Something of a mix. I believe evolution is present and continues to be at work, but I believe it took intelligent design to set things off. Irreducible complexity is just one example of certain things that makes me believe it wasn't all from pure chance. Neither can be proven, but then again, isn't part of believing in creationism going by faith? I can't say I'm absolutely certain of either, but I haven't walked enough paths of this world, or seen enough or heard enough or said enough or thought enough to feel that I can be sure of my exact stance on this just yet. Maybe some day I will feel that I have had my senses open enough to see the proof of it all, or at least proof of its presence if not it directly, such that I can settle my mind on a answer. But for now, I guess that's one of those questions I'll save for asking the Big Guy when I see him.

Did you know that the Biblical creation story supports what scientists know know about evolution? The Bible gives the correct order of life from lowest to highest.
SO, first God created fish, then birds, then mammals, then man, and finally WOMAN!
LOL
Afterward: Obviously I believe in evolution, if you didn't get that from what I wrote above. Why? Because there is tons of evidence for evolution in the fossil record, DNA evidence, and even changes in species in our lifetimes. (Look how many different breeds of dogs and cats have evolved in the past couple of decades.) However, the only evidence for creation is in the Bible, and it is full of inaccuracies and inconsistencies. For instance, look at Matthew 4:8 where Satan takes Jesus to the top of a mountain, so he can see the whole earth. Obviously, the person who wrote Matthew believed that the earth was flat and this belief became part of the Bible. The Bible says that the earth was created in six days and that the fishes were created before the sun and moon. If so, then how is it that the fish didn't freeze? With no sun, the earth would have been at minus 459 F. The Bible says that the universe was created about 6,000 years ago. If so, how is it that we can see stars that are more than 6,000 light years away? Noah floated for more than 6 months in a salt water ocean, then sent out a dove who brought back a FRESH olive branch. Where did this fresh olive branch come from if the whole world had been soaking in salt water for more than half a year? And what about the fresh water fish? Wouldn't they have died once the lakes and rivers became inumdated with sea water? Oh, I know, they evolved from salt water fish to fresh water fish after the flood! LOL
You don't have to look far to find scientific inaccuracies in the Bible.

Creation followed by evolution. Evolution is a process in which something passes by degrees to a different stage (especially a more advanced or mature stage). I believe that the world has a Creator so it exists in this form and then by gradual evolution each eg. species of animal/plant developed into different varieties and then natural selection took its place. So I believe in both creation and evolution.

Both creation and evolution are beliefs that I understand to coexist with one another. They don't have to contradict. You present the question as though they are not in harmony with one another. I'll explain shortly:
Evolution is a scienfitically sound theory and should be honored as such no matter what set of beliefs from which one comes. Creation, as one may see it, includes the theory of evolution.
Philosophically speaking, evolution as humans understand may be this version of Creation that has been interpreted solely through mortal senses. We as humans are restricted to but only the 5 in which we were dealt in life, so who is to say that there aren't other ways of understanding how "everything" came about?
In short, see what I say as this: Creation is the divine explanation of evolution. Evolution itself is the mortal and rigid.
