your only alternative explanation is “everything just happened randomly and here we are.”
Evolution is definitely not random. The mutations that show up are random, but the selection for them is very directed. If the traits give an organism the attributes to survive, it does and will pass those traits on. If not, it doesn’t. Your argument that it’s all random is typical creationist nonsense.
Neither approach, “intelligent design” nor “extremely long chain of random occurrences” can be empirically observed
We’ve observed evolution many many times. From the peppered moth to COVID and the flu, we observe evolution all the time. It’s the underlying science for all biology and none of it makes sense with out it.
Evolution is a theory that has thousands of proven data points to support it being true. And not one of those experiments has come back showing “goddidit”. Intelligent design is unscientific garbage pulled from a book of fairy tales.

We can observe evolution. We cannot observe if the steps are purely random.
E.g. if you mix eggs and butter and flour in a specified ratio and put it in an oven, it is not random that a cake evolves in the oven.
