You don’t believe that both direction and chance are under God’s control?

Chance is random. It cannot be under 'control'. This is an elementary concept. Please tell me you do not truly believe what you wrote?

But God gave us free will. He took a chance on mankind. He was frequently frustrated with our free will and his lack of control so had to resort to drastic measures like kicking man out of the garden of Eden and wiping them off the face of the earth a few times, destroying cities and civilizations and such. Our earth is full of chance. Like when a tornado or fire kills a bunch of innocent children.

Are you asserting that God does not foresee the outcome of chance events and hence control them by allowing them to happen?
