The first thing to understand when saying that evolution is "only a theory" is that Theory in scientific terms does not mean quite the same thing as theory in general discourse.
A scientific theory is the best scietific explanation of something based on the solid evidence which is available. It isn't a guess or a suposition, it is a scientific expalnation of the known facts. All of the facts that we have uncovered in over 150 years point clearly at the process of evolution.
Well, as a Christian Witch, I believed God created man :). But, I have theorized that God made the big bang and we were formed that way, and were given the ability to revolutionize at a faster pace than other creatures, but that's just one of my thoughts... Cool question, though :)
I believe in it all. God, the Goddess, Jesus, evolution...everything. The world is an amazing place and its ridiculous to me for anyone to believe that all the past present and future... the sky, the birds, the trees, man, women everything was not created purposely by one so far removed from us that the magnificence is incomprehensible to us in flesh.

I've said it many times; but here we go again. You may believe anything you wish; but a belief does not make it true!
If you choose to believe that God created the Earth, and everything in it, then you must accept that He/She created volcanoes,earthquakes. tornados, floods, The Ebola virus, and every other virus. The Tetse fly. The Mosquito. The Black Death. The Hurricanes. The Ice Age.
You cannot pick and choose!
When lightning destroys a building, often killing those inside, it is always claimed that "it was an act of God!". That's some God!
