> is some kind of instrumentality, be it evolution, quantum electrodynamics, or anything else

Where can I learn more about instrumentality (besides Neon Genesis Evangelion)?

The Bible, the Catechism, various works by Ambrose, Jerome, Augustine, Aquinas, to name a few, and the liturgical prayers of the Church to name just a few sources. I assume the Eva reference is meant to be mocking, but the Japanese artists who created it were very much intrigued and influenced by western theological and spiritual thought. Much like how many westerners are intrigued and influenced by eastern theological and spiritual thought.

In short, instrumentality deals with the how of God achieving His will. God, the incarnation excepted, is pure spirit, so in order to achieve His will materially He created and then used physical laws, among other things. The Big Bang is the greatest billiard break in cosmic history. So, for the well-formed Catholic, the possibility and apparent likelihood that God achieved the creation of Man using, among other instruments, evolution from lower life forms, isn't at all a problem.
