Are humans a mistake?

Since God is sovereign over molecules and DNA, mistakenness is not something I will ascribe to him, nor the vagaries of chance or ‘luck’.

The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the Lord.
Proverbs 16:33

Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
Matthew 10:29-31

 

I’m not disagreeing with you, Mitch, but the resolution between God’s sovereignty and love, our free will and the ‘randomness’ of evolution I will once again suggest is God’s omnitemporality, the wonderful mystery that we will not be able get our heads around, the mystery of a how a God who is not bound by time, the Eternal NOW, relates to us who are limited to sequential time and the (only) four dimensions of this physical creation.

Remember Judas. Did he have free will? Yes. In God’s ‘plan’ (a timebound word)? Yes.

…woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.
Matthew 26:24

(Those who are not familiar with the concept that helps affirm God’s omnitemporality might do a little browsing about spacetime slices, starting with the oldest of the four links – they’re not lengthy.)
