Natural Selection Seems Insufficient

Exactly. You'll now understand the primary reason why I reject the existence of immaterial "forces". 

I don't believe in the concept of a substance without substance. That's one reason I am a full-blown materialist, unlike my Christian brothers.

So, you have no fridge magnets in your house?

Your axiom is still incoherent.

Newton wondered whether gravity might be the hand of God. The Bible seems to suggest as much because it suggests that God upholds all the stars, for example it says "He sustains all things by the word of his power".

My view is that all the so-called "forces" are God leveraging His own physical hand to create the kind of environment/ world that He desired us to cohabitate  and co-labor in. That includes magnetism, electro-magnetism, gravity, electricity, and nuclear forces.
