So evolution would occur exactly the same way whether or not God exists?
Science is unable to address what effect, if any, the existence of any supernatural entities have or would have on the workings of the natural universe. The theory of evolution, as it stands, relies upon no supernatural agents and invokes none in its operation because such elements are outside of the realm of scientific inquiry.

That's a nice protected position to be in. Science can neither prove nor disprove God, nor His relationship to the events we see in the universe, so we're to assume God's irrelevant and the events we observe have nothing to do with God.
Surely you can see that people of faith find that anything but neutral.
Is science so fragile that it can't function if someone even so much as suggests that one possibility is that God designed things?
What's your opinion on SETI?

What science is unable to address is whether any supernatural entities exist nonetheless..
