Do statistical laws offer space for God to act in the world? It is first made clear that such laws are not represented primarily by probability distributions but by the basic processes underlying them. One possibility is that the laws are illusory in the sense that God is actually acting in every event in a way that mimics chance. Another possibility is that God acts only occasionally at particularly significant junctures. In this case his purposeful action would be masked by the mass of genuinely random happenings. It is concluded that neither explanation is satisfactory and hence that God's action is more likely to be seen in the behaviour of chance happenings in the aggregate.
