More insults, and no substance. Yawn.
As you can see, it's not possible to discuss theology or philosophy on this forum.
This is an insult forum. They want to use you as a "chew toy" and then make you leave, either by making you mad so you leave on your own or finding a reason to ban you.
You might have better luck at

At that forum they are willing to discuss different topics without requiring total conformity, and the moderators encourage discussion. Several people who used to post here have moved over there so they can discuss things.
As for the idea that natural selection is not sufficient to explain evolution, this is an idea that several prominent scientists currently agree about. I first heard of it from Denis Noble, who did research in biology at Oxford for 20 years, and has about as distinguished a career as a biologist can have. He knows more about evolutionary biology than you or I or anyone posting here. He also says that our current model of how evolution functions is mistaken and needs a major overhaul.

I don't know whether he and his colleagues are correct about this or not. He knows more than I do.
His ideas have no relation to religion and do not draw on any supernatural or theological arguments.
