W12 D2- On Chance

Premise # 2
“ If series of happy coincidences caused the disparate elements or matter to come as one form due to First Cause, or Chance it must also explain every certainty that hangs from such fortuitous occurrence. .”
If two kings of equal rights and authority rule the kingdom and exercise their authority to cancel each other can the kingdom survive?
OK you tell me life originated by chance; but have you noticed how man has fought his way up from his arboreal existence and onto plains and cities? If life forms could evolve into higher forms, species after their own fashion and march a predetermined path as it were, and pool their strengths collectively there is something that go against the very nature of Chance.
Or is it Chance merely another name given to certainty? Given the wisdom and power that we associate with the First Cause both can coexist.

Is Chance a card up in the sleeve of Life?
Consider the earth some 500 million years ago,-The atmosphere of earth had little or no oxygen at all to begin with. What processes would have gone make it life- friendly would have also led to the building blocks of proteins,- sugars, nucleic acids and amino acids. In such a serendipitous sequence of events creation of a crucial compound called DNA on one hand and mutation on other hand were likely to happen. Life originated with DNA. For all these to happen it may have taken some 100 million years. Uniqueness of dioxyribonucleic acid lies in the fact that it can replicate itself; It also acts as a blueprint for manufacture of amino acids. DNA has only four basic molecules arranged in a particular sequence which specifies how the twenty or so amino acids should be arranged in a particular protein, how much is to be made and when. During the DNA copying process, a fault may occur due to varying reasons but what results out of an imperfect copy of DNA are proteins of different sequence-mutation it is called- giving rise to evolution. Chance is worked into evolution. Mutation is as a result of Ultraviolet rays, gamma radiations and sometimes certain chemicals also could often have interrupted the DNA copying process: all these occurring at the level of genes or a set of genes do not stretch the credulity considering the millions of years it has taken for life-forms to evolve. The main point is that while life-forms got altered DNA itself has remained unaltered.
Such accidents will help us to understand the role of Chance. But is that all there is to it?
