humanly intelligible explanation of life. Its approach is a form of rationalism, because it wants to exercise reason independent of God. But at the heart of the explanation is Chance, which is irrational.
