A. God decided that one day he'd make something out of nothing
and make only things he saw as "good" (though somehow things
turn bad later) he makes all the animals at once (no evolution
what-so-ever) and makes his first human out of dirt (even though
he could simply create him from atoms) God looks like a human
even though he is supposedly far beyond one and for some reason
needs eyes, a nose, and skin.
B.God or The Creator or simply The Law of the Universe is a being
beyon human comprehension that is unknowable and unseeable that created the universe with certain laws to keep it in order (including using the process of evoultion) and a entity that may or
may not care about human morality but rarely if ever interacts supernaturally.
C. Everything just happened. No laws governed it but it just sort
of popped up out of nothing. Random configuration.

I'm obviously an Atheist.

Expanded upon your "C"... the Buddhist way: All things arise due to causes and conditions (incl. thoughts and concepts) all things are changing and impermanent. Linear time is basically illogical, except as it applies to the need to function within the world you live in (i.e. like the 9-5 world), the concept of a creator god (omnipotent) is illogical... so on and so forth...
You might, just for kicks, giggles and snorts, enjoy reading "The Quantum and the Lotus" too. You read as intelligent. The book is by Matthieu Ricard and Trinh Xuan Thuan.

Why not A? We make things from scratch all the time. Ever heard the expression "from ashes to ashes and from dust to dust?"
Some of B. But God is not unknowable, that's why there is the Bible and the Church.
C is out of the question. Random configuration disregards laws of nature and why things happen the way they do. It throws common sense right out the window.
But you didn't really want us to pick an answer, though did you?

I'd say a mix of A and B and possibly some C...
God is a "spirit" though and thus cannot really be explained as a human being
God is beyond all human comprehension....God is involved in our lives through divine intervention though..He interacts with us through what we call our "conscience"...
Random configuration is also somewhat of a factor just in who you were born to and where...stuff like that...

A. Creationism
B. Intelligent Design
C. Pure apathy...
I think there are some people who genuinely don't care. They simply don't wonder about these things, and don't care whether there is a god or not... There are also those who are just poorly educated. These are both good examples of a c.
As for your question- D. None of the above.

The Almighty YHVH set up a system. He sent His “Son” YAHOSHUA to die for the sins of mankind so they would not have to. (They could choose to, but did not have to). Any person who chooses not to allow Yahoshua to take care of their sins, chooses to remain attached to their sins. They thus will wind up in the lake of fire which is YHVH’s method of cleaning this world, and eliminating sin and sinners. The Creator set aside the Seventh day for rest and worship. Yes that is the day usually called “Saturday”. We are not saved by obedience, we are saved by faith. However we are saved FOR obedience. As He said in John 14:15 (and in many other places) “If you love me, keep my commandments.
The only thing that will change a person is the indwelling savior Yahoshua. Obviously that is rare in this sinful world.

Well A & B are out instantly. C is too poorly thought out.
I choose D.
Laws of nature deem how things work and we're a natural extension of those laws.

None of the above. "A" is a terrible misrepresentation. Just as one example, orthodox Chr. does not teach G-d looks like a person.

For me, Its too much coincedence to be a random thing that we just evolved and all. No I can't explain the cave men.
