Evolution easily, Religion doesn't explain anything about the universe or it's creation.
It's hard to try to figure out it's creation though since we cannot see around the universe, and how it's difficult to explain something's creation when there couldn't have been anything before it.
Tim Leary really got me thinking when he said the universe is like the human brain with billions of small peices that were more powerful than anything we can imagine. This brings up an idea that the universe is our mind, when we peer out into space we're really looking into our own brains in a collective sense. Or we could all be a small fraction of another being's brain, perhaps the brain of "God".
We just don't know, and we'll probably never know. How can we figure out the universe around us when we can't even figure out ourselves and why we're here? Maybe the answers of both fall under the same reasoning.
