This is actually a topic that has always interested me intensly... I have read a lot on it and have come to the following conclusion (simplified):

Evolution is a theory. BUT, it has a lot of credence. We can't just simply ignore millions of years of fossil records because we want to believe in God. If you look at evolution and the fossil record, it shows us that it has direction, not random mutations. Also, given a 15 billion year limit, even at a high mutation rate (and each mutation keeps its knowledge of previous mutuations to keep from mutating into its own death-most mutations are fatal), it's almost impossible to start from 1 unaware cell to what is there now. American Scientist, Popular Science, etc., have all discounted (I can find the dates of the articles) Evolution as a viable reason we are to the point we are at.

I believe that there is definitely a supreme being... call it God, Alien, or whatever... But it exists... (why not? Most people believe aliens HAVE to exist somewhere in the universe... what if one just exists outside of time?)

Now... the fun part... Christian faith and evolution.
If you look closely at the record of God creating the world in Genesis and the fossil record/scientific data, the steps they state coincide exactly... From what first was created, to man...

I can get some more info if you'd like... let me know.
