"Well the First Law of Thermodynamics proves there is at least a Divine Creator."
Your post gives me a good chance to debunk two major religious misconceptions. First off, you are implying the matter would have to be created. And at first this would seem logical. However, like that other fella said, the first law does not apply to a singularity, which is the state the universe was in at the time of the big bang. Also to be considered is the fact that time is not some linear constant. Time is a dimension like width or height, so you can't consider the universe some unfolding story or something. If time is not a constant, the whole concept of "creation" becomes unclear. Also, evolution the process is fact. The method by which it takes place is the Theory of Evolution. Evolution is just what the arisal of more complex animals from less complex animals by some means is called. Animals evolve, and that can be observed with some birds and simple single-celled organisms. As a result, that evolution takes place is fact. The theory is regarding how it takes place. So, don't let yourself be thrown off by the word "theory."
Oh, another thing before you bring it up. The second law of thermodynamics does not apply to evolution. Many Creationists claim that the 2nd law says that higher complexity can't come from something less complex. They neglect the fact that the second law applies to a closed system though. Since the Earth recieves a constant huge supply of energy from the sun, it is by no means a closed system, and the energy necessary for something to become more complex from something less complex is easily supplied. A simple example would be water melting. The state of the water is becoming more energized, but this is allowed to happen because the water is in an open system, and heat(energy) is being supplied from somewhere.
