I think pagans would either be Creationist, or they would feel that Creationism and Evolutionism aren't at odds with each other, and subscribe to both.

You people who answer with "who cares" or "whatever" really might want to consider spending your time on some other forum since this is a place where questions are asked and answers with some thought given are expected.
Pagans have many different beliefs but in Wicca, one of the pagan religions, there is a creation story and as far as I know most followers of Wicca believe in reincarnation. We also believe that everything has a spirit including rocks and that we spend our time on this earthly plane for a reason that we have chosen, therefore I think evolution is not really part of our religious belief. Evolution may occur because the planet's ecosystems are set up to be self sustaining so long as those natural balances are not upset, which of course they have been.

Probably mostly Evolution. There may have been some initial creation, but not in the whole 'Deity clicks their fingers and the universe pops into being'
Physics defines energy as something that cannot be destroyed or created, that it can only be changed from one form to another. Maybe some form of energy existed in a form we simply cannot understand as we are now, and that before things started to evolve, time had no meaning, so no beginnings and no endings.
Just a thought... we may never know.

Each culture has its creation story, and with the exception Judeo-Christian, these are pagan cultures.
The scientific theory of evolution is a theory that explain facts introduced by Darwin.

Paganism covers such a wide variety of beliefs you cant really say. Most I know - myself included - believe in evolution.

Pagans do "all" not, ALL have confidence in neither, God , gods, nor evolution. Any faith of antiquity has a writer god, who molded the earth. The God of the Bible, the account stated interior, with regard to the creation of the earth exchange into written by utilising Moses to counteract the diverse claims being made by utilising the pagan tribes around the country of historic Israel of the time. The Babylonians had Marduk as their writer god, working example. the main significant distinction exchange into, that the account given by utilising Moses to the Jewish Israelites of the time, exchange into inspired by utilising God - the real writer of the Universe.

I would think it would have to be evolution.
