Incorrect. It's indeed open to the interpretation that he gave his commands in rapid succession, but there's no reason to believe that his commands were necessarily carried out in that time frame, only that he (in his divine prescience) saw that they were good immediately after issuing his commands to nature.

Evolution is not special creation.
Correct.

If species evolve, they are not created.
Correct. Genesis states that God assigned to nature (i.e., the waters and the earth) the "bringing forth" of all the living creatures, therefore they are not intelligently designed by God. Genesis equates (1) God creating the living creatures with (2) the waters and the earth bringing them forth in response to his command.

"And God said, let the earth bring forth grass ... seed ... fruit ... and the earth brought them forth."

"And God said, let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life."
