This gets tedious.
Then i wouldn't have to waste my time opening a thread that gives me no information, and forces me to comment not on the subject at hand but on the presentation.

Well here's the thing...it is highly probable we live in a Multiversal System and because of this every possible form of reality and possibility MUST EXIST.
Thus there is a 100% Probability that in one Divergent Universal State GOD must exist.
There is also a 100% Probability that in one Divergent Universal State GOD will NOT exist.
Such is the logic and reality of the Multiverse.

disagreed by Christians at least (i.e. God is Omnipresent)

You've got to be kidding right. Evolution is virtually opposite to what Genesis describes. Have you heard the saying "God means what He says and says what He means" ? Which is another way of saying that Genesis is to be taken literally. 7 x 24 hour periods.

For starters, maybe you should study the Bible before you make claims about it. The ark was big enough to easily house more than 70,000 critters. Look into it genius. Also, there is a lot of geological evidence for a global flood. Look into that also, and try to listen to both sides of the story.

"Well actually the person I was talking to didn't understand it, and apparently you don't either. Tiny mutations add up to make larger changes, it's REALLY simple, yet some how too complicated for you. Funny how you're all for criticizing something you don't understand but won't provide anything of value for your side."
For starters, you condescending pustule, don't talk down to me. The FACT is that small changes leading to bigger ones - i.e. one species to another HAVE NOT been proven or shown to have happened ANYWHERE. Just because you say so does not make it so. And why should I provide anything of value. You are the genii that are saying evolution is true, NOT US! The onus of proof rests on you.

I don't have much time to answer this question directly. But since you asked sincerely, I thought I'd share these with you:
The Origin of Life - Five Questions Worth Asking
and:
Was Life Created?
These are meant for sincere people looking for truth, so I thought you would find them useful in starting to answer your questions.
Sincere people? Yeah aslong as your a Christian right?
Two documents presenting themselves as scientific, but then attempt to shape and squeeze that science into a bronze age story book.
This is dishonesty of the highest order, and it only feeds the delusions of those already deluded. And that's exactly what you have attempted to do.
Sincere.....

No, you don't have to be Christian to be sincere. To be sincere is to be honest in wanting to know the truth.
There are many who may believe a certain way because that is what they have been taught. For example evolution is taught as a fact in school to children from an early age. In godless households these people may grow up wanting to know more, yearning to understand why they exist, if there really is a Creator.
Just because they don't know, or aren't Christians, doesn't mean they are not sincere. I am not here to debate, rather share information that may open sincere peoples eyes.
There are people who are not worth debating or arguing with. No matter how much proof or facts you give them, they will none-the-less refuse to believe. The words of God are quite fitting for them. Even he understands that his invisible qualities are quite evident in his creation, so that anyone who after taking a careful examination of the facts, without him literally telling them, it was him who did these things, should come to the logical conclusion that God does exist. That is why he inspired this scripture:
(Romans 1:20) . . .For his invisible [qualities] are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship, so that they are inexcusable;
There is no excuse at that point.
Whatever the chance is, it's greater than the chance of an infinitely more complex infinitely powerful creator appearing out of pure chance.

The argument you are using is basically saying, something that complex couldn't have happened by chance.
You apply it to a cell.
Then you imply that something else even more complex must have played a role.
What you have done with that argument is added the problem of introducing something even more complex, and now you have to explain where that came from, because using your argument, something that complex couldn't have happened by chance, so something must have created the creator. What was it?
You don't see the problem with that logic?
This has nothing to do with the existence of God, but rather the use of a faulty argument to try to prove his existence.

All finites are created. You know that to. Science like to call it; pop into existence. That arguement is about as good as when God said : Let there be light.

You can't even prove that "the infinite" exists. We don't know the universe is infinite, that's just one of many hypotheses.

Please cite some resources on this and show me where science says things like "pop into existence" or that all finites where created. Good luck. Big bang suggests the universe expanded after it was condensed, not that it just popped into existence.
