So it's intelligent and guided?

There's more evidence to prove evolution than there ever has been
This seems to be the most popular defense of evolution. "look at all the evidence", without being able to actually pin-point the particulars. That's how propagandists like it, they want you to believe blindly, and to blindly believe there is so much evidence for it. I don't blame you, we've had evolution hammered into our heads from a very young age. But name a part that you think is substantial evidence for evolution and I can show you why it's nonsense. I've studied it most of my professional career and every single aspect of the "evidence" is a house of cards.
Want me to prove to you evolution exists? You were but a spec in your fathers nutsack at one point. Yet, you are now typing on an electronic device arguing that God created everything.
There is no possible mechanisms that could have evolved an organism from asexual to sexual reproduction. You would need random chance mutations to be able to simultaneously create a male and a female sex cell that would be compatible with each other. The odds of a beneficial mutation are:
1 in 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,
000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
source
And this is just the odds of making one successful alteration to a protein sub-unit. in order for an organism to emerge from asexual to sexual reproduction would require these odds to hit countless times to create both the male and female sex cells and the necessary components that allow it to persist. There is no possibility for intermediate forms, because if the asexual organism grew male sex cells first, it would die off immediately because there are no female sex cells to receive it. And again, even the most basic parts of generating cells that create sperm is astronomically unfathomable for random chance to create, let alone the necessity of simultaneously creating a complementary female sex cell.
Therefore, Biological life requires a Logical Creator.

Pin point the particulars? There's scientists who devote their live to studies of this. Should maybe talk to one. I question your credentials of studying extremely.
Biological life does not need a biological creator.

What made your inteligent force?
There was never nothing, otherwise there could never be something, since something cannot come from nothing. This Something therefore never did not exist. Since Something always existed, there was no need for this Something be made. From this eternally existent One comes all things.
Tl;dr God always existed and therefore never needed to be created.

'evolution did it' is just as much of a cop-out as 'God did it'. Evolution can't be observed so it's faith-based.
It makes more sense that intelligent creatures came from an intelligent source, rather than random chance mutations.

Some peoples faith and beliefs are just too overpowering. We got to just let them be in their ways I suppose. No point in arguing. I've given up on that just now.

Oh the irony of this statement. Have you ever witnessed a population of organisms evolving into something new? No, nor has anyone else. You all take it on faith and pretend its science.

Given the biological complexity from the micro to the macro scale, there is no possible mechanism for random chance to create these structures. ATP synthase is like a micro-motor that is hooked up to a hydrogen fuel cell generator (mitochondria). It's astronomically more likely to have come to be by intelligence rather than random chance. If you saw a car motor in the woods you wouldn't appease the idea that it came to be by random chance, yet when a motor is seen on the microscopic scale you assume it's random chance?

However arguing its the equivalent of evolution or based on anything other personal bias is either disingenuous or delusional.

You're saying that due to your bias for evolution. Without reproducible experiment it can't even be called a theory. It's pure faith.
I believe in intelligent origins, rather than unintelligent origins.

Yet you think your intelligent creator doesn't require any origin. You just handwaved them into existence.

It's the most obvious conclusion given the logical laws that persist in nature, and the logical constructs of biological beings. The solar system has been perpetuating at clockwork for the past known history, all according to mathematic precision. If that doesn't indicate design then I dunno what would. It certainly doesn't imply random chance.

There had to have been something that did not need to be created, otherwise nothing would exist.

100% agree.
Going from that to intelligent creator however is skipping a few thousands steps.

Because primordial ooze does not turn into a human therefore trillions of simultaneous mutations aren't required.
That is kind of the whole point of evolution in that it describes the mechanism by which different forms of life appear without one spontaneously turning into another completely different one.
