"We don't have the slightest idea but it must have been evolution cause we believe there's nothing else"

You miss the point. Science cannot experiment or comment upon the supernatural. It exists only in the natural world and for the purpose of understanding Nature and her laws. Fabulous explanations are for the superstitious and they are welcome to their "beliefs". The genetic code has already proven beyond all doubt exactly what the fossil record and all the combined sciences have said for years. Evey step and kind of who lived where, when, and what is now being clarified by leaps and bounds. There is no rational way to pretend that any "revealed" text of nonsense wholly contradictory to these facts has any value whatsoever. At a later post I will explain how this code was thought to come about and why one code covers most (not all) of life. But right now I am going out for some poker which is far more interesting.

I will quote from the NAS.

"Creationism, intelligent design, and other claims of supernatural intervention in the origin of life or of species are not science because they are not testable by the methods of science. These claims subordinate observed data to statements based on authority, revelation, or religious belief. Documentation offered in support of these claims is typically limited to the special publications of their advocates. These publications do not offer hypotheses subject to change in light of new data, new interpretations, or demonstration of error. This contrasts with science, where any hypothesis or theory always remains subject to the possibility of rejection or modification in the light of new knowledge."
