Evolution: the case of the locally limited God

Evolution undeniably exists. We can see its effects, and now we know how it works. Many of those who believe in God deny evolution. Those think: the evolution would take the creation away from God. But God may still be needed to create life even with the existing process of evolution. We can't disprove God's existence because of evolution. Instead, we could learn about God's capabilities. What can we learn about God, if we assume that He created life, and we know evolution is real too?

It means that God can’t know everything that happens in the future. It doesn't mean that He can't know everything, which exists now, only means that He can't predict the future with absolute accuracy. What can we learn from this limitation? Is it means that He can't be a real God because He has a limitation? Not at all. There are systems, which future states can't be predicted, not even theoretically. It is not about our limitation of knowledge, but it is the type of the system. Our system, I would say our world, our universe may not be predictable even locally in an absolute manner because of our system such a type.

Even if our system is not an unpredictable system, still we can see, evolution exists. It means that God's knowledge has limitations predicting the future. Even locally. We can be almost certain: if we have, we have locally limited God.
