The important thing you're missing in this question is that I included the phrase "within the currently known rules of physics?"
The currently known rules of physics and chemistry seem quite adequate to allow evolution to occur since mutations, recombination, and natural selection occur now. There seems to be nothing happening in any of those areas that violates known laws of physics.

You have said that God could have used Evolution to "create", but if this is true, then there would be an observable ruleset enabling evolution.

Of course, there is no ruleset enabling evolution, so this cannot be true.
Really? What physical restraint prevents many small changes from adding up to result in a big change over a period of time?

Unfortunately, you're wrong about what I believe.

I do not believe that God used the currently known rules of physics to create. He came from outside the system and performed "super"-natural acts to facilitate creation ("super"-natural means "beyond" nature, or outside the realm of natural processes).

This has been my position all along.
Science isn't built on what you believe but rather what you can provide evidence for.
Believe what you want but support what you want scientists to accept as valid.
