That is an incorrect assumption on your part.
I have looked at many videos and read many books - including the Old Testament, Quoran, Tanakh and Torah.
If your whole argument is based on disbelief (that this random beginning of life couldn’t happen on its own)...
So please, what else do you have?
...
Yet many who believe in evolution automatically reject as irrelevant all such evidence for creation, saying it is not a matter for scientific consideration. However, do not let this narrow approach keep you from weighing the evidence. There is more in the following chapter.
...
“What distinguishes the human brain,” a scientist said, “is the variety of more specialized activities it is capable of learning.”(10) Computer science uses the term “hardwired” to refer to built-in characteristics based on fixed circuitry, in contrast to functions put into a computer by a programmer. “Applied to human beings,” one authority writes, “hard wiring refers to innate abilities or, at least, predispositions.”(11) In people there are many built-in capacities for learning, but not the learning itself. Animals, by contrast, have hardwired instinctive wisdom, but limited capacities to learn new things.
...
The Universe Within notes that the most intelligent animal “never develops a mind like that of a human being. For it lacks what we have: preprogramming of our neural equipment that enables us to form concepts out of what we see, language out of what we hear, and thoughts out of our experiences.” But we must, by input from our surroundings, program the brain, otherwise, as the book states, “nothing resembling the human mind would develop . . . Without that immense infusion of experience, scarcely a trace of intellect would appear.”(12) So the capability that is built into the human brain enables us to construct the human intellect. And, unlike animals, we have the free will to program our intellects as we choose, based on our own knowledge, values, opportunities and goals.
Language Unique to Humans
... In view of such innate abilities it is no surprise that a linguist said that chimpanzee experiments with sign language “actually prove that chimps are incapable of even the most rudimentary forms of human language.”(15)
...
Could such an amazing ability have evolved from the grunts and growls of animals? Studies of the most ancient languages rule out any such evolution of language. One specialist said that “there are no primitive languages.”(16) Anthropologist Ashley Montagu agreed that so-called primitive languages “are often a great deal more complex and more efficient than the languages of the so-called higher civilizations.”(17)
...
One neurologist concludes: “The more we attempt to investigate the mechanism of language, the more mysterious the process becomes.”(18) Another researcher says: “At present the origin of syntactic speech remains a mystery.”(19) And a third states: “The power of speech, moving men and nations as no other force, uniquely sets humans apart from animals. Yet, the origins of language remain one of the brain’s most baffling mysteries.”(20) It is no mystery, however, to those who see in it the hand of a Creator who “hardwired” areas in the brain for language capabilities.
Things Only Creation Can Explain

Present one piece of evidence and let’s discuss that, at least?

What I think is funny is knowing that scientists who deny creation.
With their petri dishes and controlled laboratory environments all
sanitized try desperately to be God but can't create even the
most simple life form.
But they want to convince people it happened on it's own against
odds that go to infinity in a hostile environment? How many magic
shows have you seen that didn't need a magician? You want proof?
You are the proof!
Scientists have created a living organism whose DNA is entirely human-made — perhaps a new form of life, experts said, and a milestone in the field of synthetic biology by researchers at the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology, who reported on Wednesday that they had rewritten the DNA of the bacteria Escherichia coli, producing a synthetic genome four times larger and far more complex than any previously created.“The achievement one day may lead to organisms that produce novel medicines or other valuable molecules, as living factories,” writes Carl Zimmer in Matter for the New York Times. “These synthetic bacteria also may offer clues as to how the genetic code arose in the early history of life.”

Dude why did you even bother with that? Rewriting the DNA in a life form
has nothing to do with creating life. Far from it.

They created the same life form using a life form and used words
to your advantage. They didn't breathe life into anything and you
know that's what we are referring to so stop.

I am referring to another way to create life via manipulating the building blocks...isn't that what evolution does with DNA?

Fair enough!
