This "simple explanation" involves the introduction of an invisible, undefined, unexplained, and inexplicable entity

Like the introduction of a aimless random force that bring organization from disorder?

Selection is not random.

What "aimless force"? The aimless force underlying hurricanes? Or salt crystallization? Or formation of oil droplets on water? Or any biological mass accumulation (from human growth to tree growth to red tides)? Or self-assembled island growth in highly-mismatched semiconductor heterostructures?

Or do these occurrences too require for an explanation the introduction of a supernatural agency?

I'm sorry, but "turtles all the way down" is not synonymous with Occam's Razor.
