I believe in both because Cain was scared of somebody when he was banished. So there was some kind of people here before God created the garden of Eden.

Sure! One can see evidence of evolution everywhere. Scientists can demonstrate evolution in flies and other insects or animals.
Just because one believes in God does not mean one believes that creation is static. We are living beings, the earth is living, the animals, plants, trees and insects do also. Believing that we change an adapt is not an affront to God and creation - -its simply the way life works - things change and adapt. Just because you believe in evolution - does not mean that you neccisarily accept the idea that we evolved from apes. It means that you recognize the changes that occur in the genetics from generation to generation. Thats why some babies are born with an imunity to the Aids virus - or why cancer can be genetic.

I think not only is it possible but highly plausible. Given the effects of what we have done to the environment over the years and the ways many different species of animal have had to adapt to their environment I would say evolution has it's place. Perhaps God created us in his image but allowed for all other things to change as needed to suit what damage man has and still is doing. As a lable I do not know what you would call it....Divine creative evolution?

No label for it yet, I've always just called myself a Christian, even though I've always believed in both evolution and creation.
How about a creationistic evolutionist?
Or maybe a evolucreationist?
Oh I know! A Christianutionist ........ lol

I don't know the name of it but -
they believe that God created evolution.
EDIT: Found the name:
Theistic Evolutionism
Theistic Evolutionism
Is a world-view based on the following concepts
God exists.
The universe was created about 14 billion years ago (by God).
The physical constants and laws of this universe were fine-tuned by God to enable intelligent life to exist.
The earth came into being about 4.5 billion years ago.
This occurred via a process that was ultimately created by God.
Micro-evolution is a Fact.
Naturalistic (atheistic) Mega-evolution is not a Fact
but rather is an atheist-faith-based Naturalistic (atheistic) Theory.
This sentence is not meant to be derogatory in any sense.
Theistic Mega-Evolution is true.
God created the parameters and laws of matter and of our universe such that
by completely uninterrupted processes (i.e., without any further intervention by God),
the physical universe evolved into its current physical form,
life originated, and
all living creatures evolved by evolutionary processes (which include neo-Darwinian processes).
Such evolution was the process that God used to create human beings.
Note: Theistic Evolutionism is sometimes called Fully-Gifted Creationism.
The idea here is that God fully gifted the creation (the physical universe) with all of the properties necessary for life to originate and to evolve into intelligent and spiritual creatures such as human beings.

Yes. Evolution is the theory of change over time (man) but ask yourself from Adam came Eve but is it Possible God Created man and man has evolved?

Yes, Muslims believe in evolution and God. The Quran talks about the "big bang theory" as well. http://www.alislam.org/library/books/revelation/part_4_section_5.html

Looking at this from a non-religious perspective, if God, by definition is Omipotent (all powerful) then there's nothing to stop Him from creating the world any way he wants, including having humanity evolve from ape like creatures.

Sure. One of the leading proponents of evolution and opponents of Intelligent Design in the country is Ken Miller, and he's a Roman Catholic. People find ways to make the two compatible.

Tell me how did this whole thing get started? I mean who put the first the very first micro cell in the very beginning to start this atmosphere? Before anything was here. It had to be God. Believe what you want.
