You’re willing to deny God’s omniscience and Divine providence in order to support Miller’s completely unfounded theological view (completely at odds with the teaching of the Church). Again, God is omniscient. Nothing can happen without his knowledge or will.
And biologist Kenneth Miller of Brown University, author of the popular book Finding Darwin’s God (which is used in many Christian colleges), insists that evolution is an undirected process, flatly denying that God guided the evolutionary process to achieve any particular result—including the development of human beings. Indeed, Miller insists that “mankind’s appearance on this planet was not preordained, that we are here… as an afterthought, a minor detail, a happenstance in a history that might just as well have left us out.” [Finding Darwin’s God (1999), p. 272]
This is obviously and completely false. Again, he says that mankind was not pre-ordained by God, but that human beings arose by an accident (that God was not involved in, that God was not aware of, that God did not direct). This denies the direct creation of man by God — it denies the de fide teaching that every human soul is created directly by God. He claims that man was an accident — happening without God willing or intending it.
Miller does say that God knew that the undirected process of evolution was so wonderful it would create some sort of rational creature capable of praising Him eventually. But what that something would be was radically undetermined. How undetermined? At a 2007 conference, Miller admitted that evolution could have produced “a big-brained dinosaur” or a “mollusk with exceptional mental capabilities” rather than human beings. [Quoted in Darwin Day, p. 226]

Again, Miller claims that God only knew that some kind of creature would be created — but He didn’t know that man would emerge. This is not only heretical, it is blasphemous. Miller believes in an ignorant god. This is not the true God — all-knowing, all-powerful, possessing all perfections. It is an ignorant god that didn’t know what evolution would produce. The worship of a false god is idolatry. And that’s what we have here.
We can take a look at this quote from Miller’s biology textbook:
“Darwin knew that accepting his theory required believing in philosophical materialism, the conviction that matter is the stuff of all existence and that all mental and spiritual phenomena are its by-products. Darwinian evolution was not only purposeless but also heartless–a process in which the rigors of nature ruthlessly eliminate the unfit. Suddenly, humanity was reduced to just one more species in a world that cared nothing for us. The great human mind was no more than a mass of evolving neurons. Worst of all, there was no divine plan to guide us.”
