Since evolutionary theory is by definition a theory of naturalistic science, it implicitly does not allow the possibility of any supernatural involvement.

Well, no. I think science studies the observable. If the supernatural is observable, science can comment on it. Obviously that's not the case here.

Well, it’s not just a limitation on what science can study, it’s the basic nature of naturalistic science that they cannot account for the possibility of supernatural involvement in their theories. So to say that God created evolution, when evolution is a theory designed to explain the development of life without admitting the possibility of a creator, seems a little silly to me. If you believe God created life, especially if you believe in the Bible which describes how he created it, then why would anyone try to reconcile that with the imperfect theorizations of those who can only observe the remnants and aftereffects of his handiwork?
