God did not Create Life with the wave of a Hand. He Created a Universe that is an incubator for the Creation of Life. He did so with the Creation of the First Four Laws of Physics in the First Second of the Big-Bang. All the rest of the Universe has Evolved in accordance with those First Four Laws of Physics, including but not limited to all the rest of the Laws of Physics.

Nature is God's means of providing for His Creation, so arguing the senselessness of the Natural Evolution of Life in favor of Divine Creation is senseless since the Natural Evolution of Life IS God's means of providing for the Creation of Life, unless of course you mean to suggest that not even God could develop the means by which Life might Naturally Evolve from the very substance of Creation itself.
