I think I see GC's train of thought here, and if I'm right, he's beginning to acknowledge evolution as a fact, if only in a round-about way.
He's astute in pointing out that a "higher intelligence" produced the results of changed species, which is akin to him giving a nod to the idea that only a god could have induced such a thing as evolution in the first place, in God's own little lab called "Earth".
If he can acknowledge the possibility of evolution though backed by his belief in God as it is, whether he's right about the process or not, it's still a win in my eyes.
