Also, it makes no sense that we have instincts therefore it makes more sense that God wanted us to have instincts. Evolution only starts with life, which makes no sense, it should show how inanimate matter turns into life as well. Also, if evolution has all this power then where does evolution come from?
Correct. Morality is conceptual in nature and comes from a process of reasoning but we do get our capacity for conceptual thought from evolution. Evolution deals with the diversity of life, not its origin. That's abiogenesis. I don't know why this is so hard to comprehend. Evolution comes from existence just like everything else that exists.
It makes more sense to you that an invisible magic being put instincts into us rather than a natural process of diverse genetic traits being selected for by the conditions a population lives in. Got it. The problem is we have mountains of evidence for evolution, can watch it happen, and can measure it while we have no alternative but to imagine a god. But you go ahead and pretend that the imaginary is real. I'll stick with facts and reason.
