Which is to say, it’s not realistic, but it does come across as insecure and unthinking.

Why do you need a third-rate creator that can’t do anything unless He has a magic wand to wave things into existence? Ask yourself: Why do you put such limitations on your deity? Do you do it in order to reduce him to your meager level of understanding and ability? Is it a matter of “I do not understand, therefore it cannot be true!” ?? You’ve proven that YOU have a “need for a creator”, but you’re far from showing how that extends past your own limited intellect.

When did those two things happen (other than in the imagination and lies of creationists, of course)?

Bacteria are macro. Just because you want to define “macroevolution” so it is not what we’ve seen is shifting those goalposts.

Wake me up when you’ve got god poofing new species into existence in a lab.

(and look up cosmology, it’s not “explosion science”, you stupid boy, and it’s got nothing to do with evolution)

There has never been documented macroevolution. Darwin knew nothing about genetics and that was evident with his simplistic theory. The explosion in science has proven the need for a creator and the total inadequacy evolution. The unsolved problems are endless, you need DNA and the cell, how do you get both? DNA is information where is information created apart from intelligence. Sweeping statements aren’t science.

Expanding Earth hypothesis is not an alternative, although it is correct in that the globe does increase in quantity via impacts of comets and meteorites.
