THE DIVINE HELMSMAN GUIDING HUMAN AFFAIRS OR THE FORCE OF HISTORICAL EVOLUTION WORKING OUT HUMAN DESTINY?

THE DIVINE HELMSMAN GUIDING HUMAN AFFAIRS OR THE FORCE OF HISTORICAL EVOLUTION WORKING OUT HUMAN DESTINY?

God does His own work in His own inscrutable way. This is the opinion of a section of the religious who are resigned to divine authority over human affairs in a way of their own. Theirs is the stance that God works out His own blueprint of human destiny and men can only be His instruments in the execution of His grand act. Others who are primarily of the rational bent of mind say that the historical process works out the destiny of things, that is, if at all there be a destiny beyond what the resolution of forces human and force natural assign it to be.

Now, what is your stance in this regard I sincerely wish to know. Are you of the opinion or conviction that the Divine is guiding the course of humanity or are you convinced that the historical forces of organic evolution and sociopolitical and natural forces determine the destiny of humanity? I await your considered response.
