What you wish to be true has no bearing on what is true.

Arguing from ignorance and/or incredulity is fallacious. Actually, pretty much everything you post is fallacious. I'd say you were exhibiting Dunning-Kruger but that would be insulting to people with limited understanding of the topics involved.
Quote:natural selection filters the changes that enhance survival from those that hinder it.
Everena: Define natural in that context.
You say you understand evolution but need the "natural" in "natural selection" defined? I really hope you are a troll or a bot because it would be amazing to see a real person who is that vacuous.

A "force bigger than this planet" is a meaningless phrase; talking about force in terms of physical size makes no sense. Either way, just being "bigger than this planet" is effectively zero when compared to the universe; the limited scope of your vision is showing.
Your argument so far boils down to "I don't understand how things could have happened therefore there must be a god that did it". You have no evidence for any of your beliefs, just repeated assertions based on ignorance and incredulity. I'd say your posts here have set theism back at least 200 years. Good job.
