lots of other people of science who believe in Evolution say that random mutations time and chance just can't create organisms?
End Note: you're own guys are selling you out

You are misdrepresenting Gould's position.
"Let's say the human brain gets big for natural selection reasons. Let's say it's an adaptation. There are some things we needed to do on the savannas of Africa for which a big brain was good. Now that doesn't imply that everything the big brain can do is therefore an adaptation. But that's the error that many so-called evolutionary psychologists make. Our brains didn't get big so that we could write, so that we could read, so that we could compose operas, so that we would know the facts of our personal mortality -- those arise as side consequences of building a big brain for other reasons. Not to mention random things that occur in evolution. We wouldn't be here if the impact of a large extraterrestrial body hadn't removed the dinosaurs. That wasn't adaptation or natural selection. That was just a bad break. Mammals happened to survive because they were tiny little creatures that could hide -- because they never had any evolutionary success competing with dinosaurs. And so it's lucky that we're even here." ~ Stephen Jay Gould
Hoyle was a mathematician and astronomer... what he thought about evolution doesn't really count. At any rate, he was a champion of 'panspermia'... the idea that life did not originate on earth, but rather was 'seeded' by a rain of microscopic genetic material hundreds of millions of years ago.

"Evolution say that random mutations time and chance just can't create organisms?"
That's fine, because evolution doesn't say this.
There is NOTHING random about natural selection.
Do you have a valid question to ask, or are you going to continue to distort what the theory of evolution actually posits?

Natural biological evolution fails at all levels except for those species numbering more than about one quadrillion individuals with generation times less than three months and body sizes smaller than one centimeter.

LOL. This has to be a contender for the day's most ignorant "question".
Kid, you don't understand this topic nearly well enough to challenge scientists about it. All you're going to do is make a fool of yourself. Try something more your own speed.

There is no 'you're own guys' in believers in Evolution theory.
Nothing wrong with looking at nature at seeing how it works. Dont be too scared to ask questions and think about such things. You may be surprised, you may have something to say you know about.

Who is Michael Jay, and that other guy?
God created, and he guided evolution through his mighty hand.

Hmmmm... I'm a modern person and I don't believe in evolution.

I believe in Creation and have watched loads of documentaries disproving evolution - yet you'll always find people falling for it. We are all different I guess.
