1. The law that all things go from a state of organization to disorganization if left on their own was broken when "nothingness" exploded (Big Bang Theory) - forming perfectly aligned planets around a star.

Well, you could also argue that an event like the big bang, where reference frames for physics are only just coming into existence might fall outside the laws of thermodynamics.
Also, there's a lot of math that deals with the idea of synchrony (indicidentally, a lot done at Cornell) that suggests order/chaos can be stable equilibriums....untintuitive as that seems.

2. Gases came together in a "soup" and used the power of lightning from constant storms to become amino acids...perfect building blocks to make life, which came together and formed a living organism..

A)
Miller?Urey experiment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
B) It's actually thought that eukaryotes came about when some nuclear material (likely from a protovirus/bacterium) got into a prokaryotic cell. (which is literally not much more than amino acids and a cell wall.....)

3. This organism decided it wasn't happy like that, and evolved repeatedly. At one point it kinda said "self replication is too hard...I think I'll cut my neccesary sexual organs in half...give one to each new "sex" and in order to reproduce we have to get together!"
|
So, the reason sexual reproduction is advantageous is because it allows for selective combination of alleles which code for traits....so....lady with nice hips and large boobs? Well, that's sexually appealing to (most) male organisms, because she's likely to be able to support children - which is whole point of reproduction.
In the same way that people along the equator didn't say "I think I'll have dark skin and hair"
If you're a single cell'er....your 'daughter' cells are going to be EXACTLY the same....sans a mutation. Bad news if something comes along that's good at killing you.

4. This organism and its offspring continued to grow and reproduce without ever being wiped out over a course of millions of years, finally forming everything from birds to monkeys.
|
So, there are about 6 billion humans on the planet today. Try guessing how many OTHER mammals there are, let alone other animals.....
Millions of years? try hundreds of millions of years. Y'know how you look different from your parents in just one generation of sexual reproduction? Imagine HUNDREDs of MILLIONs of years.
^ Number 5 is spot on in light of that...

if someone can honestly believe that without so much as questioning it, they are a bit odd, I don't care if you're Christian or not, the Theory of Evolution is hard to swallow.
|
And I suppose the Bible (which version? Which language? Which interpretation?) is a much more uniform set of logical assumptions that follow from massive amounts of evidence to give a theory which may be evaluated by more evidence and testing, right?
Also, thinking of God as a being is.....contradictory at best....
Because it allows me, a mere mortal to say....
I AM NOT GOD
That might seem a little misplaced in its boldness, but; If I can say I am NOT God...god is NOT me (see where this is going?) then god is LIMITED. We understand differences by the limitations between two things. If God isn't me - God is limited. A Car and a dog are the SAME in that they can both move - different in that a car doens't have fur. It's limited with respect to fur. If God isn't one and the same as the universe, god is limited with respect to it!
That doesn't really work well with the idea of God.
