Even if evolution was disproved tomorrow, that still doesn't change the fact that there are skeletons of different forms of humans. So if God is so perfect and know everything, why would he need to experiment with different forms of humans? Unless God didn't create humans and something else did.

So basically, in order to make the 6 days "fit" you simply multiply it with a number you pick?

You didn't watch the video. Watch it and then come back with context to your statement.

If you consider time dilation, you know why 6 days of creation fits into the golden spiral of PHI. 6 days is 15 billion years. All of it stated from God's perspective, not man's perspective. God is a Creator and creation is in states until day 6 when God finally said, it is good.

But the age of the Universe is 13.7 (+/- 0.1), not 15 billion years. Where is your God now?

There is missing information in your watch story. The person that found the watch had an ancient book that stated that the watch would show up on the shore around the time he found it. Further, the book stated how the watch worked and who made it. The islander's were able to verify this by taking the watch apart and seeing that the ancient book stated the case correctly. Not only this, the reason the watch was left there was so they would look back to the writer of the book.
Did you mean to leave this part out?
You realize that random mutations in genetic code have allowed certain subgroups of different species accomplish many feats their cousins can't...

Now what is possible is that things like believing in Chakras allows people to "let loose" and to calm down...and that obviously has a good effect. It doesn't mean Chakras are real, all it means is that it allows SOME people to calm down.
I meditate 20min every day because I have a stressful day job and day trade the forex market on the side...and that's stressful. And meditation helps me to calm down. But it works because I allow it to work, not because of some spiritual mambojumbo that has no bearing in reality...and I am aware of that.
Homoeopathy can work because of positive reinforcement. If you absolutely believe it works, that positive attitude can have a positive effect...but it isn't because of some herbal drops

I call that "adaptation". There is plenty of fudge factor there.
The example of Sherpas changing their blood to oxygen ratio is a minor swing. If a species was to adapt to say breathing nitrogen instead of just the amount of oxygen in the blood, then I'd say that was evolution. So, where are any examples of nitrogen breathers today?
And don't say plants because that was designed to be symbiotic. Humans O2---> CO2. Plants CO2--->O2. Kind of random, huh?

Good story, but I think you credit the "less than civilized" Islander with more than a passing interest. His day is filled with practical concerns, like making canoes, fishnets and gathering food. He might think the watch an interesting seashell but really if he took the time to "figure it out, he would starve. He would weaken and his skills would diminish and his fellow tribesman would think him "off the mark" for spending so much time frivolously.
In the end they would mount it on their altar and ignore it or simply throw it back to the ocean from whence it came.
