So, if we trained different members of the same species in random ways, and then used a selective algorithm based on evolution, you would end up with highly fit animals after a long enough period of time. This algorithm needs no intentional agent to guide objects in the same way that gravity needs no intentional agent. Life evolves based on the non-intentional "guidance" of survivability.
If you want to believe that god guided evolution, fine, but don't go around saying that evolution has theistic implications when you clearly don't have a solid foundational understanding of the subject.
Evolution, as a means of creation, is set it and forget it. It isn't guided by God on a constant basis. If that is what you are implying I said, your making a straw man argument.
