Dave,

A very similar question, with answer, is here:

http://www.talkorigins.org/origins/feedback/sep98.html

Again, you reject one explanation because you believe it to be short on some specific evidence yet propose your own answer which is totally and absolutely devoid of any supporting evidence.

On simple balance of evidence, evolution takes the honours every time as it is supported by overwhelming evidence from geology, immunology, embryology, morphology etc. In addition, more recently, this evidence has been absolutely confirmed by genetics - this is the ultimate proof for any branch of science, that a new branch of science should align so perfectly with what had been deduced before so as to provide absolute confirmation. The chances of this occurring by chance are so infinitesimally small as to be considered impossible.

Your god notion is pure superstition and fading fast in most educated western societies. Sooner or later, you will need to come to terms with that fact.
