But of course all of that is perfectly consistent with your thought that God made the world and that it then evolved over time.

If one maintained that God made the species such that they didn't have a common ancestor then that would be inconsistent with the claim that all presently existing organisms have a common ancestor, however.

One could attempt to say that God is the common ancestor.

That wouldn't be inconsistent with evolution by natural selection but then that wouldn't be a scientific hypothesis either...
