My stating “God controls everything “ is really a mis-statement, somewhat hyperbole for effect, when what I really meant was that God has providence over everything, and sustains all creation, so his control is that he could potentially control everything being omnipotent, but I am in agreement with you that he chooses not to do so but rather takes pleasure, and perhaps at times regret at what we do under free will. And evolution takes place under that same providence and permissive will. Not unlike how we can control our children when they are under our care, but choose to give them freedom to make mistakes so that they can grow in wisdom as well as stature.
the later part of my statement refers to how AIG and similar voices tend to say that “If Genesis is not true, then the Bible is not true” to which the new atheists say, “That’s right.”
