What makes you think it (God) isnt bound by knowledge or time?.. It could be that it is in fact bound..perhaps less so than us because it lived longer and posseses more knowledge.

That picture is a perversion of genetics whereas evolution is driven by progressive and gradual genetic response the environmental changes, particularly when changes are severe in nature, requiring adaptation to thrive.

Having said that, what couldve required a fish to change into a lizard into an ape into a man in only a short billion or so years? Physical adaptations, such as gills, extra limbs, changes in dermal texture... those things are gradual responses.. but very few things, with the possible acception of modern birds even tho their change wasnt so drastic, would call for a shift of phylums.. that is category of animal from marine to reptilian to mamalian to complex mammalian.
