Perhaps I was oversimplifiying evolution. But the concept of chance through time is how I was taught. Your quote is "The theory of evolution says that life originated, and evolution proceeds, by random chance." No where in your quote are the words "natural selection". It does say that: "evolution proceeds by random chance" (and it "proceeds" through time). I think we can all agree that evolution is said to have taken time and that it happened through chance. Would "chance through time and natural selection" be a better definition? I think either way to respond to the op my "outside of scripture" evidence is creation.
Okay....so now we know that in addition to knowing jack shit about evolution your are blind as well.
The term "natural selection" appears 3 times in that short quote. I have gone back and bolded them for you.
