This proper examining, unfortunately, leads to ideas like theistic evolution, but it's not my problem. I am fine with theistic evolution.
Lots of big words there. What is wrong with that first option? You seem to have a problem with the idea that we have a Creator? You rtheistic evolution is a crock.
Your theistic evolution is also misnamed, more properly, it is a-theistic. As it renders man as nothing more than an enormous ‘accident’ of nature. Hardly worthy of a theistic label at all.
