Can intelligent design and evolution exist concurrently in your theology? (perchance, the latter as a consequence of free will, or as a 'design automation' process like you might find in CAD software)

Evolution requires trillions of years to produce anything outside of a protoplasmic blob and ultimately wouldnt produce *any* form of life without some intelligent design to jumpstart it. Not to mention the whole issue of degerming what even constitutes as a species "evolving". Dogs are the same species as wolves generically, so are they evolving from wolves, or are dogs merely certain phenotypes present in wolf DNA that have been activated by humans expressing themselves? Theres also the issue with what is defined as a species, which can sometimes be arbitrary.
Creation on the other hand explains things much simpler and more concisely. I used to be a firm believer in evolution, but thinking back on it, evolution is a probability nightmare, whether the earth is 6000 or 6 billion of years old, it doesnt matter, something as advanced as humans (or even a slime mold) simply isnt going to be randomly generated in that period of time, especially when evolution essentially requires positive mutations to be more frequent than negative ones.
