First off, I thought this was incredible entertaining. Nice job for that.

The second thing I'd like to say is I don't think the counterargument to evolution quite holds.

1) We can not know the other options when it comes to psychophysical harmony based on different laws of physics. In order to presume a low probability of such a thing, you would need to know all of the other possible options of any sort of psychophysical harmony, compare them to each other (which is better for knowing reality and which is worse, then say that the statistical odds given the time passed is so statistically significant that it would require either a very low probability event or god--perhaps defined as an external force of nature pushing to a specific cause that we as humans like).

2) You must also account for the time it takes for certain evolutionary adaptions to take. Perhaps if it were to go for a lot longer, the pressure may be able to select for a trait that we may find today to be egregious.

3) This also presumes other worlds interpretation --in which it is possible to conceive of other things given other circumstances--which I'm also not sure can be done.

TBH, I'm not fully convinced by even my counterarguments, but I'm curious to hear what you would say to these. Gonna think about it more.
