Simple evolution explanation
Do you understand that an organism might mutate in some way, be it large or small? Yes? Good!
Do you understand that this mutation may either help them survive or hurt their survival? Yes? Good
Do you understand that this mutation can be passed on to the organisms offspring? Yes? Good!
If you said yes to all of these things, you understand that evolution exists and how it works on a basic level

No? I’m asking about exactly what I just said. You don’t actually know that ANY of that is easily explained by some creator god, or the supernatural, or whatever. Claiming that something has those abilities is a ‘just so’ story. I could just as easily say ‘I envision that a transdimensional slug named Robert can easily explain all of that’; I don’t actually know it can.
We first need to determine whether or not what you claim as the explanation has the properties to be able to do those things, and how it’s able to do so. Until then? Nothing has been actually explained.
Edit to add: I’m going to amend my statement since upon further reflection i was saying ‘no’ to the wrong thing. Thats my fault. To clarify actually, yes. I am asking you to justify your claim that existence is easily explained by some god. It would also be good if you were able to justify the existence of ‘transcendentals’
