I asked this question: "Why do some Christians think God is one of the mechanisms of evolution?"
The best answer:
They're trying to keep their cult mythology relevant by unnecessarily shoving their god into a proven scientific theory.
The only problem, as usual, is that they have no evidence a god is even involved in 'designing' evolutionary forms, and if he is, there are some serious design flaws for an omnipotent all-knowing being. Like using the same tube for food, and air. Even the car designers love to compare humanity against knowing enough to keep fuel in its own system.
In fact, if you compare an engine's design to, say, the heart, you'll find human designers are a lot more competent than nature. It's not like we don't know why this is though. Nature is random, chaotic, and goes with what works best, easiest, and takes the least amount of resources to employ. No god required.
By trying to fuse scientific theory and Jewish fairytales, they get to continue to claim that the fairytales are 100% true, and 'inspired by gawd' etc. etc.
I don't know who they think they're fooling...but it isn't people with an understanding of evolution.

"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
