Ok, so maybe God created the Universe, and had a hand in creating the first lifeform, then He used Evolution to create all the life we have today.

Its hard to imagine God doing trial and error, but that is exactly the scenario you are contemplating. However, that is how humans create and we are, after all, created in His image. Hmmmmmmmmm.....

I like to think God kept creating stuff and having fun and then getting even more inspired and having even MORE fun... and after a whole lot of that, He made dogs and cats, laughing and having a great time.

It isn't too difficult to envision some one with a long white beard scattering seeds across a very (very) large area in the hope or knowledge that SOMEWHERE in that space those seeds will take root.
