My take on evolution has always been that if there is a god, and he's all powerful and can accomplish everything, then it would actually be a better idea to create a world that has the ability to create itself through systems such as evolution.
In that way, 1) god does not leave anything around to prove himself (and as Douglas Adams pointed out, proof denies faith and god thrives on faith. 2) the system is stable and nothing in it is incompatible (which doesn't make sense unless you've read some of the Myst books and seen the way that Ghen puts together worlds by taking scraps from other ones and they always are stable for a while but fall apart (not that an all powerful god could eliminate such incompatibilities, but still...))
