Evolutionary Theory is in flux, but the fact that life on this planet "evolves" is an indisputable fact. You can watch it happen just like Darwin did, if you care to take the time and trouble.

uh...... tumadre......... that would be: "where would that leave Darwin?" Not: "Where does that leave Darwin?"
Unless of course you are being presumptuous. *-)

If you have ever read Darwin's writings (which you obviously have not), even Darwin acknowledges that there is a Creator, i.e. God. Check it out in Origin of the Species sometime.

Evolution is a theory backed by a lot of data. Evolution has nothing to do with Creationism as it does not say how everything began (That would be the Big bang theory).
Science does not say there is no God whatsoever (unlike religious right which thinks just about all science is wrong and satanism), just that science cannot observe God scientifically yet, and who is to say God didn't use evolution as it's tool?
God is in the heart and belief of the people and science is the cold hard facts we can test and see right now...there is no real conflict and scientists could be said to be the most devout people since they concentrate on understanding God's creation.

What if evolution was a myth and creation a fact? Where does that leave Darwin? God created the "world" to evolve.

Bah!! Both creation and evolution are true. God created the universe and let the cards fall where they may. Man has an innate desire to feel special and be in the incrowd. So they said that God created them in his image and that everyone who didn't believe their version of events is going to hell. Science and religion aren't that far apart. Science is the art of believing in what you see and religion is the art of believing what you can't see. The line between them has grown very fine in the past century as scientists have come up with theories that we can't prove and religious leaders have imposed doctrines we can't abide.

Hmmm, "in flux" does that translate to mean you have to keep moving the goal post to fit the evidence? Life on this planet does change to adapt to situations, conditions and circumstances, we as creationists do not dispute this. But that is not Darwinian evolution. A finch's beak may change to adapt to their environment and food resources, but it is still a finch. You cannot show one case where one kind of animal "evolved" into another i.e. reptile to bird. And please don't point to the Archeopteryx, that was proven to be a fraud a long time ago.

If you prefer your god to be one of smoke and mirrors, flashy special effects and "abra cadabras" you'll pick creationism.
If you prefer your god to be a thoughtful god who established all the natural laws billions of years ago and then watches as the universe unfolds in accordance with those laws, you might choose evolution.
Of course, to believe in god at all you have to explain how god could love humanity so little that he knew, before he made Adam and Eve, that he'd be tossing over 75% of us into Hell to burn forever. If you want to worship a god who burns 3 out of 4 humans, does it really matter whether he used creationism or evolution to produce the surplus he's willing to burn?

Really, only some "gods" are disproven by evolution. There are religions in which evolution does not contradict god's existence. Perhaps the contradicted religions should regroup into religions where this isn't a problem.

It leaves certain concepts of god as problematic. The real god doesn't even know this stuff is going on because god knows us only in a state of oneness.

Evolutionary theory by itself says nothing of God's existence or non-existence. I don't think the two concepts are mutually exclusive.
