You have put a lot of work into this! It does seem that we don't have a scientific explanation of the origin of life.
But the mutation of DNA due to several factors including cosmic rays does occur, and it has been observed to occasionally
produce non-lethal changes in organisms that are then subject to natural selection. In deep time these changes can
accumulate to the degree that a new species can be identified. So say those with much more knowledge than I!
Meanwhile, efforts to understand Creation continue! It is so wonderful.

I suppose there could be a few small positive DNA changes in things like viruses, but natural selection accounts for changes in animal species, not evolution.
ALL of creation and ALL species could not have been made by series of acidental small changes. It is enormously too complicated and synergetic.
(And creation is way too vast and interconnected for aliens to come and tweek it, all over the world, for billions of years. It is also unthinkable that
aliens planted 8.7 million species of plants and animals on sand, rock dust, or lava waste or in life-less water and all of them lived.

Stars are billions of light years away, and we see them, so the universe must be billions of years old.

If God wanted people to be able to see stars he simply made the stars AND their rays hit the earth when He made man. Since God is so
creative, with infinite
intelligence, He probably also planned for "new" stars to show up in our sky for variety as well as giving us different colors and sizes to look at.
Take a look at this article on why scientists need to rethink how galaxies formed: https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/22/world/webb-telescope-massive-early-galaxies-scn/index.html

Why does every species have the same kind of DNA, proteins, amino acids, vitamins... if they did not come from the same original ancestor?
|
|
Having the same components does not mean that all plants and animals came from the same ancestor. God simply created them that way.
Perhaps this kind of conformity, by way of God's design, causes plants to be useful food for the animals. Also quoting
Human Evolution Disproved: "After all, DNA is not
called the genetic code for nothing. Just as different software programs on a computer have similar sections
of code because they perform similar functions, the same similarity exists between different creatures in certain sections of their genomes.
This is not evidence that one evolved from another but rather that both creatures were engineered along similar basic principles.
DNA similarities between different creatures are evidence of common engineered design, and the fact that the differences in these DNA
sequences are unexplainable by alleged evolutionary processes is also strong evidence of design."

How could there be no death? What would the lions and tigers eat?
|
| Some people say they ate plants but I am not convinced.
If God told the adult rabbits and mice He just created to be fruitful and multiply, I think we might have too many very quickly if nothing ate them.
I think that death entering into the world meant spiritual death. Mankind no longer knew, loved and served God naturally, without His grace.

What about the geological column?

Didn't scientists prove that lightning could cause organic matter to form?
|
| Do you believe that destructive lightning could fall thousands and thousands of times in one primordial microscopic place of water within an hour or maybe a day, and not disperse or destroy the supposed first or preceding peptides and nucleic acids accidentally there but instead millions of them some how came into being by chance and accumulated, in a very short time (time is of essence because they will float away and also not last) in that extremely small place, in exact correct numbers, in correct combinations, and in a certain order, to form a single first cell, especially when the parts have no means to even propel themselves (to randomly "try" new locations)? The single most primitive cell has very complex DNA code inside its nucleus, probably over half a million information bits, and the rest of the cell (probably 99 times the weight) also had to be assembled having complex proteins and other things in order to live and reproduce, and do you think it all happened by chance with the help of lighting? The complexity and numbers are mind-boggling. It could not have just happened. See https://john1010.wpengine.com/video/first-life/
