If de Broglie is right and everything is a wave, then wave mechanics controls everything.

One should always watch a movie from the beginning.

In the absence of space, things cannot exist.

In the absence of time, events cannot occur.

Space/time - not wave mechanics - is at the root of the physical realm. The dynamics of space/time gives rise to wave mechanics.

Or to put it another way, space and time do not pre-exist, they are created as the universe expands.

If you believe that wave mechanics is at the root, then you must also have some explanation for the origin of inertia, space and time - and of course, physical causality.

Do you accept natural selection on any level?

LOLOL! This strikes me as humorous because it is tantamount to asking whether I accept that accidents (or unintended consequences) happen.

The scene of the Dodo birds in the animated film "Ice Age" comes to mind. It was hilarious, the point of the scene being that they were too stupid to survive.

If you say so. Is the universe expanding? Does time and space depend on an expanding universe? I don't know.

What is is. If we are waves, and selection events like asteroids or gamma ray bursts are waves too, then evolution reduces to destructive or constructive interference between waveforms. Reality becomes the inevitable consequence of an initial asymetry in the birth or rebirth of the universe. We are then simply the result of anti-entropic local forces in a universal sea of entropy.
