   Even if one granted those premises, there is no empirical evidence   
   that any kind of God has, in fact, evolved yet, so at best they would   
   suggest that such a thing is possible, not prove that a God exists.   
   But since the premises are trivially false (biological evolution is,   
   in fact, constrained by chemistry and physics), that's a moot point.
