In fact, I find quantum mechanics and general relativity easier to comprehend than evolution by natural selection. There are many things in "unguided" evolution that don't make a great deal of sense, such as the aspect of sexual reproduction that you mentioned and also the emergence of subjective consciousness. I think the idea that evolution is unguided asks far too much of human credulity. This is why I believe that evolution is God's chosen method of formation.
What is evolution apart from natural selection? Are you suggesting that evolution is just god making stuff gradually over a long period of time? Do you believe that every quirk of evolution reflects a deliberate choice of God's? What about the giraffe's strangely elongated laryngeal nerve?
If you believe that God is behind each and every step of the change in animals over time, then you really don't accept evolution. Natural selection is evolution. God doing it slowly over time is just another take on creationism.
