I'm prepared to cast it aside just as soon as I hear an even better idea. God did it in strange and wonderful ways is not an explanation; it is the admission that the solution is beyond your powers of comprehension. Evolution is not much doubted in science circles. I think it may be abiogenesis you're thinking of. But there again assigning it to cosmic magician is the same as saying it beats you; it is not an explanation at all. Not all the steps for biogenesis have been reproduced, but once it has we will understand it. Deciding God did it explains nothing.
It doesn't matter where I stand on this issue, when something is wrong it's wrong and it can't be made right. Yet many keep believing it so they will not have to admit that God is the answer. Besides whats the matter with God being the answer, seems to me it would be fulfilling to find out how God created things. Seems rather unfulfilling to try and find out how mistakes could lead to life especially when there is evidence saying evolution couldn't be. I see no evidence saying God doesn't exist.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
