Science is based on logic. Nowhere does science support your position.

Well, one of two possibilities exist. Either the earth cooled, formed
water, created primordial amino acids which somehow morphed into
single celled life, which then somehow determined the need to further
specialize and diversify, and all species evolved from there. Somehow
they knew that we'd need plants to make oxygen, for the animals that
need it. Some species would become food for others. All of this raises
many questions, the biggest of which is what force drove these single
celled organisms to improve and specialize themselves? What drives
evolution? Can accidental random mutation answer these questions
satisfactorily.

The other possibility is that our existence was carefully guided by an
intelligent force. Applying Occam's razor, which scenario is easier
to believe?

Our whole ecosystem, the intricate
specialization of the various functions of our
bodies and other aspects of nature are far too
complex to have occurred and evolved at
random.

Now THAT is one hell of a subjective opinion.

Yes, but it based on probability.

But keeping with that, who said it was random? Natural evolution and
selection explains away any coincidental occurrences that you may
mistake for "random".

But what drives evolution? If random mutations are the basis for
evolution, then what prevents "bad mutations" or several different
mutations from leading us down even more diverse paths?

Natural selection only answers some of those questions.

There is simply not enough order in chaos for
this to happen.

You are claiming this oxymoron (chaos in order) does not exist. I
agree.
Whiole Darwin's theory has yet to be proved because of a single missing
link, it is the most widely accepted scholarly and scientific (IE:
logic, logical) belief.

There is much scientific evidence to support the theory of evolution.
I am not trying to discount it at all. Quite the opposite, I totally
endorse the concept of evolution. The difference is that I believe
that evolution was "helped" along by an outside intelligence.
