Let's ignore the second part.
What makes you think you have anywhere near the knowledge or expertise to go against the scientific consensus on this? Your statement above leads me to believe you're not religiously motivated on this subject, so what gives?
There are times you've mentioned stuff like how you think evo-devo might replace mutation and natural selection as the driving force of evolution. But biologists who specialize in evo-devo think that's nonsense! For instance PZ Meyers (whom I'm sure you hate, but nevertheless specializes in evo-devo), says:
"evo-devo is a refinement of certain aspects of biology that has, we think, significant implications for evolution, especially of multicellular organisms.
It is not a new engine. People who claim it is understand neither development nor evolution." (Emphasis mine)
I even understand religiously motivated evolution nonsense. I at least see the motivation behind it. I just really don't understand your position, not even a little bit.
