Instead of tinkering with evolution like the Intelligent Designers believe, I believe God instead built inside organisms a “program” that evolves organisms to higher complexity. This way evolution is directed, creative and takes a lot less energy. He doesn’t always have to be modifying the genes all the time.
In other words evolution would be like the free-market system. Free to evolve without much intervention.
Actually the idea about evolution going from lower to higher complexity is not new. French Jesuit Pierre Teilhard de Chardin proposed that the universe evolves to a point called the Omega Point. Of course, that’s just a theory like my idea of evolution. Knowing the mind of God is always a tricky business.
