from my understanding of evolutionary theory, the belief is that random mutations and natural selection operate together in producing new species. (so both processes need to be focused on; not one or the other.)
however, the fact that these mutations are random in a naturalistic sense does not say anything about whether or not God planned them.
it seems to me that God, being all powerful, could plan out random mutations.

I know that it is not popular to attribute human qualities to God but if Man is made in God's image, then he must have some of our qualities. Boredom and curiosity?

I would consider it entertaining to create a universe of foward moving rules and see where it lead to.

Just look how popular SimCity and other such games are.
