Evolution does exist, but it does not explain creation, nor does it explain "quantum leaps" in biological developments.
Current evolutionary theories suggest Shakespeare can be written by random ordering of letters over time, if we simply keep killing off the bad combinations of letters and reproducing a new set of letter combinations using the surviving letter combinations and random bits of new letter sets. But it does not explain how the letters came to exist in the first place, why the letter sets should desire to repoduce at all or how it is determined what combination of letters are good, or which are bad to be killed off.
Why do molecules frolicking in the soup wish to reporduce and live at all?
There must be a "life force", if you like, that drives the molecules to expend energy in the direction of reproduction.
Nature does nothing without a force driving the change.
You are a few hundred years behind. The details of biochemistry and metabolism are pretty well understood at this point. There is no need to invoke any kind of mysterious "life force" to explain biological systems.
And there is no "wishing" of any kind. A molecule that can "reproduce" is simply catalyzing copies of itself and be overrepresented in a pool of other molecules (isnt this self evident?). Get enough of these replicators to band together and you have the beginnings of a metabolism and "life".
