Evolution theory does not address creation, only what happened to life AFTER it began. There is no reason that God couldn't have created life, and the evolutionary processes as well. Perhaps evolution is a tool God uses. We know evolution happens, life does change and adapt. We know former life forms no longer exist from fossil records. Evolutionn is a fact, although there may have been some mistakes in understanding the fossil records. There's still much more to learn. But evolution and belief in a Creator are not opposing ideas. The problem comes when people think evolution 'proves' there's no God. It has never happened, and probably never will.

I am sorry, but you should rewrite your question. I can't understand it. first of all, and not to put you down in the least, how is: "if evolution theory is true?" even a complete sentence?
If the evolution theory is true or not, life is still the same isn't it? The only thing that's changed is the theory. Long ago man thought the sun and planets revolved around the earth. Later he realized that the earth is a planet and revolves around the sun like the other planets. When his understanding of the universe changed, how was the view of daylight hours and nightime hours altered? It wasn't, only his perception changed. And, if the sun still revolved around the planet instead....? The view from earth would be the same anyway.

Evolutionary theory does not preclude god. Darwin never said that humans evolved from apes. He said that each species evolved to best fill the environment in which it lived. A preacher who thought he was a science critic and didn't like the idea said that Darwin had said humans evolved from apes and the war was on.
As for what good has god done, if god created the universe then there is the answer. If the universe is a random numbers fluke, then god doesn't exist and so the question has no answer. Do you really need this headache?

You could argue that God breathed life into the first living things and evolution went on from there. You could even argue that God "directed" evolution. But evolution is a fact, my friend. It's already been proven in a scientific setting.

A long time ago while attending one of my classes, Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy, I had to rationalize religion and evolution. Obviously, there is evolution and, to me, obviously, there is religion. I finally did so by adopting my own theory, namely, that evolution most certainly did occur but only with the guiding hand of God. It took place entirely with His guidance. He called the shots via a combination of time, conditions, circumstances and everything else over aeons of time. Years after adopting this theory as my own and feeling comfortable with it, the Catholic church came out with it. I saw it one morning on the news and I was surprised. I came up with it first. I am not Catholic, but I think they have this one right.

In creation theory God created us. In evolution theory we create God. In evolution as we are, so shall God be. In evolution we pass on our acquired characteristics to the coming generations. And inherited and acquired characteristics are passed on to next generations. This is how God is created and recreated.

Evolution is a theory with much science backing it's thesis.
Watch Carl Sandburg's series Cosmos and draw your own conclusion on religion.

Religion seeks to answer why the world was created, not how. Science seeks to answer how the world was created, not why.
A proper understanding of the author and ruler of the universe has room for science and the human effort to understand that which we do not yet understand.
Fans of rock don't have to hate fans of disco, even though they sometimes do.
Christians don't have to hate Jews even though they sometimes do.
Believers do not have to hate science.
Scientists do not have to hate faith.
Think how many religious people are excellent scientists.
There is no natural conflict between religion and science.
The conflict is between ideologies and ideologues.
