I like how this thread continues even though the OP was banned.

OK let's say that God created everything. Can you explain please specifically how he made animals and humans on this planet? What material/methods did he use? Has he got a bag of skin and bones lying around in his tool shed?

Quantum entanglement has nothing to do with invisble imaginary friends and the way you're trying to us it to prove God is wrong.
Understanding of the universe, quantum theory and evolution has advanced massively in the last 100 years and we're getting closer to a theory of everything.
As I posted before, here's your answer to quantum entanglement, no God needed.....

Do you genuinely not understand how genetic inheritance works?
Mutations can be passed on so no do not require trillions of simultaneous changes across the population.
If you believe it does show a source as already asked otherwise its an obvious strawman.

Apparently better than you...
Mutations can be passed on so no do not require trillions of simultaneous changes across the population.
A single nutation in a single organism MIGHT be passed on if said organism mates with another that does NOT possess the same mutation.
But in order for a a mutation to be propagated throughout an entire species to the point of permanency, the same exact random mutation would have to occur in millions of individual organisms (this all by itself is the definition of not random) in the same species, and said individuals would have to mate and pass it on enough times an in enough quantity for the new trait to become permanent.
When I said trillions, I was talking about the cumulative number of mutations required to change one species (e.g. cro-magnon man) into an entirely new species (e.g., homo sapiens).
If you believe it does show a source as already asked otherwise its an obvious strawman.
As already answered, the source is pure logical, rational thought. Try it sometime.

Its like these people think Darwinism is still some top contender to explain evolution, and like your suggestion above we are 1000x pass Darwinism in what we know today about evolution. A really good book to read is "what Darwin got wrong".

Evolution is a fact and it's been demonstrated 1000 difference ways

Show one example of a population of organisms that have evolved into something distinctly new. Even a bacteria becoming a different kind of bacteria. Should be simple if there was 1000s of demonstrations of evolution
I'll save you time... there is no such thing. It relies on faith

Every time I read your posts like this it tells me you really have no clue, and you don't want to, so why bother? There will be the fastest, biggest, strongest, smartest... Who says we are the smartest...
evolution
Definitions
noun A gradual process in which something changes into a different and usually more complex or better form.
noun A result of this process; a development.
noun Change in the genetic composition of a population during successive generations, often resulting in the development of new species. The mechanisms of evolution include natural selection acting on the genetic variation among individuals, mutation, migration, and genetic drift.

You keep wanting to compact 10 million years of micro changes into big leaps over short periods of time, and then say that is your proof.

So again, your opinion, and the opinions of evolutionists must be true and anyone else must be wrong just because you say so.
Have you ever heard of the law of probability? No? In order for the simplest life form to exist it needs over 400 proteins that are essential to life. The law of probability tells us that for just ONE protein that is essential for life to exist it would occur over 1 time in 10>104.

Life on Earth supposedly started 3.7 billion years ago. That shoud have been more than enough time for "evolution" to make the human body "more efficient." But that did not happen. So tell me, why hasn't "evolution" made human bodies, and the body of every other living being, more efficient, better, stronger? Why do human bodies have so many flaws? By now our human bodies should have "evolved" to be better, not worse.

Just compare humans today to humans of 1000 years ago, some rather big differences. Keep going back and at some point we can not breed anymore with each other once the difference reach a certain point.
All evolution is about is making offspring. What goes into that and affects it is a rather massive list, but evolution stops at the child birthing years. Look at sickle cell disease in Africa. It protects them from malaria but shortens their life span by a good deal, but since that shorter lifespan is past child bearing years it does not matter with evolution, and so it will not improve.
If we made babies lets say into our 70s then we would not have as many issues we see after 40 right now as offspring that are born much later on would slowly fix those issues or die out and not have offspring into their 70s.
The biggest jump in evolution was caused by the start of the predator and prey scenario. For billions of years life was rather stagnate in evolution since there were little reasons to cause change then some simple lifeforms found a way to get energy from other lifeforms and the arms race started at a massive level of offence and defense with a rather huge change cycle driven by being eaten or not, or being able to eat or starve out. Back and forth in a never ending dance that has pretty much caused all we see in life around us today.
