I said evolution is not inconsistent with a theistic world view. I never said it did not contradict any religious tenets.

This would be true is evolution were truly blind. However since evolution is guided not everything can be realized.
I will have one more go at this to see how honest you are being in your inability to see how ridiculous you are being.
This pig-like creature lived in India about 55 million years ago. It was about the size of a domestic cat.
What did it become?
If you know that's fine - but are you really claiming its off-spring were potentially predictable? A potential target? Guided design?
What designer - if aiming for the target state of today's creatures (its offspring) would start from here?
