One being that science supports it - but, paradoxically, the other being that science currently states (and the only alternative to a creator is) blind chance.
Neither belief is true. The current understanding is that determinative and replicable processes of organic chemistry produce variations within a breeding population which effect the rates of survival of some portion of that population. Where people misunderstand this as random is that it's demonstrably true that mutations occur without respect for the value of a given trait which may be conferred by the same - ie..at random. Does that clear anything up for you?
Not talking about mutations- but how life was CREATED or by ACCIDENT.
(Abiogenesis is just an excuse)
Neither?
