No, because the creator would have to have been created by the created which were created by the creator.

I am a Christian evolutionist. Evolution make sense to me because that's the way I would have done it. It sounds more logical than the, oh, say, "Lego block" method of putting things together. (Not to be mean to anyone - it just seems more sensible. Zeus and those guys would have been more in the "Lego block" line of creating to my thinking.)
I don't know if God originally evolved from water algae or not. I never thought about it. I guess I just figured God was "just there". But God could have, I daresay.
Could we all become like God? I like to think we little specks of spirit are already parts of God. And when we die to join God - in effect, yes, we're God, too. (Just like my arm and my foot are "me". They don't do very well WITHOUT "me", but, they are still "me".)

Christian evolutionists are totally mixed up, because they do not accept the Bible. They pick and choose which parts of the Bible they want to believe. For example, the Bible says that the sin of Adam and Eve brought death into the world. Evolution says billions of creatures lived and died over millions of years, before the first humans even existed. In fact death is the purported driving force of evolution (the survival of the fittest). So Christian evolutionists disagree with the Bible on the basic effect of sin on God's creation. The Bible makes it clear that the creation was perfect until sin spoilt it and brought in death, corruption and decay. The whole universe is now in a state of entropy because of original sin.

It is my understanding that Christian evolutionists believe that for example: God made single cell organisms and they evolved into what the modern world is.

God did not evolve, but has always existed and I don't know that anything else did either. A difficult concept for man to imagine is that God does not operate based upon clocks and calendars for His world is without the constraints of time. Of Himself, He says, "I am." Meaning exactly that, but at the same time a statement so profound that it escapes our understanding of His dimension.

I am not sure what christian evolutionists are or what they believe, but something of a spiritual nature probably didn't evolve from a physical essence....

I believe that God and his ancestors could have evolved on his home planet; Planet H (Heaven). Planet H could have formed 13 billion years ago, shortly after the Universe was formed. That would make "God" and his parents 9 billion years more advanced than us; scientifically, technologically, and of course, evolutionarily. --

Apparently, God just was. And that is something I can not come to terms with, therefore, I do not believe.
