Incorrect. The causes of evolution are apparent. Mutations are observed, as are natural selection pressures. These are adequate to explain the causes of evolution.

Ah. So you put limits on God, then. "I know what God cannot do."

And what exactly is a natural selection pressure?

Of course there are "limits" on God. God cannot be evil, God cannot know something that is false, et cetera. There are logical inconsistencies and not limitation on God's power. "Random" creation is no different. Randomness is the absence of sufficient predicability and you cannot suppose that an omniscient, omnipotent God cannot predict the path of his own creation. Its nonsense.
