Natural Selection Seems Insufficient

[Jal]

Again, I did  not ask anyone here to accept Christianity. What I HAVE done is:
(1) Argued for the insufficiency of reductionistic Natural Selection to explain the present order. 
(2) In passing, I have mentioned my Christian beliefs and challenged observers to identify anything unreasonable there. I haven't seen anyone on this thread convincingly rise to that challenge.

This is the main problem in a nutshell.  You have this grand explanation which is predicated on reductionistic explanations being insufficient.   You even made a brief stab at why you think so in your OP.  However, at the end of the day, you can only demonstrate the insufficiency of known reductionistic explanations.  Which means by dismissing reductionistic explanations as a whole, you are also dismissing reductionistic explanations which are currently unknown.   This is a textbook appeal to ignorance as you are basing your dismissal on our being ignorant and unaware of good reductionistic explanations for these things, by focusing on a subset of those explanations, namely ones that are known, and more precisely that are known to you.  T

When Christians say, "God has a hidden purpose for creating this kind of dark world," atheists regard this as a copout.

Likewise I regard your post as a copout. You are basically saying, "Reductionism has some hidden tenets that would resolve it's apparent deficiencies."

That's not a reasonable position, because reductionism is what it is. It cannot be more than the deterministic reality that it defines itself as. Once you go beyond that boundary, you've plunged into panpysychism. You cannot have your cake and eat it too.
