Evolution doesn't require a God, so why create an unnecessary step and include Him

No scientific theory requires a god. Why single out evolution?

Yes, indeed, that's a good question. As far as I know the first who said: "Sire, je n'ai pas eu besoin de cette hypothèse." was Laplace, an astronomer ;-)

Auto repair doesn't require a God either, I'm waiting for ShadowAce to next declare:

"Auto repair makes at least one major assumption that cannot be proven by science. It assumes that there is no God. Yes it does, as it attempts to use nothing but tools and diagnostics to repair cars. There is no reference to a God (or His absence) anywhere within the auto repair manual, thus it assumes He is persona non grata."
Then insert "meteorology", "computer programming", or hundreds of other fields of study for "auto repair" and rinse, repeat.

Think ShadowAce will get a clue now?

Me neither.
