I don't have much time so my reply will be briefer than it should...
First of all, you have some good (and some not so good) questions. The not so good ones could be eliminated or improved through a better understanding of physics/cosmology and perhaps biology. A bigger dose of what the scientific method is and what it seeks to accomplish would be helpful too.
The major problem with your logic is it is basically an argument for the "god-of-the-gaps theory"--a theory with a horrible track record. Not only does it have a bad history (i.e. god(s) keep shrinking under this theory) but it raises a bigger question than it answers.
