Do I have this right? Mutation is synonomous with chance. So mutation (chance) occurs, then natural selection eliminates the harmful or unbeneficial chance and the good chance survives to enter into another state of mutation (chance) and this cycle occurs for millions of years (time). So if I say chance through natural selection and time is that an accurate definition?
I think you are still hung up on the "chance" idea and that is because you are still trying to shoehorn your god in there but you are getting closer.
Try reading Richard Dawkins' "The Greatest Show on Earth." His explanations of evolution are far superior to mine.
