Yomin, the problem I have with your argument is that you fundamentally returned to the same argument that many supporters of ID have defaulted to. Simply stated, "The universe is too complex, therefore there must be a creator". Unfortunately, this argument essentially says "we don't understand it, therefore it had to be supernatural".
A lack of understanding does not imply the existence of anything, let alone the divine.
Keep in mind, there was once a time where man thought lightning was thrown down from a guy on a mountain. There was a time when man thought the earth was the center of the universe, and everything revolved around us.
As knowledge and awareness grow, the need for reliance on supernatural explanations declines.
Furthermore, you seem to have a very distorted view about the Theory of Evolution. Contrary to your apparent assertion, the primordial soup did not suddenly stand up in the form of a human being. You've taken toughly 3 billion years of progression and over-simplified it into two steps.
