No. All of that was part of His ultimate plan in creation. "Evolution" suggests randomness, things changing as a means of adaptation. There is nothing random about the eternal plan of redemption.

So God is allowed to have an "ultimate plan in creation" and allow it to unfold in time, but He's not allowed to use "evolution" in order to do any of this? Is that your position?

"Evolution," at least as understood by some as "Intelligent Design" does not imply randomness at all. At best, there may be "seemingly-random" things, but we lack the infinite understanding of God.

You treat the word "Evolution" as a bogeyman.

Absolutely not. Everything points to the ultimate glory of God, namely His triumph over evil.

Everything, that is, except seemingly-random adaptation of species as a part of God's plan of creation. I am not bothered by the fact that God's method of creation is too complex for a human to understand. I am also not bothered by things like light behaving sometimes like a wave and sometimes like a particle. I don't need my understanding of God's creation to be tied up neatly in an easy-to-grasp package.

That explains your disregard for scripture. You'd much rather wander off on your own little tangent. I, on the other hand, need things explained to me in simple terms. And while the Bible can be difficult to understand at times, it is about as "easy-to-grasp" as it gets.
