What? Took a leap off into crazyville here. Evolution is exceptionally well evidenced, so I would be quite interested to read your take on why it's too short of a time frame (4 billion ish years as Floridaman put it.) That date for first life is continuously pushed back as well, as we continue to find evidence further back in the geological record.
If for some reason you require more timescale, then perhaps panspermia theories are for you. But you don't need to insert "miracles". To borrow from your strange diminishing of the certainty of death earlier in that post, that's just to give yourself comfort on the unknown.
Edit: upon reading, I decided that panspermia would be sufficiently miraculous to qualify as a miracle, so perhaps I am being pedantic, but to me I read your post as inferring some sort of creator or creationist element, which is ####ing bonkers in this day and age.
