Obviously it cannot be observed because the planet is 4.5 billion years old and humans (in modern form) have been around for 200000 years. However through science we have been able to show that evolution has occurred using genetics and fossil records for example.

I get that, but it in no way takes God out of the equation. Evolution is nothing more than a mechanism.

Right so then hypothetical God didn't create all life it has emerged because of evolution. As I stated in a previous post if you want to say God is the Big Bang that's ok but the evidence doesn't support the stories of the creation of life.

God could very easily have guided all of evolution to bring about humans. If evolution as it's commonly explained actually happened, I don't believe that God just let it go however. His purpose was to create humans, so if we evolved here then he was instrumental in the process.

You can't have it both ways it can't be random mutations and guided by the hand of God. More importantly why the -blam!- would God create species to evolve to us if his goal was to have humans from the start?

I'm not saying it happened that way. I'm saying that if evolution happened it was directed by God. If he used evolution, I'm not sure why he did. He's the creator, I'm sure he had a reason.
