Testimony makes terrible evidence, thankfully that's not all we have to go on (why on earth would you think that it was?). In fact, whenever testimony is all the support offered for any given claim it gets dropped like a bad habit.
"No I really did turn this lead into gold..you have to believe me, you just have too!"
You obviously believe many strange things, let's not confuse your beliefs with facts. It's not "more probable" that the universe was created by your god or any god. There is no evidence for your god or any god. You're mostly looking to fill gaps in your own knowledge, from what I can see, not gaps in the body of knowledge we call science. You can obviously operate a computer so you should be able to find specific things like experiments in support of or observing evolution. If you want to add to the body of knowledge I suggest you do science, instead of attempting apologetics.
Lastly, there are no prophecies in the bible. Prophecy or precognition is a fairy tale, it doesn't exist.
Let's recap:
The universe is fine tuned and created! - No, it isn't.
Science is wrong about [insert something you're hopelessly out of your depth on here]!- Probably not, but even if it were you aren't right by default.
The bible can tell the future! - No it can't, no it hasn't, and no it won't. Prophecy is a construct of our imagination.
