Part of the idea arises when you examine the viral content of the first few feet of the Ocean and discover there are billions and billions of different genes there (mostly in viral bodies, others in bacteria, others in archeobacter)

You don't need "evolution" if you can reach out and grab the genes you need. In fact, at some level microscopic bodies may have access to vast processing power in quantum structures and might even be able to figure out what genes they need before they seek them out.

I know that doesn't advance your particular Creationist view, but it sure does in Darwinian evolution at least at the microscopic levels.

We can move up the ladder to ourselves and it may be enirely possible that we have achieved our current form(s) because that's what happens if your clade acquires certain currently available free genes.

In short, we humans may be a case of self-organization but we simply don't realize it.

Finding more humans elsewhere in the universe might be instructive.

As are all forms of life.
