I see it pretty simply.
I am also a Christian who not only believes in God but has experienced circumstantial SPIRITUAL evidence of His existence. THEREFORE: I have no reason to ignore a SPIRITUAL hypothesis that assumed His intervention.
HOWEVER: I have yet to experience scientific evidence of His existence. THEREFORE: I have reason to ignore a SCIENTIFIC hypothesis that assumed His intervention.
God, being spiritual (supernatural), must act in spiritual (supernatural) ways. If it is possible that these spiritual (supernatural) acts intersect with the natural world via miracles then they would not leave scientific evidence. If a miracle were to leave scientific evidence of how it occured it wouldn't be a miracle. When it comes to speciation and common descent we have scientific evidence, therefore I accept a scientific cause.
