I just answered your challenge by providing examples of evolution proceeding by means of mutation, recombination, genetic drift, and natural selection, rather than needing a "Creator".  Why don't you deal with that that before moving the goalposts yet again?

I am not an adherent to the "naturalism" belief, which (whether you know it or not) sneaks philosophy/religion into science by creating a "natural" and "supernatural" dichotomy.

Stop moving the goalposts by expecting scientific theories to include your religious/philosophical beliefs.

If you do not hold to "naturalism" then you are the one introducing a "naturalism - 'something else'" dichotomy into the discussion.
You have yet to provide any evidence of anything other than natural entities, processes, and events.

Perhaps your excessive generalization has betrayed you.

The goalposts remain where they've always been -- learn how the world works.
You've contributed less than zero to that effort.

Consider, for example, your nonsense presented just a few posts above.
Provide empirical evidence for an actual (modern) scientist during the performance of science claiming that intelligence is not an emergent phenomenon of the material world -- that is, that molecules self-assemble (strictly according to the laws of physics and chemistry) into systems that aggregate until at some point intelligence, no matter how defined, appears.
Show us empirical evidence that an actual scientist during the performance of science claims that the aforementioned systems are not cellular.
Show us empirical evidence that an actual scientist during the performance of science claims that the aforementioned systems are not multi-cellular.

Your claims are banal, trivial, and lack all explanatory power.  They are strictly non-controversial until you start poncing around asserting that there's more here than naturalism -- without ever defining any of your terms.

You're not just a waste of oxygen, you're a waste of space.
