Your argument is based on a logical fallacy called argument from ignorance. Also known as god of the gaps argument.

Because you don't know or don't understand how something came into existence or could've been evovled, you go for a higher power which is the god you believe in.

Ahhhhh the ignorance card. Was waiting for this one. I perfectly understand the explanation the scientists give to life. I just think it is flawed and a few things does not make sense for me and that there must be more to it. 

It's ignorant to claim that things cannot happen by chance when you cannot even grasp the likelihood of a chance. If you look into how big the universe is, how old it is and how many chances it had to develop exactly what we are today it puts things into perspective.

1 person winning a jackpot that's 1:1000000000 is unlikely. When 1 billion people try to win a jackpot every day for a billion days it's extremely likely that one person will win it eventually.

Evolution already tells us how complex organisms developed over a long period of time from very simple organisms. We are the result of an unfathomable amount of failures in a trial and error experiment. You don't need intelligent design when you just try every possibility and see what sticks. That method isn't fast but it always works. That's why we adopted it in computers today.
