Gos has clearly stated that He has given all the proof necessary to believe in Him- it’s all around us- and science backs that up- it is mathematically biologically, thermodynamically, chemically impossible for evolution to have occurred- - even just one of those impossibilities alone would be enough to doom the hypothesis, but taken altogether- it’s a zero change that it happened- so the only other possibility is that an intelligent designer was needed to create irreducibly complex lifeforms- the evidence is clear- God was needed- I have only ever seen two possible explanations, and one turns out to be impossible on several levels- that leaves only one viable alternative- and His fingerprints are everywhere- He even states so in His word statign that man will be without excuse because hte evidence was abundant and they chose not to accept it

I disagree with your ideas of "impossible", but may I also suggest, you're asking the wrong questions?
Look at it this way:

  1. Question: Is God perfect?
    Answer: yes, by any definition we might concoct.
  2. Question: Did God create the heavens and Earth perfectly according to His intent or plan?
    Answer: yes, that's what Genesis 1 tells us.
  3. Question: Did God create His Universe so imperfectly that it ever since requires His constant interventions, corrections, modifications, extinctions & improvements, or did He design His Universe perfectly to do those things naturally, without His constant monitoring & meddling?
    Answer: I think God created a Universe good enough to perform most of its basic functions naturally.
  4. Question: Does God ever interfere with natural processes, as in miracles?
    Answer: Yes, but so far as we know only to impress flawed humans with His supernatural powers.
  5. Question: does the Bible insist on any specific methodology by which God accomplished His creations?
    Answer: not really.

My point is: only a physically imperfect Universe would require God's constant intervention in natural events to accomplish His purposes.
Of course, God does intervene to impress us, that's why we're here.
But also, our free will requires us to work hard to find Him amidst order & chaos in the natural realm.
