I have always viewed evolution and creation as being more complementary than at odds. I think evolution is part of God's creation, as opposed to an alternate explanation. It's the mechanism He put into living things. Evolutionary biologists are fond of referring to their theory of abiogensis, or abiotic genesis of life, the idea that simple life forms came about from non-living matter. Is it true? I don't know. Seems consistent to me with what the book of Genesis says: God created the Heavens and the Earth, the Lightness and the Dark, the Air, Seas, and Land, and only after these did the living creatures come. We do know that living beings on this planet are made from the same raw materials as the rocks, the sea, and the air. Yet those things are not living.
People can certainly get into the weeds with some of the more broad and sweeping claims of evolution, and I think some of it is outright nonsense, but if you look at it as the product of natural selection over thousands or millions of iterations then it is sensible. It merely deepens my sense of wonder at God's majestic creation.
