Ockham's razor is a suggestion about explanatory redundancy which seems to have passed you both by. It tells us to postulate entities only in so far as they are required for explanation. The postulation of the supernatural endowed with limitless power is both an extra entity and an empty one, since it does not in fact present a mechanism for explanation, it merely dismisses explanation, for omnipotence has no bounds and an infinity of mechanisms could be employed, rendering any one particular mechanism meaningless. Physics, chemistry and the modern synthesis are mechanisms by which the entities we seek to explain, namely the organisms of the biosphere, in fact explain themselves, without the postulation of the extra divine entity.

And no, evolution doesn't violate entropy. You want a list of how many self-organized local examples of order the universe holds while continually either maintaining or gaining entropy? Think about it, there are a great many.
