I like Chinese food

I have six fingers on my right hand
That is not an explanation; it is a question.
Allow me to explain differently. Logic and proof are simple concepts. Proving anything should require the use of both logic and proof. Therefore, proving the existence of god and proving the existence of evolution would take essentially the same ingredients. Of course, the approach is different, but that is all. Your argument was that evolution is complicated and therefore should be proved differently than the existence of god because the existence (or nonexistence) of god is an absolute. Both are absolutes. They do or do not exist or occur. The fact that the existence of one or both is complicated does not change anything.
This test isn't about the process of proving something. In other words, it isn't about how you go about proving one or the other. Essentially, it is about what proof you require for yourself. According to the test, you require something different for evolution than you would for god, which is illogical.

That's neither here nor there.
