What rpcman previously said, linked below, still holds true today.
: 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.
