It's inapropriate to attribute the unexplainable phenonema to the supernatural. You get things like astrology and bleeding in medical practice, the salem witch trials, faith healing, etc. etc. when you do that.

Of course the amoebas evolved (described in your stages to a multi-celled organism) but how into something as complex as hair, bone and skin and why so specifically? Did it sample something?

The multi-celled organisms began to develop into a larger and larger species. Some cells began to specialize. Soon you had many multi-celled organisms with cells specializing in different areas. Changes are small but cumalative. After millions and millions of years, you get multi-cell organisms that have a great deal of cell specialization. Some of the cells specialize in being bones, in being skin, and in being hair.
You're operating under the false assumption that we had to turn out the way we did. We came out the way we did because of chance mutations which passed the trial of surviving in the wild and later allowed future generations of that new species to flourish.

How come we didn't end up with a dead cell structure for a body?

Your outter layer of skin is composed of dead skin cells.

Could we not have been covered in wood?Maybe this is ignorance speaking again, and if it sounds like a sermon, I didn't mean for it to be. But I have to consider the other possibilities for why this <b>didn't</b> happen and why this <b>did</b> happen.

Because our ancestors(way way way way back when they weren't much more than amoebas) didn't develop any traits that would later be built upon through evolution resulting in an outter layers of wood.
