The interesting thing is that most (all?) of the points you bring up (the old 2nd law argument, apparent difficulties of the fossil record, etc.) are not problems for the theory of evolution. These are only issues in the minds of creationists. Each has been refuted. I don't even understand alot of what you're talking about above (the universe willed itself into existence?).

Here's the deal: The theory of evolution is the only theory that has been put forth that adequately explains the evidence. Period. This theory has not been arrived at lightly or without any critical thought. It's not as if mainstream science has somehow "missed" something or is hiding some embarassing fact that shoots the theory down.

If you happen to have that "smoking gun" of evidence that proves the theory wrong, by all means, enlighten the world. If not, then I think you are forced to seriously consider the fact that the theory might just be correct.
