As usual, the repliers are getting caught up in the strictest definitions of the terms themselves.
While man creates with his hands, God has set in place a system of creation that works without his constant intervention.
If God had had one great creative burst, with everything set in place in a grand static design, by now, all life would have ceased to exist.
Evolution and creation are intertwined, since evolution is the maintenance mechanism that allows life to adapt to the constant changes that surround us all.
For men to become embroiled in an argument that one mechanism exists and the other doesn't, is truly missing the point.

Actually, you're missing the point, which is: why would God need to employ two different mechanisms of awareness,
I think this question would necessarily need to be aswered to justify your position.
Clearly, man is unique in God's creation, and his uniqueness is inextricably connected to his awareness and intelligence.
If, somewhere along the line of evolution, God were to imbue a primate, or primates, with a soul, then their awareness and intellignece would necessarily need to be altered profoundly, otherwise, what is the point. Such a condition would be indistinguishable from the evolutionary process which would take us there eventually anyway. There simply would be no further need for God to interfere in a system that would acheive the same results.
That said, we certainly see no evidence of a profound shift in behavior as can be extrapolated from the fossil record, and to suggest that God imbued whatever organism or existent (that evolution suggests is the common ancestor of all animal life an earth) with a soul, would simply be an absurdity.
